11 kW three-phase · 10–80%: Not reliably verified
DC fast charge · 10–80%: Comparable time not verified

Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

560 km WLTP range
194 kW DC peak
336 L hatchback boot plus 72 L frunk
Established national Mazda dealer network

Trim guidance: GT is the value choice because it shares the 78 kWh battery, 560 km WLTP range and 194 kW DC claim with the more expensive Atenza.

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Problems, recalls and evidence

Known - and not known.

Official charge claim is 30–80% in 15 minutes, not a comparable 10–80% time
Maximum AC charging rate is not clearly published
Touchscreen-heavy cabin
Exact Australian battery-capacity warranty threshold is unknown

Long-term faults and parts waiting timesinsufficient data

Affected vehicles: Australian-delivered vehicles; exact variant and model-year coverage is not established
Severity: information
Australian relevance: Insufficient verified Australian data
Status: No model-level conclusion drawn
Owner action: Check the VIN with the manufacturer and the Australian Government recalls database before purchase
Last verified: 2026-09-02

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
