It’s been a long while since the Mazda6 was thrust into the spotlight. At two years, perhaps, that too long a time. But this year, it has seen some great changes making it a contender in the executive sedan category. Let’s take a closer look. Father Time has certainly been kind to the Mazda6. While others have aged, the 6 has managed to stay beautiful. In fact, it now sports a slightly revised exterior with new LED lighting elements and revised wheels.

The greatest criticism thrown against the 6 before was that it looked lackluster inside. Now, everything has been reshaped, re-tweaked, and revised. The most noticeable one is the contrasting piece of leather running across the length of the dashboard. The white-colored leather adds a premium price, though you can still go for a black interior with brown accents.

It gets better from there. There are brushed aluminum accents, better cup holders, and more cubby spaces than before. And once you settle, in, you’ll be entertained by the new Mazda Connect system with the Bose speakers.

Just like before, the Mazda6’s line-up isn’t complicated. It makes do with one single engine: a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine putting out 188 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Keen observers note that in terms of output, it can’t hold a candle against the competitors’ V6 offerings. 

Still, it’s fast, reaching 100 km/h in just 7.8 seconds. The secret is the responsiveness of the 6-speed automatic. 

There’s also a new Drive Selector as well.  It’s a little toggle switch just above the electronic parking brake that causing her to hold gears longer and increase the sensitivity of the throttle.

On the road, the Mazda6 remains lovely to drive, but this time, it’s a much quieter experience with up to 25 percent better NVH than before.
