Mazda says Australian customers are not requesting an electric MX-5, with existing owners preferring an analogue successor to the sports car. However, the company acknowledges that an electric MX-5 could attract new buyers to the brand.

Meanwhile, Mazda has forecast strong sales for its electric CX-6e, a battery-powered alternative to the CX-5 SUV. The company predicts the vehicle could sell around 1,000 units a month in Australia, which would place it among the country's most popular electric vehicles.
