The latest Mazda cars being tested by the CompleteCar.ie team.
Neil’s been driving the Mazda6e this week. As an electric replacement for the Mazda6 it’s a stunner in styling terms and has excellent range and efficiency. It’s Chinese (via Changan) underneath, but it has proper Mazda quality, and while he reckons it could be a little sharper to drive it’s exceptionally quiet and comfortable. Gorgeous seats, too.
The rear-seat accommodation in the Mazda6e is vast, with a flat floor all the way across, wide-opening back doors and climate control. Our test car came with the optional Premium Tan Nappa leather with suede cloth and it feels lovely to touch and sit on. Not everyone will like the colour, but there's black or 'Stone' coloured synthetic leather instead at no cost.
Irish sunshine and the Wicklow mountains bring out the best in the Mazda6e. Shane spent a few days with it and reckons it's one of the best-looking EVs on the market. No wonder it was voted World Car Design of the Year (yeah, Shane is on the jury...).
Dave has travelled to Germany to be one of the first in Europe to get behind the wheel of the Mazda CX-6e. The electric SUV follows hot on the heels of the recently introduced Mazda6e. The CX-6e features a 78kWh battery and has up to a 484-kilometre range, while inside there’s plenty of space and a massive 26-inch display screen stretching across the dashboard.
