Mazda has unveiled a high-tech and affordable Tesla Model Y rival for Europe: what's known about the new CX-6e

Mazda is expanding its electric lineup in Europe and has officially unveiled the new Mazda CX-6e crossover. The model is aimed at the mass market and is directly positioned to compete with the Tesla Model Y—the most popular electric crossover in the EU.

The Mazda CX-6e made its debut at the Brussels Motor Show, and sales in Europe are scheduled to begin this summer.

Mazda CX-6e: A European Version with Chinese Roots

The new Mazda CX-6e is a European adaptation of the EZ-60 model, which is manufactured in China. In terms of technology and design philosophy, the crossover is similar to the new Mazda 6e, which has already been introduced in select European Union markets.

In terms of dimensions, the CX-6e is virtually identical to the Tesla Model Y:

• length — 4.85 m

• spacious interior

• targeted at family buyers

Design and practicality: two trunks and a sleek silhouette

The Mazda CX-6e electric crossover features a sharp, modern design with a long hood, high window line, and dynamic silhouette.

Practicality is one of the model’s key features:

• rear trunk—468 liters

• front trunk (frunk)—80 liters

This makes the CX-6e convenient for both city driving and long-distance trips.

Mazda CX-6e Interior: A Focus on Screens and Digital Technology

The Mazda CX-6e’s cabin completely does away with the traditional instrument cluster.
Instead, it features a massive 26-inch display that combines:

• the instrument cluster

• the multimedia system

• vehicle settings

Additionally, information is projected onto the windshield (HUD).
The side mirrors have been replaced with cameras and separate screens, which improves aerodynamics.

The vehicle also comes equipped with:

• a panoramic sunroof

• power-adjustable seats

• premium audio system with 23 speakers

• adaptive cruise control

• advanced driver-assistance systems
