Mazda’s much-anticipated Mazda6 sedan will officially be making its debut in Moscow this week. Despite the rather odd venue for the debut of Mazda’s flagship, we’re nevertheless excited to see the new sedan. Mazda promises will deliver sporty driving dynamics (aka ‘Zoom Zoom’) along with efficiency, all courtesy of SkyActiv technology.
On the outside, the 2014 Mazda6 features the automaker’s Kodo (“Soul of Motion”) design language. Clearly, designers used the 2011 Takeri Concept as their main inspiration. According to chief designer Akira Tamatani, the Mazda6 boasts “wild and dynamic expressions of motion” while displaying a powerful presence.
Although it’s not confirmed which powertrain options will be available in the U.S. market just yet, Russian buyers will get a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G (gas) engine producing 148 horsepower. Power will be routed to the front wheels via a a six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic, or a six-speed Skyactiv-MT manual gearbox. Buyers can also opt for the Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter unit which is good for 189 horsepower. The later will only be mated with the aforementioned automatic transmission. A diesel unit is also likely to become available after launch.
“In developing the 3rd generation Mazda6, we pursued Mazda’s intrinsic value, ‘driving pleasure’,” says Hiroshi Kajiyama, the new Mazda6 program manager. “We wanted to create a car that reacts and behaves exactly as you expect it to. Part of this involved carefully crafting those parts of the car which you often touch to feel as though they are an extension of your own body.”
The new Mazad6 will also feature Mazda’s new “i-Eloop” system; a regenerative breaking. When combined with “i-stop”, stop/start technology and the sedan’s fuel efficient SkyActiv powertrains, you have a vehicle that promises to deliver excellent fuel economy. Unfortunately, official EPA fuel economy estimates have yet to be announced.
Although real-world fuel economy is assured, the new Mazda6 is also designed to be a driver’s car; offering a level of performance and fun that’s become a staple throughout Mazda’s lineup.
“Mazda’s superb engineering and craftsmanship have realized a car that handles so well it seems to respond directly to the driver’s intentions rather than the physical manipulations of steering, braking and accelerating,” adds Kajiyama. “The new Mazda6 offers the “joy of driving” that people have come to expect from Mazda, but the experience starts even before you get behind the wheel and lingers long after the drive is over. I can’t wait to see the look on the faces of people getting out of the car after their first time behind the wheel of the new Mazda6.”
