The Mazda6 was the first model of the Japanese automaker to be given an appearance in the spirit of the Kodo design language . The "Six" thus immediately became one of the most attractive models in the middle class segment. Not even the upcoming facelift, which played with the external lines decently, will change anything.
The main design change can be characterized as a slight redesign of the radiator grille and new graphics of the front and rear lights, equipped of course with LEDs. The classic antenna was replaced by a shark fin . Two-tone 19 " wheels were added to the range of alloy wheels, the palette of body colors was expanded to include Sonic Silver metallic shade and Titanium Flash Mica shade.
Far more changes will reveal a look at the interior, which received a "free-standing" seven-inch display of the Mazda Connect multimedia system , modeled after the MX-5, Mazda2 and the small SUV CX-3. Hand in hand with this change is the redesign of the center console, which received new buttons and ventilation outlets. The classic parking brake rang, replaced by its electric sister . The modernization also affected the quality and fit of the material, namely higher quality and in the leather version also newly colored upholstery of the seats . As part of the additional equipment, you can get, for example, heating of the rear seats.
In the engine compartment, Americans will still only find a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv-G with a power of 186 hp and a torque of 250 Nm, equipped with a stop-start system and i-Eloop brake energy recovery. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Much more interesting is the use of new safety assistants, led by driver fatigue detection , blind spot monitoring and monitoring of traffic behind the vehicle. Compared to its predecessor, new damping materials have been added, so driving in the Mazda6 will be about 10% quieter in the case of classic roads and 25% quieter in the case of the highway.
