Mazda Australia has confirmed the next step in its electrification journey, and the battery-powered Mazda 6e is due to land here around mid-2026 to fight popular mid-size electric sedans including the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal .

The first battery-electric vehicle (EV) to be offered by the Japanese brand in Australia since the MX-30 Electric SUV, the 2026 Mazda 6e liftback will be offered with a single powertrain configuration across multiple trim levels, with Mazda's local team promising a starting price "under $55,000".

Why under $55,000, you ask? Well, that's bang-on with the top-selling Model 3 (which is priced from $54,900 before on-road costs), though the Seal starts from as low as $46,990 plus on-roads.
