New Sport Car

Mazda has released the first 2011 Mazda6 facelift images and details and announced that the new version will be premiered at the Geneva auto show in March. As far as the exterior design goes, the 2011 Mazda6 facelift features new headlights and rear light clusters. This new, upgraded version enhances the strengths of its predecessor, retaining its fun-to-drive feeling and excellent fuel efficiency; while improving refinement, cabin ambience, environmental compatibility and safety performance. 

The 2011 Mazda6 facelift also comes with new chassis settings and several new active safety features – like a new pivoting adaptive front lighting system and hill-launch assist – that together make the Mazda6 facelift one of the safest and easiest-to-drive cars in its segment.

The Mazda Mazda 6 design concept is "bold & exquisite." The updated model carries over the solid front face of its predecessor, and retains the beauty, strength and tension conveyed through its simple contours. With enhancements for a stronger expression of dynamism and sportiness, the latest facelifted Mazda 6 expresses a more premium identity.

Six engines will be available, including a powerful new 2.0-litre DISI petrol that uses less fuel and produces fewer emissions than the 2.0-litre engine it replaces. Its five-speed automatic transmission was adapted especially for this new petrol engine to deliver an optimal combination of acceleration and fuel economy.

The 2011 Mazda6 facelift also offers updated versions of the MZR 1.8 and 2.5-litre engines while the MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo diesel unit is offered in three power levels, from 129 to 180 PS, all of them sporty, with improved fuel-efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.
