2026 Mazda 6e

In 2024, Mazda launched the EZ-6, which was only offered in the domestic Chinese market. Now, production has also begun for the rest of the world, which will be sold under the name Mazda 6e.

The Mazda 6e is 4,921 mm long with a wheelbase of 2,895 mm, and is built on the Changan EPA platform. Customers will be able to choose between two versions, and two equipment packages will be available in Europe.

The entry-level version is equipped with a 68.8 kWh battery that provides a range of up to 479 kilometers per WLTP cycle. Using a 200 kW DC charger, the battery is charged from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes, while a 15-minute charge is enough to cover 235 kilometers.

The second version is the Mazda 6e Long Range, which comes with a larger 80 kWh battery that provides a range of 552 kilometers per WLTP cycle. It is powered by a single electric motor with 245 hp.

When it comes to equipment, buyers can choose between the Takumi and Takumi Plus equipment packages. Takumi includes an interior covered in imitation leather in beige or black, while Takumi Plus offers premium Nappa brown leather or brushed leather, and an electronically dimming roof. A 14-speaker SonyPRO sound system is also available for the hatchback. There are also nine airbags, a driver assistance system with automatic emergency braking, a lane departure warning system and a traffic sign recognition system.

ID. EVERY1 is the most affordable VW EV

VW ID. EVERY1 is the most affordable electric car from the German manufacturer, with a starting price of around 20,000 euros. The concept car was presented on March 5, and its production version should arrive in 2027.

This car is supposed to replace the UP! model, which was discontinued in 2023, and the company says the production version will use a new software architecture. This means the future entry-level model will be able to receive new features throughout its lifecycle.

It is built on the modular MEB platform, like the ID. 2all, which has not yet entered production, and is expected to debut in 2026. It is 3,880 mm long, which means it is smaller than the ID. 2all (4,050 mm) and the current generation Polo (4,074 mm). The interior has a simple design with a large, centrally located touchscreen, buttons for controlling temperature, heating and sound volume. A removable Bluetooth speaker is located between the driver and front passenger. In front of the passenger is a changeable multi-function panel that can be used to attach various items such as a shelf or a tablet. The four-seater also offers a decent 305 liters of luggage space.

The ID EVERY1 is powered by a single electric motor with 94 hp, and has a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). It is not known which battery it will use, but VW promises a range of 250 kilometers.

On March 5th, Volvo will launch its new electric car, the Volvo ES90.

Although Volvo is keeping the details under wraps, it is known that unlike the Polestar 2, which is built on the 400-volt CMA platform, the ES90 will use the 800-volt SPA2 platform.

It will be equipped with a 106 kWh battery that will provide a range of up to 700 kilometers, and a ten-minute charge will be enough for a range of up to 300 kilometers.
