Mazda is giving fleet customers a sneak preview of the all-new, all-electric Mazda6e, ahead of the start of sales this summer.

The all-electric successor to the Mazda6, the electric family-car newcomer takes to the road for an exclusive national tour that includes a headline slot at this April’s Great British Fleet Event.

As part of a special roadshow introduction, a fleet of European specification left-hand-drive models, driven by Mazda’s regional corporate sales managers, is visiting over 75 businesses across the UK.

At the same time, the stylish and practical electric hatchback cum saloon will be at GBFE on 16 April in Milton Keynes, giving operators an optimum opportunity to experience the vehicle in-person ahead of launch.

The activity runs in parallel with a roadshow visiting Mazda’s 114-strong dealer network, which will also raise awareness of local fleet opportunities presented by the car.

Jeremy Thomson, Mazda Motors UK, managing director, said: “Over the years we have built close relationships with end-user fleets across the UK, so we are keen to give them the earliest possible opportunity to see, drive and assess the Mazda6e.

“This model marks a significant milestone for our fleet strategy. The D-segment of the BEV fleet market is expanding and we are entering it with a model that aligns with what businesses and user-choosers are actively looking for: competitive whole‑life costs, practicality and desirability.

“The Mazda6e is designed to do an important job which is why we are giving fleet managers this chance to experience the car for themselves ahead of its launch.

“We’re looking forward to working with our corporate customers to build awareness of the Mazda6e as we evolve our brand into the electric era.”

The Mazda6e will compete in the expanding D-segment of the BEV fleet market, blending Japanese craftmanship with cutting-edge innovation. Its high-performance driving experience is powered by ultra-efficient EV technology with up to 348 miles of WLTP range.

The Mazda63 also delivers competitive pricing, low total cost of ownership and driver satisfaction.
