Craftsmanship We Feel Every Day
When creating the “CX-6e” interior, Mazda designers paid great attention to how a person feels inside the car and the details they encounter every day. Therefore, it was important not only how the materials look but also how they feel to the touch, how they harmonize with each other, and how they maintain their appearance over time.

Surfaces, finishing materials, and their combinations were chosen so that the interior looks cohesive and maintains a sense of quality for many years. At the same time, the goal was to preserve Mazda’s characteristic subtle and refined aesthetics.
Design Inspired by Japanese Principles
The interior design was guided by the Japanese “Ma” principle, which emphasizes space, balance, and tranquility. In the “CX-6e” interior, this is expressed through a clean, uncluttered design and a thoughtful placement of every detail.
The horizontal line of the dashboard visually widens the interior, and the distinctive lighting element emphasizes its width. The panoramic sunroof stretching across the entire length of the roof lets in plenty of natural light and further enhances the sense of spaciousness.
“When creating the Mazda CX-6e, we aimed for the car’s interior to remain emotional and human-centered even in the era of electric vehicles. Bold proportions and clean, sculptural surfaces give the interior a contemporary feel, while carefully selected materials and details invite touch and exploration. The result is a modern and advanced yet calm, cozy, and unmistakably Mazda interior,” says Jo Stenuit, Design Director at Mazda Motor Europe.
More Space, Clarity, and Comfort
The “CX-6e” was built on a platform specially adapted for electric vehicles, allowing designers to rethink the interior layout. The European design team also made a significant contribution to its development.
Great attention was paid to ensuring everything is clear and easily accessible for the driver. Controls and screens are logically arranged to minimize distractions and allow focus on the road.
The new interior layout also created more space for both front and rear passengers. Therefore, the “CX-6e” is comfortable for daily city driving as well as longer trips.

The platform designed for electric vehicles allowed us to fundamentally rethink the car’s interior. We focused mainly on space, clarity, and simple, intuitive controls to meet the expectations of European customers,” says Filip Boshevski, Lead Interior Designer at Mazda Motor Europe.
Colors and Materials
When choosing the “CX-6e” interior colors and finishing materials, the Japanese principles of harmony and balance were also followed. The aim was to create a calm, contemporary interior whose design remains attractive over the years.
Three interior options are offered:
• warm sand-colored “Maztex”² – “Takumi”;
• black “Maztex” – “Takumi”;
• two-tone – amethyst and white – “Maztex” – “Takumi Plus.”
“We aimed to create harmonious and timeless color combinations. By carefully matching shades, textures, and lighting, we created a calm and cozy interior atmosphere. At the same time, we wanted to convey Mazda’s Japanese design traditions in a contemporary way. When seeking color contrasts, one of the main sources of inspiration was Japanese art, especially the work of Hiroshi Senju,” says Alena Gersonde, Senior Color and Material Designer at Mazda Motor Europe.
Japanese Design Heritage in a Modern Electric Vehicle
The “Mazda CX-6e” shows how advanced technology, functionality, and Japanese design traditions can harmonize in a modern electric vehicle. In the spacious and thoughtfully designed interior, modern technologies do not overshadow the human—they are created to make the car easy and enjoyable to use every day.
The European design team made a significant contribution to the “CX-6e” interior development, yet it retains Mazda’s Japanese-inspired approach to aesthetics, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
