MAZDA6: It continues to evolve into an unassuming leader.
Talented Mazda6 in soft-shoe shuffle onto market By DEREK OGDEN Kodo ‘Soul of Motion’ design language and a combination of driving pleasure and environmental excellence via the company’s innovative SkyActiv technology. The latter is led by uprated vehicle dynamics; a series of new vehicle motion control technologies, providing integrated control of the engine, transmission, chassis and body to enhance the connection between car and driver. First up is G-Vectoring Control, which varies engine torque in response to steering input, in order to enhance the
vertical load on each wheel. Mazda maintains this brings the movement of the car more in line with the driver’s intentions, reducing the need for steering corrections, including many that are made unconsciously. This reduces occupant sway and makes for a more comfortable ride. GVC also improves handling and stability on wet or unsealed roads. Further enhancements include sound frequency technology reducing diesel engine noise, NVH improvements cutting cabin noise and i-ActivSense being expanded to include pedestrian detection included in the Smart City Brake Support system
Uprated Mazda6 is available as a sedan or station wagon, in Sport, Touring, GT and Atenza variants, with petrol or diesel power and a six-speed automatic transmission. Prices have not changed from the previous model. The entry-level Sport petrol starts the ball rolling at $32,490, the Touring diesel is $40,140, while the top-dog Atenza leads the pack at $48,240 for the petrol and $49,540 the diesel, all plus on-road costs. Exterior changes are limited to redesigned door mirrors, power folding from Touring variant upwards.
