Mazda Australia has revealed local pricing and specifications for its incoming new CX-6e electric medium SUV ahead of the first deliveries commencing from September 2026. The CX-6e is priced from $53,990 plus on-road costs for the entry-level GT and will offer a WLTP-rated range of up to 484km from its 78kWh battery.

Notably, the CX-6e’s pricing undercuts big-selling rivals like the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7 and Zeekr 7X and will compete in Mazda showrooms with the new CX-5 that arrives in July, as well as the CX-60 already on sale.

The CX-6e will be offered in two grades in Australia, mirroring the Mazda 6e electric sedan that it shares a platform with: entry-level GT and upper-spec Azami. Even the GT is very well equipped, with features including 19-inch wheels, LED exterior and interior lighting, synthetic leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic glass roof, a 1280W 23-speaker sound system, a 26.45-inch touchscreen and a head-up display in place of a traditional driver’s screen.

The upper-spec Azami further adds larger 21-inch wheels and digital mirrors on both the exterior and interior.

The CX-6e range for now will use a 78kWh LFP battery, which is capable of DC fast charging from 30 to 80 per cent in as little as 15 minutes thanks to a healthy maximum charging speed of 195kW. The CX-6e’s WLTP-rated range is up to 484km, which is more than entry-level versions of the Model Y (466km), 7X (480km) and Sealion 7 (482km).

Both CX-6e variants use a 190kW/290Nm rear-mounted motor, and at launch initially, other battery variants and a dual-motor drivetrain will not be offered locally.
