Are you one of the few who cares about what you drive, how it drives and the way it makes you feel?

We’re with you.

Because we believe if it’s not worth driving, it’s not worth building.

“This may be the best all-around sedan.”PopularMechanics.com, April 2010

The sports sedan built by sports-car lovers.
If it’s not worth driving, it’s not worth building. That’s why the Mazda6 was built by car-crazy engineers to perform like a sports car and achieve class-leading aerodynamics. It delivers more V6 torque than Camry or Accord, and it can achieve up to 31 mpg hwy* . It seats five and offers more rear legroom than Accord. Creating astylish, roomy sedan that’s also exciting to drive may not be the easiest thing in the world to pull off, but for Mazda, it’s the only kind of sedan we’d build. And what’s not to love about that?

*EPA-estimated mileage. Actual results may vary. See specifications for details.

Less of a drag than the competition. (Coefficiently speaking.)
Class-leading aerodynamics. Typical sedans are a bitof a drag—literally as well as figuratively. Because our engineers are so obsessive about cars and driving, we subjected the Mazda6 to 360 degrees of wind tunnel testing and figured out how to make it roomy while also achieving a class-leading aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.27. Its refined exterior, from its sculpted outside mirrors to its raked front windshield, is specifically crafted to notjust catch your eye, but set your heart racing as well. With the aerodynamics creating a more stable, quiet ride, you’re more connected to the road, and you’re burning less fuel.

The numbers don’t lie.
Engines. When it comes to engine specs on the Mazda6, the numbers speak for themselves. A powerful 272-hp V6 in Mazda6 s models cranks 269 lb-ft of torque—more power and torque than Accord or Camry—while also delivering up to 27 mpg hwy* Or opt for an even more fuel-efficient 170-hp 2.5-liter engine in . Mazda6 i models, achieving up to 31 mpghwy. Either way, you’ll be thankful for variable valve timing because of its contribution to the Mazda6’s pump-friendly fuel economy and responsive performance. It all adds up to a rush you can’t measure in numbers. Transmissions. Having power is one thing, but how quickly and smoothly it gets to the wheels is another. The Mazda6 gives you responsive performance with every choice of transmission. A6-speed Sport automatic transmission comes standard on Mazda6 s models, and Mazda6 i models (except Sport) get a standard 5-speed Sport automatic transmission. Both automatically adapt to your driving style to optimize shifting and give you power and economy as you need them. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the Mazda6 i Sport, or opt for the available 5-speed Sport automatic. But no...
