Mazda has confirmed UK pricing for the all-electric CX-6e, with the new mid-size SUV starting at £42,990 and offering up to 300 miles of WLTP range when it arrives later in 2026.
The CX-6e will be offered in two UK grades: Takumi at £42,990 and Takumi Plus at £45,350. Both use a 78kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, rear-wheel drive and a 258PS electric motor, placing Mazda directly into one of the most competitive parts of the UK EV market.
For buyers, the headline is not simply that Mazda has another electric SUV on the way. The key development is that the company has now put a firm UK price against the CX-6e — and that price brings it into direct consideration alongside established family EVs from Tesla, Škoda and Hyundai.
Mazda CX-6e UK pricing starts at £42,990
According to Mazda UK, the entry CX-6e Takumi costs £42,990, while the Takumi Plus is priced at £45,350.
That gives the range a relatively narrow £2,360 spread. Rather than using the Plus model to introduce a different battery or powertrain, Mazda is focusing the upgrade on extra comfort, design and camera technology.
The Takumi comes with 19-inch alloy wheels as standard, while 21-inch wheels are available as a £1,000 option. Takumi Plus gets 21-inch wheels as standard, along with digital rear-view and side cameras, additional ambient lighting, heated outer rear seats and ventilated outer rear seat bases.
78kWh LFP battery and up to 300 miles of range
Every UK CX-6e uses a 78kWh LFP battery and a single rear-mounted electric motor producing 258PS and 290Nm of torque.
Mazda quotes a preliminary WLTP range of up to 300 miles. Acceleration from 0-62mph takes 7.9 seconds on 19-inch wheels, with a top speed of 115mph.
The battery chemistry is also worth noting. LFP packs have become increasingly common in mainstream EVs because they avoid nickel and cobalt in the cathode and are well suited to regular charging cycles. For the CX-6e, the more immediate question for owners will be how the 300-mile laboratory figure translates into motorway and winter efficiency once cars reach UK roads.
200kW charging and a 24-minute 10-80% time
Maximum DC charging is rated at 200kW, with Mazda quoting 10-80% in 24 minutes under suitable conditions. The onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW three-phase charging through a Type 2 connection.
That 200kW peak puts the CX-6e in a strong position on paper. As ever, the peak figure only tells part of the story: sustained charging speed, battery temperature and the shape of the charging curve will determine how quickly owners can actually add useful motorway range.
We will be particularly interested in real-world charging performance once the CX-6e is available for testing, because a consistent curve can matter more on a long journey than a brief headline peak.
A 26.45-inch screen dominates the cabin
Mazda is also loading the CX-6e with considerably more screen technology than buyers may associate with its existing models.
The centrepiece is a 26.45-inch touchscreen with a dual-split layout, complemented by a large head-up display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, alongside voice recognition, gesture controls and Mazda’s own connected app.
The app includes remote functions such as battery charge management and Bluetooth key sharing. Nine airbags are standard, while cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors support systems including Smart Brake Support, Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Monitoring.
How does the CX-6e price compare?
At £42,990, the CX-6e lands squarely among the UK’s established electric family SUVs rather than trying to sit above them as a premium-priced alternative.
For context, the Tesla Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive is currently listed at £41,990, while the Škoda Enyaq range starts at £39,520 for the SE L 60, with the longer-range Edition 85 priced at £44,820. Hyundai lists the IONIQ 5 from £40,695.
That makes the Mazda competitive rather than class-leading on entry price alone. Its case instead rests on combining a 300-mile quoted range, 200kW charging and a substantial standard equipment list without pushing buyers immediately into a higher trim.

Takumi or Takumi Plus?
The £42,990 Takumi appears to be the value-focused choice. It retains the same battery, motor, charging capability and core cabin technology as the more expensive version, while also using the smaller 19-inch wheels associated with Mazda’s quickest quoted 0-62mph figure.
Takumi Plus adds more luxury and technology for £2,360, particularly for rear-seat passengers. Buyers who value the digital mirrors, rear-seat heating and ventilation, 21-inch wheels and upgraded interior treatment may find that a reasonable step, but there is no performance or range upgrade attached to the higher price.
Tech Torque Verdict
The £42,990 starting price gives the Mazda CX-6e a credible entry into a very crowded part of the UK EV market.
It is not the cheapest electric SUV in its class, but Mazda has avoided pricing it substantially above the established alternatives. A 78kWh LFP battery, 300-mile WLTP claim, 200kW rapid charging and strong standard technology make the specification competitive on paper.
The bigger unanswered questions are the ones that matter after purchase: real-world efficiency, charging-curve consistency, ride quality on UK roads and whether Mazda’s move towards a heavily screen-led cabin still feels intuitive in everyday use.
Those will have to wait until the CX-6e reaches customers and reviewers later this year. For now, the confirmed UK price has turned Mazda’s new electric SUV from an interesting future arrival into a genuine alternative buyers may want to put on their shortlist.
