The Mazda6 is reborn.
Every aspect of the stunning all-new Mazda6 has been designed and developed with a clear and ambitious goal in mind: to enable drivers to fully experience the Japanese concept of ‘kizuna’.
This is the feeling that comes when performance, comfort, confidence, style and desirability all combine perfectly, creating a deep affinity between driver and car.
So how does the all-new Mazda6 achieve it?
Firstly, through a stimulating and sporty driving experience, that ensures you feel at one with the car. Secondly, with the feeling of exclusivity that comes from quality materials and superior craftsmanship. Finally, the high level of specification and comfort that makes driving the car an utter pleasure, every single day.
The evolution of the Mazda6 also brings environmental and safety benefits. High fuel efficiency and low emissions are accompanied by major advances in both active safety and passive safety.
In all, the new, enhanced Mazda6 is the car for those who have an unashamed passion for driving. You don’t need to follow the crowd. Create your own road with the all-new Mazda6.
Bold and exquisite
Elegant, with the feel of a ‘premium’ car. Sporty styling that turns heads. And a look that declares superb driving dynamics. The Mazda6 is a car to inspire passion and pride.
Even as you take the driver’s seat you feel the car come to life, as the ‘welcome mode’ sequentially lights up the instrument and audio displays.
Its bold, dynamic design continues Mazda’s sports car heritage – then adds its own distinctive themes. Like the stylish ellipsoid shapes and complex high tech interior design of the headlamp clusters.
The smooth and sleek side profile sports a curved roof and prominent wheel arches, producing Mazda’s unique signature feel. The rear C pillar shows a sideways ‘V’ design, enhancing the sense of speed.
The front aspect includes a superb evolution of Mazda’s signature five point grille and there is a wide front air intake for a sports car feel, with smaller air scoops at the sides to promote a solid, aggressive yet elegant look.
A powerful evolution
The all-new Mazda6 displays a sporty, handsome, clearly defined sloping roof line that is an obvious advancement from the first generation. Not least in the sculpted rear-end that blends seamlessly with the overall visual tone.
Enhancing the compact-looking, arch-shape cabin are the vertically aligned fog lamps, air intakes on the front skirt and exquisitely designed lights.
More than simply a fine-tuning, the all-new Mazda6 sedan represents a completely fresh outlook.
Sophisticated interior
Inside the new Mazda6, you will instantly appreciate the enhanced sportiness, refinement and level of specification.
The soft-looking, curved dashboard and the hard, metallic-looking control panel are among the items that create an attractive contrast between lightness and precision. The meters combine an attractive appearance with outstanding functionality. Indirect blue illumination in the dials creates a striking effect.
In the door trim, deep, crisply shaped grooves in richly curved surfaces highlight the softness of the pads. Also, the decorative surfaces of the door grips have a refinement that gives a sense of quality. Sharp lines punctuate their rich curves.
It is a car to relish being inside.
Refreshing colour
Express and enjoy your own refined and individual style. Select your preferences from a choice of seven body colours – including the brand-new Lilac Silver Metallic.
Hot wheels
The wheels of the Mazda6 are stylish and substantial, perfectly in keeping with the car’s dynamic personality.
There are three alloy-wheel sizes: 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch. The 17-inch wheels are an appealing combination of sportiness and sophistication. In contrast, the 18-inch wheels have boldly shaped, sleek looking spokes and large cooling openings to symbolise high performance. The lighter 16-inch wheels have spokes that widen as they meet the rims, to enhance their size.
Even more of a driver’s car
Exciting, involving, rewarding – key attributes of any Mazda. Now perfectly embodied in the all-new Mazda6.
It is even more of a driver’s car than its predecessor – something you will feel immediately as you settle into the cockpit. Every aspect of your driving enjoyment has been carefully considered.
Particular emphasis has been put on refining even further the uniquely linear, precise handling of the earlier Mazda6. So that you can feel at one with the car like never before.
New suspension delivers exceptional handling performance while assuring suppleness for a more comfortable drive. The feeling of stability, confidence and quietness will delight you.
The exceptionally light, rigid body promotes a more enjoyable and fun drive, as well as having a positive effect on fuel economy. The latter is also helped by the superior aerodynamic performance, which helps to realise arrow-straight high-speed stability.
The braking system has also been improved and stopping distances from 62mph are among the shortest in the class. ABS is standard. The extra reassurance and control only increases your driving enjoyment.
You have the power
Choose the high, mid-range or lower power engine that suits.
A new MZR 2.5-litre petrol engine delivers a sportier, more powerful drive. It has a maximum output of 170PS and optimal torque at low and mid-range speeds.
Even with the larger displacement, the MZR 2.5-litre engine exhibits best-in-class quietness. It also offers superb fuel economy in typical driving conditions within the same compact external dimensions and low weight.
With the first direct catalyst system in its segment, it combines low cost with low exhaust emissions.
The MZR 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine has a Sequential-Valve Timing (S-VT) system, a Variable Induction System (VIS), an electronically controlled throttle and dual silencers.
The MZR 1.8-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine also has a VIS, which enables it to deliver high torque at all speeds. Superior environmental performance comes from the electronically controlled throttle, which promotes fuel economy, along with a single silencer, which limits exhaust emissions while promoting power across a wide rev range.
An innovative package
The all-new Mazda6 offers even more room than its predecessor. The cabin has a compact, sporty look that belies the spaciousness essential for everyday practicality.
Styling and storage are usually conflicting considerations. In designing the new Mazda6, a solution was found that combines a capacious, easy-to-use luggage area together with a neat and athletic form.
Similarly clever headliner design delivers plenty of headroom as well as superior visibility forwards and upwards. Unobstructed rearward visibility makes reverse parking more straightforward.
There are plenty of smart stowage places for smaller items, including a large glove box, a double-bottom stowage box in the front centre console and built-in cup holders front and back.
All-round confidence
The new Mazda6’s extensive range of safety and security features enable you to enjoy your driving experience. Key technologies include Bi-Xenon headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS) and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
As well as you and your passengers, other road users and pedestrians will all appreciate the advances that have been made.
In terms of passive safety, an enhanced body structure and stronger materials offer more peace of mind in the event of an impact, whether from front, rear or side. Additionally, the front seatbelts each have a pre-tensioner and a load limiter for further protection.
Actively safer
A wide range of active safety measures further help to ensure that driving the new Mazda6 comes with full peace of mind.
There is CF-Net (‘Cross-Functional Network’) that enables the functions of the steering-wheel switches and central display to electronically communicate and co-ordinate. For extra safety and convenience, these steering-wheel-mounted controls mean more time can be spent concentrating on driving. Audio, cruise control, climate control and the trip computer are literally at your fingertips.
Bi-Xenon headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS) enhances visibility on twisty roads and in spotting pedestrians and cyclists at junctions. Energy-absorbing structures and materials that reduce the effect of an impact further protect pedestrians.
Plus, to save both time and needless bumps, the optional parking sensor system warns the driver of nearby obstacles.
Meanwhile, the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) both enhances your driving and acts as an active safety feature. To help reduce engine output and prevent skids, it monitors your wheel speeds, steering angles, braking function and yaw rate and applies brake force accordingly to one or more wheels.
While the Mazda6 certainly attracts attention a Thatcham Category 1 alarm system helps ensure that admirers look but don’t touch.
An easy choice
The interior of the new Mazda6 is like a home away from home. The refined environment lets you indulge in pure driving pleasure with complete freedom and ease.
Sound, air and light in the cabin have all been carefully considered, along with seats and trim designed to be welcoming to driver and passengers.
A newly developed seat, with best-in-class driving-position adjustability and a sliding armrest, ensures comfort on long journeys and during high-speed driving. In addition, the steering wheel and gear stick are positioned and angled for smooth, easy operation.
In the rear, passengers have more room to stretch out, with the seat 15mm further back and 20mm more legroom.
Quiet – or loud?
What you listen to in the Mazda6 is entirely up to you. New suppression technologies ensure that it won’t be engine noise: only a pleasantly sporty sound enters the cabin. Conversations can flow smoothly thanks to levels of road noise and wind noise that are among the lowest in the class.
Some of those conversations might be via your Bluetooth-equipped mobile. The hands-free system* uses voice-recognition and a single button on the steering wheel so that you can remain focused on the road.
Or perhaps you prefer some musical accompaniment to your journey. With the optional Bose® Premium Sound System*, driver and passengers all receive high quality sound under all driving conditions and even at low volumes.
Pleasant climate
It’s easier to keep your cool – or turn up the heat – in the new Mazda6. The dual zone climate control air conditioning* offers superb control, allowing you to set separate temperatures for the driver’s and front passenger seats.
