The five-passenger Mazda 6 sedan is available with three trim levels and comes nicely stacked in the base model. Standard outfitting includes: 17” alloy wheels, tilting and telescoping steering wheel, 60/40-split rear seat, Bluetooth integration with HD radio, 7” touchscreen with back-up camera and a six-speaker audio system. Step up to a higher trim level and you can get: 19” wheels, remote entry/start, collision mitigation system, powered driver seat, LED headlamps and tail lamps, premium 11-speaker Bose sound system, heated front seats, powered and heated side mirrors, rear spoiler, leather upholstery and much more. The Mazda 6 is driven by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that’s rated at 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque.
For 2016, the MAZDA6 includes updated designs to the grille, headlights and rear spoiler. Inside, the instrument panel and floor console have been restyled for a fresh look, anchored by a new 7-inch touchscreen display. An electronic parking brake is also new, while new exterior colors include Sonic Silver Metallic and Titanium Flash Mica.
The mid-size sedan segment is as crowded and as competent as it's ever been, so Mazda knew it needed a new MAZDA6 to rule the class. That's exactly what the company has delivered. Exterior styling is eye-catching and evocative, while interiors are spacious, with high-quality soft-touch materials throughout. Power and fuel efficiency place the MAZDA6 near the top of the class, while its base price of just over $22000 means it is less expensive than the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu.
