Mazda Mazda6

Price $24,145 – $37,590
Fuel consumption 6.5 – 11.9 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 85%(view ratings)
There isn’t much future left for the Mazda6 as we know it, as a complete overhaul based on the Shinari concept car is planned for next year. In the meantime, the 2012 model comes only as a sedan. The GS and GT trims come with a 4-cylinder engine, while the GS V6 and GT V6 get – you guessed it – a more powerful V6. On the 6-cylinder versions, the only transmission available is a 6-speed automatic.

Pre-owned vehiclesMazda's Crystal Red Paint Under Fire
Mazda has been trying to address its rust problems for over a decade, but the automaker's reputation in this regard has suffered a great deal and many buyers are reluctant to buy Mazda vehicles because of that. If you're concerned about a used Mazda's body health, rest assured that you …
Test Drives2021 Mazda6: Stealthy and Explosive
The Mazda6 sold just 1,049 units in Canada last year. We’re not saying that to blame the COVID-19 pandemic once again, but rather to highlight the fact it ranked second-to-last among all midsize sedans, just ahead of the Kia K5 that replaced the Optima late in 2020. Despite increased momentum …
First Drives2018 Mazda6: New and More Upscale

Test Drives2017 Mazda6: Are Sedans a Dying Breed?
Canadians are buying fewer sedans and more SUVs and crossovers. When they do buy sedans, they choose compact cars like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla or Mazda3. The best-selling midsize sedan in 2017 was the Toyota Camry which sold 14,574 units (a 7.1% drop) and didn’t even crack the top …
Comparative TestsMidsize Sedan Comparison Test: Camry, Sonata, Accord and Mazda6
It’s an immensely popular segment in North America—especially in the U.S.—but sales have been slowing down significantly in the past couple of years. Midsize sedans are being traded in for sport-utility vehicles which are considered more practical. But not necessarily so. After all, a midsize sedan offers plenty of room …
Test Drives2017 Mazda6: It's Time for a Change
The 2017 Mazda6 you see here has everything going against it to be a sales success. First, it’s a sedan, a breed of cars that’s taking a solid hit to the SUV onslaught we’ve been seeing in recent years. Second, it’s red, not the most popular colour—people only seem to …
Test Drives2016 Mazda6: Love The Drive, Sweating The (High-Tech) Details
Family cars don't have to be fun to drive, but they should be, shouldn't they? The idea of rewarding shoppers for nixing the dulled-down dynamics of an SUV sits well with me, but alas, functionality and appliance-like reliability are more endearing catchwords to those shopping for a daily commuter. Fortunately, …

NewsWill a Six-cylinder, RWD-equipped Mazda6 be More Popular?
As you know, midsize sedans are losing quite a bit of appeal these days, yet Asian and European automakers have no plan to abandon them like their American counterparts. For a while, we feared that Mazda would drop its entry. With just 1,402 units sold in Canada last year—down 39 …

NewsDiesel Mazda6: Still In The Cards, But…
As soon as we heard about Mazda’s plan to launch a diesel-powered Mazda6, we were ecstatic: the midsize sedan is already dominating its segment, so a hyper-frugal version would cement its position at the top of the food chain. The original release was planned for 2013. We are now in …
