Mazda 6e

Mazda 6e
Mazda has finally produced an EV with usable range – but all is not as it seems The Mazda 6e feels like something of a forced hand for the Japanese brand.Many of us would love for Mazda to merrily keep making MX-5s and a supporting cast of sensibly sized hatchbacks with zingy petrol engines and manual gearboxes, maybe with a couple of straight-six diesels thrown in. But the powers that be have decreed otherwise.If you’re BMW, you can counter any legislative flip-flopping by betting on all the horses: petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric, and throw in hydrogen just in case. But Mazda just doesn’t have the engineering might to do all of it well. Whether it wants to or not, it needs a credible EV (the MX-30 crossover has charm but not much else), so it has turned to its Chinese manufacturing partner Changan and Mazdafied its Deepal SL03.
