Published on October 2, 2012 in Galleries by Denis Duquet
The Mazda6 is the first sedan to include SKYACTIV technology and the Kodo design language.
The rear of the sedan is strongly suggestive of sports car design cues.
The trunk of the Mazda6 is raised in order to improve aerodynamics.
The world premier of the Mazda6 wagon.
The wagon's front fascia is a dead ringer for the sedan.
The vehicle's grille serves as the anchor point for the rest of its styling cues.
It's impossible not to notice the extreme angle of the windshield, and that the side mirrors are attached to the door skin.
The wheels are an excellent match for the vehicle's design, and are shod with optional 19-inch tires.
The sophisticated headlights are capable of turning with the steering wheel to illuminate the road ahead.
The Mazda badge is well integrated with the grille.
The fog lights are set into the farthest reaches of the front bumper.
The bright red paint is one of three new colours available with the 2013 Mazda Mazda6.
The rear seats offer plenty of room for two adults.
The dashboard is ergonomic without being over-wrought.
Buttons and switchgear are classy in appearance and functionality.
Like the competition, the steering wheel offers plenty of buttons.
The mirror controls fall easily to hand.
Mazda's resistance to the electric e-brake trend gives the sedan a sportier feel in the eyes of certain buyers.
This rotary controller interacts with the vehicle's LED information screen.
The 192 horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is a good match for the sedan.
The fenders nicely define the Mazda6's lines.
The side mirrors are anchored on the sedan's strong character line.
The front fenders are somewhat detached from the rear of the car, from a style perspective.
There's no way to mistake the front end of the Mazda6 for that of any other model.
