The Mazda6 is an affordable mid-size sedan, but that doesn't mean it can't go about its business without any style or fun—and boy, does it have plenty of both. For 2021, Mazda made updates to the trims and options and upped the power for the turbocharged models. Here are some of the great features of the new 2021 Mazda6. more High Performance at An Affordable Cost You know that Mazda continues to stay committed to providing a brilliant, yet driving experience when the Mazda6's base trim is called the Sport model with an MSRP of $24,475.

The Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, Carbon Edition, and Signature trims come with a new turbocharged version of the engine (more on that below). All engines are coupled with a lightning-quick six-speed automatic transmission that's smart, too. The transmission instantly knows when you need to be in the right gear, whether you need more passing power or you just want to cruise efficiently. The suspension is finely tuned and allows for smooth ride quality. Make no mistake about it—the Mazda6 remains the sportiest option compared to its competitors. Options and Improvements for the 2021 Mazda6 All-New Carbon Edition Brand new for 2021, Mazda has added the stylish Carbon Edition trim with an MSRP of $32,950.

With no need to reach for your phone, you can drive with fewer distractions. More Torque for Turbocharged Models Mazda was able to add an extra 10 lb-ft of torque to the 250-horsepower, 2.5L SkyActiv-G Turbo engine-equipped models. This makes for a total of 320 lb-ft of torque—plenty of punch for spirited driving. Luxurious Looks and Features That Rivals Pricier Brands Besides the striking exterior, the Mazda6 impresses with its smartly designed and high-quality interior. The dashboard is beautifully laid out and controls are easy to operate. Starting with the Touring model (MSRP $27,075), leather seats are available in a variety of colors and patterns. Also available is a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror that helps reduce glare from behind. This mirror also comes with HomeLink connectivity, which allows you to program your home's exterior lights, security system, garage door, and gates.

The Mazda 6 is a midsize sedan that truly stands out from the crowd. Sedans are such a common design and the market is full of models from different manufacturers. But Mazda takes this common design to new levels with attention to detail, excited standard features, and a unique style that you can't miss. The 2020 Mazda 6 looks good, really good. Bold lines, smooth and aerodynamic arches, and a sleek front fascia are just the start of this sedan's eye-catching features. Here are the other ways the new 6 is sure to catch some attention. LED Exterior Lighting Even the base Sport trim level comes with LED exterior lighting —other sedans typically reserve LEDs for upper trims. Automatic LED headlights with auto-leveling capability work with sensors that monitor the position of the car on the road and make sure that the lights are always pointed down on the road ahead. This feature adds to your visibility and helps avoid impairing other drivers with lights directly in their eyes as you come over a hill. Additionally, automatic high beams automatically dim when another car is approaching. The taillights and daytime running lights are all LED lights providing more precise and clear visibility. An available adaptive front lighting system tracks the road ahead to keep the lights pointed where you want to go even as you turn corners. more Power-Folding Side Mirrors Body-colored heated side mirrors come with certain trim levels of the 2020 Mazda 6 and add to the smooth look of the exterior. These mirrors feature integrated turn signals and can automatically fold in for an easier fit in tight parking areas. No matter which of the five available colors you choose, every part of the exterior blends perfectly. Chrome-Tipped Exhaust The Mazda 6 comes standard with dual exhaust outlets featuring chrome tips. This exhaust fits perfectly with the available Dynamic Pressure Skyactiv-G 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. With an engine that performs as beautifully as this one, the 6's sleek design doesn't stop at the exterior, it runs deep. Glass Moonroof The Touring, Grand Touring, and Grand Touring Reserve trims all feature a power-sliding moonroof made with tinted glass. With just one touch of a button, the roof opens up allowing fresh air in and providing an open cabin feel. The interior sunshade allows for a closed cabin feel when you want to keep the sun out. Standard Alloy Wheels Depending on the trim you choose, you'll enjoy various wheel sizes and styles. Every 2020 Mazda 6 model comes with aluminum alloy wheels, so no boring steel in this line-up. The Sport trim features 17-inch wheels with a gun metallic finish. Both the Touring and Grand Touring options up the wheel size to 19 inches with the same finish. If you choose the Grand Touring Reserve model, you'll get 19-inch wheels with a brilliant silver finish. Stop by Flood Mazda to see our showroom and lot full of new Mazda models.
