How Mazda Enhanced the 2018 Mazda6


Since its debut in the American market nearly 50 years ago, Mazda has been one of the most popular automakers, thanks in no small part to their fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive vehicles. One of Mazda’s best-selling models is the Mazda6 – a midsize sedan available since 2003. It has consistently received high ratings from industry experts because of its exceptional safety features, fuel efficiency and reliability.

For 2018, Mazda’s design and engineering team wanted to enhance the Mazda6 with features that make for a more comfortable ride. The result is a vehicle that can compete with others in its class at a much lower price. Here are four notable upgrades that make the 2018 Mazda6 a great buy.

Enhanced Ride

The new Mazda6 has a smoother ride and better handling than previous versions. The industry-exclusive G-Vectoring Control in the 2018 Mazda6 offers features that add up to a more comfortable driving experience, such as:
• Redesigned suspension
• Sharper steering response
• Stiffer platform
• Thicker sheet metal

These enhancements make the new Mazda6 more connected and responsive to the driver while also delivering a quiet interior.

Refreshed Interior

Sen wood has been prized in Japanese design for centuries because of its texture and durability. Most commonly used in traditional taiko drums and fine furniture, it is now included in the Mazda6 Signature Trim level. Sen wood along the doors and dashboard seamlessly blends with other top-grade materials to endow the cabin with an undeniable elegance.

The completely redesigned seating in the 2018 Mazda6 further enhances the connection between driver and vehicle. The front seats are wider, more ergonomic and constructed with high-density urethane to absorb vibration and increase support. The new model is available with front seat ventilation as well as heated front and rear seats.

Turbocharged Engine

The new Mazda6 comes with two engine options – both are ideal for drivers seeking optimal performance. The SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in the Sport and Touring models delivers 187 horsepower and an impressive fuel economy of 26/35 mpg city/highway.

For drivers who want an extra boost, the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-turbo four-cylinder engine available in the Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve and Signature trim levels offers 250 horsepower without sacrificing fuel efficiency. With this powertrain, the 2018 Mazda6 can compete with top European brands when it comes to performance and handling.

Upgraded Technology

Safety and technology go hand in hand in the new Mazda6. All models come standard with automated emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, low-speed forward-collision warning and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trim levels also feature lane-keep assist, radar cruise control and parking sensors to help drivers prevent collisions.

Mazda also takes comfort and convenience seriously. All Mazda6 models come with the MAZDA CONNECT™ infotainment system, which allows drivers to use their smartphones to access music, navigation and other apps through the vehicle’s touchscreen. The Signature, Grand Touring Reserve and Grand Touring trim levels also boast the Mazda Navigation System and satellite radio.

Today most car buyers take crumple zones, safety belts, airbags and anti-lock brakes for granted, but overall safety features of a car are still a priority for most people.
