The Big Mazda6 surpasses the range of the Japanese brand and has always been good-looking to drive, well-equipped, well equipped and also a slightly alternative choice.
Originally introduced in 2013 and available as a sports limousine or cave tourer, it competes with people like Skoda Superb, Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat.
Well, now Mazda has decided to give his British flagship a center of life to keep it on the front of the pack.
The most obvious change is the revised front end, which now contains a bold new grille that is not unlike the SUV siblings, the CX-5. It goes deeper than before in integrated LED headlights – there is also a redesigned bumper and aerial recording. The result is unmistakable and gives the Mazda6 a more aggressive attitude and larger street presence.
There are more subtle optimizations in the rear with a converted boot lid, a bumper and more body -colored areas as well as new light metal wheel designs and a striking Soul Red Metallic Lack option.
Mazda’s noble used new materials such as real Japanese Senholz trim and brown nappa leather and suede to underline the premium feeling of the cabin.
Other design optimizations, such as the air loop in the door cladding, have helped to create a feeling of width in a cockpit that always felt spacious.
In the center console there is a new 8.0-inch infotainment screen, but a 7.0-inch information screen in the Binnacle instrument.
The welcome change is the introduction of a new head-up display that outputs the flip-up-upspex mini screen and is now projecting directly onto the windshield.
Apparently seating comfort has also been improved, and there is a new flagship -GT sports nav+ trim.
The great news is the addition of a new 2.5-liter petrol engine that paired the cylinder deactivation (a technology that closes part of the engine, if not necessary to increase the economy).
This 191 -PS engine is able to deliver 42.2 MPG fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of 153 g/km. It is also quick with an 8.1-second time of 0-62 miles per hour and a top speed of 138 miles per hour.
Further improvements are an increase in standard active safety equipment in the area of the standard range. All models now have a blind spot monitoring with rear traffic warning, active cruise control, lane -keep assist and autonomous emergency braking (AEB).
The Mazda 6 area starts at 23,195 GBP for the SE-L NAV.
And it is the new 2.5-liter petrol engine in GT Sport NAV+, which I tested-over the street price £ 30,795.
It feels smooth and powerful when the figures suggest. Push it into sports mode and it is even more effective.
Also no complaints about the six-speed automatic transmission, but it is a shame that there is no stick-shift option-Maz the manual boxing are some of the chic in business.
However, the refinement of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in the inner cabin was not quite as impressive and it was more loud than I expected when accelerating. That means it sat down well when it was on A-Roads and motorways-more natural habitat of the Mazda6.
Mazda also made changes to suspension. I can’t say that I noticed too much difference, especially because it was always a Star performer when it comes to driving and handling.
It offers real driver engagement, it is planted and a pleasure to drive. Whether I would pay for the larger engine is a different matter, because the 2.0-liter petrol engines and 2.2-liter diesel meals are so good units.
Verdict: The revised Mazda6 is better than ever. It’s nice, practical, well -equipped, firmly built and great to drive, it is still one of the best cars in its class. Just take your time to analyze the equipment variants and test the various engines to find out, which is best suited for you.
