The CX-6e was originally for China only, but was recently displayed at the Brussels motor show, where the brand revealed it would be going global.
It is built on the same platform as the Deepal S07, which went on sale in Australia in 2025.
Mazda Australia Managing Director Vinesh Bhindi said the CX-6e will be a Mazda through and through despite its Chinese origins.
“The design is bold and striking, bringing a new evolution of the Kodo Soul of Motion philosophy that Mazda customers know and love.

"And when you pair this unmistakable craftsmanship with the acclaimed Jinba-Ittai driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology, it’s clear that this is not just another EV, it’s a Mazda through and through,” said Bhindi.
Mazda engineers and designers told CarsGuide at the 2025 Tokyo motor show that a lot of work was put into making the new cars feel like a Mazda.
The CX-6e looks the part with Mazda’s trademark design language and it measures 4850mm long, 1935mm wide and 1670mm tall, which means it is slightly larger than the Mazda CX-60 premium mid-size SUV and the Tesla Model Y.

This allows it to sprint from zero to 100km/h in 7.9 seconds.
At its heart is a circa-78kWh Lithium-Ferro-Phosphate (LFP) battery that delivers a driving range of up to 483km, according to the benchmark WLTP test cycle.
No word on price, but expect it to be slightly more expensive than the 6e sedan, which starts at less than $55,000 (before on-road costs).
