THE NEW<br />

MAZDA6<br />

If there was a spectrum of fun versus<br />

practicality for auto brands, Mazda traditionally<br />

lies somewhere towards the former –<br />

prioritising fun over practicality while still<br />

offering enough of the latter to avoid complete<br />

uncertainty.<br />

The current generation Mazda6 was<br />

launched late 2012, earning high acclaim<br />

worldwide, a 2013 top three finalist for World<br />

Car Design of Year.<br />

Will new Mazda6 carry on that lineage?<br />

It recently had some light revisions that keep<br />

it fresh in facing rivals such as Subaru Liberty,<br />

Toyota Camry, Volkswagen Passat, Ford<br />

Mondeo, Hyundai i40 and Hyundai Sonata.<br />

Fresh styling and addition of an array of new<br />

safety and convenience features should keep<br />

ahead of the pack.
