The Mazda 6 is a low fuel consumption car with a 148bhp diesel engine, which makes it strong, flexible, and easy to handle on all types of roads. The car comes with two engines, both in varying states of tune. The 2.0-liter petrol comes with either 143bhp or 163bhp. Both models come with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. Even the lower-powered engine is available with a heavy-duty, six-speed automatic.

Speed and Flexibility: A Winning
Combination
The 2.2-liter diesel is a clear winner, as it is available with
148bhp or 173bhp. Speed and flexibility remain the
hallmarks of the Mazda 6 as with most Mazda models.
3. The Mazda Exteriors
The exterior detailing of the new Mazda is as impressive as
ever. Whether it is the new corporate-look grille or the
refined and masculine front end, the muscular-looking front
fender lines, the arched roofline, or the smooth refined tail
and rear lights - they all make the car look sleek and stylish.
The proportions are picture perfect and give the Mazda 6 a
visual balance that is tough to find in other similar cars.
The manufacturers have moved back the windshield pillar
slightly and have also added to the distance between the
front axle and the pillar. This has helped in delivering better
performance through enhanced balance. The rear pillars also
add significantly to the visibility. The decision to move the
side mirrors further back slightly along the doors has made
things easier for the driver.
4. The Friendly, Long-Distance Seats
The seats in the Mazda 6 are truly exclusive and look great
while adding to the stylish interiors. The well-designed sport
seats provide a little more side support than is expected in a
mid-size sedan. The company offers this facility even in the
base sport level model. The improved thigh support is a
welcome change and preferred by those who use the car for
long distance drives.
The Mazda 6 impresses with its abundant trunk space. The
model has a wide load opening, while the split-folding rear
seatbacks fold forward, allowing passengers more space.
5. The Mazda 6 Models
The 2014 Mazda 6 is available in three impressive models Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. Sport and Touring models
come with automatic or manual transmissions, whereas the
Grand Touring is exclusively automatic. The model also
features rich leather upholstery, heated front seats, a
memory driver's seat, and power passenger seat. There are
exclusive fog lamps, steering wheel paddle-shifters, and a
satellite radio apart from a power moon roof, bi-xenon
headlamps, LED running lamps, and adaptive front lighting.
6. Great Fuel Efficiency
The Mazda 6 is fuel efficient and is powered by a four-cylinder
gasoline engine. It includes cutting-edge technologies, such as
direct injection, variable valve control, and a very high
compression ratio. The engine delivers excellent mileage in
the range of three to five miles per gallon, which is decidedly
better than other vehicles that have comparable EPA ratings.
It performs much better on the roads than the 2-0 liter Mazda
3 version.
7. Like many cars in its class, the Mazda 6 now does better
with the automatic than with the manual in both, test as
well as in practical driving conditions. That is because the
automatic is extremely efficient in quickly bringing engine
revolutions down when you don’t need them. Although, it
does not get class safety ratings from the
authorities, experts are of the opinion that the Mazda 6 is
one of the better picks in this category when it comes to
safety and reliability factors.
