Mazda6e - driving impressions by Neil on video
2026 Mazda6e - driving impressions What’s the Mazda6e like to drive? Well, it’s really nice; very smooth, refined and efficient too. A lovely thing to drive. Irish pricing from €37,935 including VRT rebate and SEAI grant.

2026 Mazda6e - boot space - and frunk - on video
Boot space in the Mazda6e is rated at 466 litres, but if you need more, the rear seats can fold down, increasing cargo volume to 1,074 litres. Furthermore, there is 72 litres of storage available in the frunk under the bonnet up front. Irish pricing from €37,935 including VRT rebate and SEAI grant.

Mazda6e rear passenger space on video
For those sitting in the rear seats of the Mazda6e, legroom and headroom are good, though if you opt for the glass roof, it does eat into some of that headroom. On Takumi Plus models and above, rear passengers get a touchscreen on the back of the centre console to adjust climate settings, move the passenger seat forward (if it's unoccupied) and operate the electric sunshade for the glass roof. Both of the outer rear seats contain ISOFIX child seat anchor points. Irish pricing from €37,935 including VRT rebate and SEAI grant.
