Mazda Philippines has brought in the
much-awaited new Mazda 6 Sedan and Mazda 6 Sports Wagon.
The latest offering brought by
Bermaz Auto Philippines, the official distributor of Mazda in the country, comes in three models: the
2.5-Liter Skyactiv-Gasoline Turbo Sedan, the
2.2-Liter Skyactiv-Diesel Sedan, and the
2.5-liter Skyactiv-Gasoline Sports Wagon.

The Mazda 6 Sedan's powerhouse--the
2.5-liter Skyactiv-Gasoline, engineered with
Dynamic Pressure Turbo technology and mated to a
six-speed automatic transmission--is made to provide a maximum of
228 horsepower on regular unleaded fuel and produce
420Nm of torque at an early 2,000 rpm.
But that power is much controllable with the latest innovation in the
Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics suite.
G-Vectoring Control (GVC) Plus further improves the handling and comfort gains from the original GVC. Additional safety features include a
360-degree camera,
Lane Keep Assist, and
Blind Spot Monitoring with
Rear Cross Traffic Alert that comes standard.

Not only the powertrain is premium, the whole package is, as the new Mazda 6 Turbo has a
redesigned cabin and exterior to match.
The Mazda 6 Sedan Turbo still wears Deep Chestnut-colored Nappa Leather seats, ventilated front seats for both passenger and driver, and the UltraSuede accents along with Japanese Sen Wood trim line the passenger space.
Entertainment system is also on prime, with the
11-speaker Bose Premium sound system, combined with the
latest Mazda Connect that has
integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The new Mazda 6 Sports Wagon, on the other hand, also has a nifty package.
This notable five-door variant also features also the
same specifications similar to its sedan sibling.
It sits on
19-inch wheels and is complemented by the new grille layout.
The Mazda 6 Sports Wagon is fitted with a
Skyactiv-G 2.5 engine with
six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission, making it capable of delivering
187 horses and
252 Nm torque. What makes it more fuel efficient is the
cylinder-deactivation technology, which
shuts off its two outside cylinders in cruising conditions.
Prices for the latest offers are as follows:
- Mazda 6 Turbo and the Mazda 6 Diesel--PHP2.25 million
- Mazda 6 Sports Wagon--PHP1.995 million
