Since the Mazda brand announced that it would stop the launch of new models for two years, only to develop models based on the rear-drive platform, the official also revealed that the new Mazda 6 will be built on the platform.
Based on this, the new car map of the new Mazda 6 has recently ushered in the exposure, although the map is not officially released, but it may be speculated that the new car is not far from the launch time, considering that the new model based on the Mazda rear-drive platform - CX-60 has been released a few days ago.
As can be seen from the new car diagram exposed this time, the new Mazda 6 not only maintains the design elements of the current Mazda 6 prototype car, but also integrates the design language of the new Mazda CX-60.
Specifically, the new car uses the new CX-60 light cluster, mid-net and front bar design to make the front of the car more sleek, not as square as the CX-60, after all, the latter as an SUV model.
On the side of the body, the slender body body added the same fender design of the CX-60, and the slightly raised design at the rear fender also makes the model quite sporty. Through the comparison, it can be seen that this is based on Mazda's earlier concept car design.
According to foreign media news, the length of the new generation Mazda 6 is expected to be around 4900 mm, which is to position medium and large cars.
In terms of the rear, the new car also continues the design of the Mazda 6 concept car, with a slender taillight group and a flat body posture, which has a very coupe feeling.
In fact, this exposure also has a travel version of the new car map, even if it is not an official trailer, but also reflects that Mazda's design from many years ago is still avant-garde today. It is reported that the Mazda concept car VISION COUPE debuted at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.
Referring to the interior of the Mazda CX-60 that has been released so far, it is expected that the new Mazda 6 will also continue the minimalist interior style.
Although the new car does not adopt the mainstream large-screen design, it can also be seen from the CX-60 that the official has enriched the needs of consumers by further improving the interior configuration.
As for the power, you can also refer to the launched CX-60, the new car adopts Mazda's newly developed longitudinal rear-drive platform, which has a 3.0L inline six-cylinder compression-ignition engine, a 3.0T turbo diesel six-cylinder engine + 48-volt mild hybrid system, and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated starter + motor insertion system.
Although the power parameters have not been announced, it is reported that the comprehensive data of the 2.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine + motor plug-in hybrid system will exceed 221 kW (300 hp).
According to Mazda's announced positioning of the brand's high-end, it means that the competitors of the new Mazda 6 will also rise to more luxury models, and achieve "dimensionality reduction" luxury mid-size sedans through the advantages of size.
BMW 3 Series
Guidance price: 29.39-39.89 million yuan
Cadillac CT5
Guidance price: 27.97-34.17 million yuan
Lincoln Z
Guidance price: 25.28-34.08 million yuan
Perhaps the arrival of the new Mazda 6 will trigger more consumers to love, not only because the new car has a cooler shape, a six-cylinder engine or a rear-drive platform, and the increase in size, etc., all in line with consumers' expectations for new cars, but under the improvement of many configurations, the price of new cars will naturally "rise".
This also undoubtedly shows that focusing on technical development, although it reflects the craftsman spirit of qualified car companies, but there is no realization of sales, which will inevitably pass on high research and development costs to consumers, thus making a "vicious circle".
