6e 78 kWh (MY26)

The Mazda 6e 78 kWh (MY26) is a 5-seat liftback with rear-wheel drive, sold new in 2026, when it cost £38,995 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds, slower than 70% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 292 miles (470 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 68% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 23rd of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (164 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 77 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 135 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 338 miles (544 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Second-hand, a 2026 example is estimated at £22,200–£25,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2026 car should still manage about 292 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
