In this review, Tom and Joy from Ludicrous Feed assess the Mazda 6e Atenza, a rear-wheel-drive electric sedan sharing underpinnings with the Deepal L07, featuring a 78 kWh LFP battery with 560 km WLTP range, 194 kW DC fast charging, V2L, and a 7.9-second 0–100 km/h time. The Atenza adds leather and suede interior trim for $3,000 over the GT, while both variants include ventilated seats, a glass roof, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Sony sound system, head-up display, and full safety suites. Driving dynamics offer smooth suspension, instant acceleration, and adjustable regen without one-pedal driving, suiting ICE converts. Practical highlights include a large frunk with drain plug, hatchback liftgate, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats, though rear headroom is limited. Competing against the Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal, IM5, Kia EV4, and Hyundai Ioniq 6, the Mazda 6e stands out for its premium interior and refined road manners | Video by Tom Gan (Tesla Tom) and Joy of Ludicrous Feed from Sydney Australia August 2026
