Mazda 6e (Sedan) Atenza

This will be an ongoing review about the 6e which I have purchased in August 2026. Time to dip my toes into an electric vehicle as the cost is running ICE escalates My advice is to purchase a home charger it makes life so much easier….Purchased the soul crystal red in the altenza model and for transparency I have 4 other Mazdas including 2x 3 rx8 and a rx7 hence what attracted me to the 6 as opposed to the BYD (Yes I know they are Both made in China) is the build quality…Looked at a few EV during the decision process and like the 6 is a rear wheeled drive with an interior that screams high end luxury….its not quick however will push you back into the drivers seat at a spirited take off…The main critique for this car is the GUI and the lack of physical buttons to make changes as all the input are made via the touch screen which can be distracting when driving. I have to say at this stage very impressed with the build quality and the ride…we charge up one a when we get home from work and it’s fully charged overnight via a 7kw charger at around 38%…Lane keeping option is a little aggressive however can be turned off. Is great having to drive past servo and not worrying to fill up with the only visits to the servo going from $150 per week to $150 every two months…..
