The midsize-sedan market is so crowded with good options, any vehicle wanting to make a splash had better be outstanding in looks or technology. The 2014 Mazda 6 debuts with both bases covered.
The fluid lines of the new Mazda 6 set it apart from more conservatively styled cars such as the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. The 2014 Mazda 6 incorporates elements of the manufacturer’s “Kodo — Soul of Motion” design language first expressed in last year’s CX-5.
Although it has the same displacement as the outgoing four-cylinder, the new engine is more fuel-efficient. Mazda claims the current engine offers a higher low- and mid-range torque band and emits lower emissions along with providing better economy. The thirsty V-6 from last year is no longer available.The technology behind it is what Mazda calls Skyactiv.
