Drive-away pricing lands for the 6e and CX-6e
Mazda has introduced nationwide drive-away pricing on the 6e electric sedan and CX-6e electric SUV, offering estimated savings of up to about $2,600, according to reporting by drive.com.au carried via Ground News. The change comes roughly three months after the 6e first reached Australian showrooms and just days before the CX-6e's Australian launch, with the offer available at Mazda dealers now. 1
Zecar's deals listing, published on 23 September 2026, records the same campaign: drive-away pricing on the Mazda 6e E35 GT hatchback from $52,990 drive-away and the CX-6e E35 GT medium SUV from $56,990 drive-away, running until 31 December 2026. Zecar notes the drive-away price includes 12 months registration, CTP insurance, stamp duty, statutory charges and dealer delivery, with premium paint excluded and terms and conditions applying. 2
The reported prices, and a variant-level discrepancy
Drive.com.au, in its report carried by Ground News, puts the 6e at $52,990 drive-away for the GT and $56,990 drive-away for the Atenza, with each variant $1,000 more in Western Australia. The estimated savings figure of up to about $2,600 is attributed to Redbook data in that report. 1
Zecar's listing presents the headline prices differently at variant level: it names the 6e E35 GT from $52,990 drive-away and the CX-6e E35 GT from $56,990 drive-away, without listing a 6e Atenza drive-away figure. The $52,990 GT figure is common to both sources, but readers comparing grades should note the two outlets differ on which model carries the $56,990 price. Neither source's page states which CX-6e grades are covered beyond the E35 GT named by Zecar. 12
How the drive-away figures sit against list prices
At the 6e's July 2026 Australian arrival, the GT was priced at $49,990 before on-road costs and the Atenza at $52,990 before on-road costs, according to Gridly's review. These list prices exclude on-road costs, so they are not directly comparable with the current drive-away figures, which bundle registration, CTP insurance, stamp duty and dealer delivery. 3
CarExpert's pricing page, based on a Sydney location, lists 2026 6e drive-away pricing from $54,607 for the GT up to $57,757 for the Atenza, noting prices may vary between states and territories and are subject to change. Set against those Sydney-based drive-away figures, the new $52,990 national drive-away price for the GT reported by drive.com.au would represent a meaningful reduction, though the two figures are drawn from different dates and locations and CarExpert's page does not reflect the September campaign. 41
What the drive-away price buys: 6e specification in brief
Both 6e variants share the same hardware according to Gridly's July 2026 review: a 78 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery with a claimed 560 km WLTP range, a 190 kW rear motor with 290 Nm, 0-100 km/h in a Mazda-quoted 7.9 seconds, DC fast charging peaking at 195 kW, and 1,500 kg braked towing. The GT carries a 14.6-inch touchscreen, Sony 14-speaker audio, wireless smartphone mirroring, heated and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and 19-inch wheels, while the Atenza adds tan leather and suede interior trim. Gridly notes the 6e had not received an ANCAP or Euro NCAP rating at the time of writing in July 2026. 3
CX-6e context ahead of its local launch
The CX-6e's arrival in Australian showrooms is imminent, with drive.com.au reporting the pricing campaign begins days before the SUV's local launch. Zecar's earlier records show Mazda Australia offered the first 1,000 customers who pre-ordered the 2026 CX-6e GT a free upgrade to the Azami grade, saving $3,000, with the CX-6e starting from $53,990 before on-road costs, 484 km of claimed WLTP range, 30-80 per cent DC fast charging in around 15 minutes, and first deliveries expected in September 2026. 12
