2013 Mazda 6 revealed
Following some teaser shots that were released back in July, Mazda has unveiled its new 6 saloon at the Moscow Motor Show.
It’s a model that has a history of looking just that bit sleeker than its competitors, and the tradition seems set to continue with the latest generation, which follows Mazda’s Kodo ‘Soul of Motion’ design language.
However, the finished article isn’t too much of a surprise because, as expected, it’s essentially a production version of last year’s Takeri concept.
For the Russian market 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre petrol engines will be offered, although it’s expected that an all-new 2.2 litre diesel motor will account for the majority of sales in the UK.
Fuel saving measures feature heavily and, as well as the ‘i-stop’ stop-start facility, the 6 will see the debut of Mazda’s innovative ‘i-Eloop’ brake energy regeneration technology. Unlike similar systems from other manufacturers that only begin working when the brake pedal is pressed, ‘i-Eloop’ begins charging a capacitor as soon as the driver lifts off the accelerator.
Sales of the new 2013 Mazda 6 are due to begin at the end of this year.
