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.
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. Both the Sport and Touring models come with the responsive 2.5L SkyActiv-G engine that puts out 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. 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. This slick-looking package has a Polymetal Grey exterior paint while the interior sports red leather seating with black accents and grey stitching. The Carbon Edition also comes with 19″ wheels and a black rear lip spoiler and mirrors.
Standard Smartphone Connectivity for All Trim Levels
All models of the new Mazda6 now come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. These nifty systems allow you to do things like access your music playlist, navigate by GPS and check messages/make hands-free calls by using the car’s steering wheel and dashboard controls. 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.
Award-Winning Safety
The Mazda6 comes with safety features that have won the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick Plus award. The Smart City Brake Support system helps avoid colliding with cars and pedestrians at lower speeds by applying proper brake pressure if the driver fails to do so and automatically reduces engine power. I-ACTIVSENSE is another option that detects lane-departures, monitors blind spots, helps maintain safe following distances, and even adjusts your high and low beam headlights automatically.
If you want an economical and practical, yet fun-to-drive mid-size sedan, the Mazda6 is at the top of its class. Check out the 2021 model at Flood Mazda!
