Review – Mazda 6e (2025), what is the power consumption after 4,000 kilometers?
Mazda 6th in a nutshell
In a nutshell, the Mazda 6th is an all-electric hatchback (BEV) that you can get with a 68.8 kWh battery (479 km WLTP) or an 80 kWh battery (range 552 km WLTP), christened in Mazda’s price list as Standard Range and the Long Range, respectively.
Loading times Mazda 6th
The standard 6th charges at 165 kW (10-80% in 24 minutes), the Long Range charges at 90 kW (10-80% in 47 minutes). Let’s also express inkilometers. The new Mazda 6e with the standard 68.8 kWh battery recharges 235 km in 15 minutes with 165 kW direct current. The Mazda 6e Long Range recharges up to 385 km in 47 minutes with 90 KW direct current. So it is important to look carefully at your own requirements. A smaller range but be able to fast charge, or a longer range and lower fast charging power. You decide.

Performance
The Mazda 6e is always a rear-wheel-drive car. The base version has a system output of 190 kW (258 hp). For the 6th Long Range, the system output is 180 kW (245 hp). With that comes the following jump figures. The Standard Range sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and the Long Range does so in 7.8 seconds. The top speed of both cases is 175 km/h and both versions can tow 1,500 kilograms with brakes.
Luggage space and frunk
There is no shortage of space, by the way. This Mazda has a luggage space of 466 liters of boot space, rising to 1,074 liters with the rear seats flat. In the front, the 72-liter frunk provides additional storage space, ideal for a bag or the charging cable. By the way, that frunk is only accessible via a lever under the dashboard.
Mazda 6th: power consumption after 4,000 kilometers
So far some background information. But how economical is the Mazda 6e actually in practice? Let’s talk about power consumption or energy consumption. The on-board computer of this test car shows that nicely. After 4,000 test kilometers, the average energy consumption stands at 16.4 kWh per 100 kilometers. Is that bad or good? Know that on paper Mazda quotes an average energy consumption of 16.5 to 16.6 kWh per 100 km. So that turns out to be nicely correct in practice. If we take 16.4 kWh as the average energy consumption, then in practice you can travel 420 kilometers with the 68.8 kWh battery and up to 487 kilometers with the 80 kWh battery.
Infotainment system
OK, and then there’s the infotainment system. By far the biggest point of habituation of this new Mazda. In terms of ergonomics, the 6th does take some steps backwards compared to other modern Mazda cars. That’s because all the functions are hidden in the infotainment system. So that requires some explanation. We explain all the menus and functions in the video of this article. In it, we do a deep-dive into the 14.6-inch touchscreen.
