Solidly capable: 2016 Mazda6 sedan
The 2016 Mazda6 sedan is one of the sexiest beauties to emerge from the brand's KODO design-inspired lineup. Available in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels, the Mazda6 sedan is strongly influenced by the TAKERI Concept, making no excuses for its style, safety and spunk – qualities usually absent in a mid-size sedan. The KODO "Soul of Motion" design language commands and creates every facet of the vehicle's handsome sheet metal, from its alluringly swept elongated hood and cab-forward proportions to the chiseled steel shaping its frame, the Mazda6 suggests power and elegance before the gas pedal is even floored to go.
For 2016, refreshed exterior features include a new front grill and signature wing design. Combined with the new LED headlamps, the result is a bold and elegant expression that leaves a distinct impression. Power for the Mazda6 is generated by the SKYACTIV-G 2.5L four-cylinder gasoline engine. Torque is communicated to the street through the SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic or SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual.
Inside the passenger cabin, upgrades and enhancements include bold changes to the shape of the instrument panel and floor console giving the interior a fresh new look.
