For Mazda fans, the launch of the rear-drive CX-60 has seen the dawn, and many people have begun to look forward to a new generation of Mazda 6, after all, the driving control of the sedan is significantly better than that of the SUV.
However, recently, the statement of Joachim Kunz, head of engineering and development in Mazda Europe, has made the hearts of many fans fall into the ice cellar.
He said, "While the idea of creating a front-six-cylinder rear-wheel-drive sports coupe as a successor to the Mazda 6 is a beautiful idea, for Mazda at the moment, the focus is on the SUV model. ”
That is to say, the new Mazda 6, which was originally scheduled to be released in the first half of this year, will be shelved, and whether it can still be mass-produced may depend on the feedback of the SUV market before making a decision.
Furthermore, if the market feedback of the new Mazda CX-60 is average and does not meet expectations, then the rear-drive Mazda 6 may still be stillborn.
According to previous reports, Mazda said it will readjust its brand positioning and gradually move closer to luxury brands.
To realize this vision, the killer is the upcoming launch of a rear-drive RWD model equipped with a rotor engine and an inline six-cylinder engine and hybrid technology, of which the new generation of Mazda 6 based on the Mazda VISION COUPE concept car is most anticipated by netizens.
