Mazda
Among the 180 Mazda entries in the MotorJury library, the Mazda 6e holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2024. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Mazda 6e properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Nissan Z, the Kia Kia EV6 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Mazda 6e reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol range extender: / 1.5 L JL473QJ I4; quoted output is battery = 58.1 kWh LFP (EV) / 68.8 kWh LFP (EV) / 77.9 kWh LFP (EV; Thailand) / 79.97 kWh Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides / NMC lithium-ion (EV; Europe) / 18.99 kWh Lithium ; kerb weight is recorded at 1778–2037 kg; drive goes through drivetrain = Extended-range electric vehicle (EREV); the layout is Rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout / Rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive (EV) / Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout / Front-engine, rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive (EREV). Worked together, those figures give roughly 33 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Mazda's own catalogue the Mazda 6e sits alongside the Mazda BT-50, the Mazda T2000, the Efini MS-8, the Mazda 121. The record names the Mazda6 as its predecessor and the sp = as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Assembly is recorded at China: Nanjing, Jiangsu (Changan Mazda).
For the years the United States federal record covers, EPA-rated economy comes in at 25 mpg combined, which works out near $2,450 a year in fuel at current prices.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Mazda 6e was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
