2015 Mazda Mazda6

The 2015 Mazda6 is equipped with the SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter gasoline engine. This award-winning midsize sedan remains mostly a carry-over model for 2015 with minor updates to select features and packaging options.

Redesigned just last year, Mazda6 received an increasingly warm reception, being named "Car of the Year" by Popular Mechanics and a "10 Best" by Car and Driver.

The 2015 Mazda6 has a plethora of Mazda-engineered technologies and features wrapped into a stare-worthy design. SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY is now joined by the capacitor-based regenerative engine braking i-ELOOP system and safety-focused i-ACTIVSENSE.

And its strong sweeping character lines courtesy of the "Soul of Motion" design language continue to turn heads. Mazda6 is available in three trim levels -- Sport, Touring and Grand Touring.

The SKYACTIV-G 2.5L is robust, producing 184 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 185 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm. Both the SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual and SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic transmission are available for pairing.

For those who enjoy moving the gears themselves, the entry-level Sport comes equipped with the manual transmission as well as a bounty of standard features, some of which are considered premium add-ons amongst competitors. These amenities include push-button start, a tilt-and-telescopic adjustable steering column, and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. New standard equipment for 2015 is the addition of power windows with a one-touch up/down operation for all windows and illuminated power window switches on all doors.

The 2015 Mazda6 is available in two interior choices (Black and Sand/Almond). Exterior colors are Soul Red, Blue Reflex, Meteor Gray, Jet Black, Snowflake White Pearl, Liquid Silver and, new for 2015, Deep Crystal Blue.
