Geneva debut for Mazda6 facelift

A new facelift version of the Mazda6 will make its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The model will see the debut of the new Mazda ‘family face’, along with new headlamps and rear lights, for a more sporty appearance and a clearer, premium identity.

Six power units will be available for the Mazda6 facelift, including a new 2.0 litre DISI petrol engine that uses less fuel and produces fewer emissions than the 2.0 litre engine it replaces. Updated versions of the 1.8 and 2.5 litre engines complete the petrol line-up.

The 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine will be available in three power derivatives – from 129 to 180 PS – all featuring improved fuel-efficiency and lower carbon dioxide emissions.

The Mazda6 facelift also features new chassis settings and several new active safety features – including a new pivoting adaptive front lighting system and hill-launch assist.

Upgraded versions of the new Mazda6 facelift will go on sale in Europe this spring.
