Montréal, QC - All-new to Mazda and being shown for the first time in Canada at the 2013 Montréal International Auto Show, the 2014 Mazda6 is the all-new flagship sedan that showcases the full suite of SKYACTIV Technology with a new SKYACTIV-G 2.5L I4 engine. Along with the new engine, the 2014 Mazda6 will also be the first vehicle to use i-ELOOP, Mazda’s capacitor-based brake energy regeneration system, and i-ACTIVSENSE safety technology. i-ACTIVSENSE is a series of Mazda’s new advanced safety technologies designed to aid the driver in recognizing hazards, avoiding collisions and reducing the severity of accidents when they cannot be avoided.

Strongly influenced by the TAKERI Concept, the Mazda6 is the next vehicle to receive the KODO – Soul of Motion design language after the CX-5 and CX-9. The new Mazda6 will be available with a choice of SKYACTIV transmissions in either the SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic or SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual, connected to the new 13:1 high-compression ratio SKYACTIV-G 2.5-litre gasoline engine. The SKYACTIV-G 2.5L produces 184 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 185 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm. 

Fuel economy for the 2014 Mazda6 is among the best in its class, at 5.1 litres per 100 kilometers (L/100km) on the highway, and 7.6 L/100km in the city when paired with the optional 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission.  Fuel economy for the standard 6-speed manual transmission is 5.3 / 8.1 L/100km (hwy/city).

When the 2014 Mazda6 goes on sale in January, it will have a starting MSRP of $24,495. The Mazda6 will have more standard equipment than the outgoing sedan, and will be available with performance-inspired, design-engineered amenities, such as aggressively styled large-size alloy wheels, expressive LED lights, supportively bolstered seats and high quality interior materials as well as premium technology offerings in a TomTom-based in-dash navigation system, Bose premium audio, and Bluetooth phone/audio connectivity, to name a few.
