You must really like the Camry to bring it up out of nowhere...don’t tease yourself instead treat yourself to the Camry! Much better vehicle than this trust me!
in lot of country Mazda sell its cars as Premium car, and start to become a Premium brand, so is more a competitor of Audi and Volvo (Premium Fwd)...Only blind people can compare this Mazda 6 to an Honda, the design is clearly premium
Premium car must be start from $50K. That's the premium car. Price is everything. So it is not confident yet. Competitor shoud be still Accord or Sonata not Audi.
Honestly a better design than some of the cars that cost two times more. I have no idea why Infiniti or Lexus keep making their cars bulkier and less aggressive in terms of looks.
And they are! I like my 6 but the lexus is better in every way. The 6 is not cheap, used mazdas are not really cheap either and hard to find. Most people have mazda for point a to point b and they do that for 10 years worhout problems then little stuff starts making noise and still working creating a concert of worn parts. At this point people trade them in 180k miles.
I love how, manufacturer's are using the high/long center console.It's very comfortable. This 6 is pretty close to it's last design.I'm a fan for sure.Also I like that the 2.5 T is an option. I'm still looking for a lower price point overall.
Mazda can keep this look with slight alterations forever and id still be attracted to it. The only thing mazda needs to change on the 3 and 6 is how many microns of paint is used. Its not enough, color is gorgeous but fragile.
This Mazda 6 has 250 hp and 310 lb-ft torque. Does the Accord come in SOUL Red Crystal? No? I didn't think so. Mazda is hungry and clearly trying harder. Honda has become complacent and I know, since I've been driving Hondas for the last 25 years.
It isn't based on the old Speed6 whatsoever haha. It's based on the existing Skyactiv-G motor, with a brand new head design and a unique to Mazda turbo flapper system as well. Nothing quite like it has been done. The only similarity is it's an mz6 with a turbo, haha.
As one who’s owned generations 6 through 9 of the Honda Accord and currently owns a TLX, I think the 6 will draw a lot of us Accord buyers who are put off by the 10th generation Accord’s styling.
Pretty much all modern cars have gone away with the fog lights and have replaced them with dual-mode HID that function as both low and high beams via a solenoid that moves the low-beam metal shield down creating brights. Unsure why they all started doing this as I think fog lights are pretty useful.
I bought a new off the floor 6 Carbon Edition in March 2021 and still have it. Mazda discontinued later in August of that year. I was so impressed with my first Mazda that I also went and bought stock in Mazda. Never had any shares before either. The stock price has now doubled 3 years later. It is now Feb 6 2024. I will never get rid of my beautiful Mazda 6 Carbon Edition which I fondly call The Mazdaratti😂
My 2017 6 has a slow pickup. Have a hard time getting to speed while changing to faster lanes on the highway. Switching sport mode frequently is a hassle. Otherwise I love the car. Good to see 2018 coming with more power. Hoping Android Auto/Carplay would be added soon.
lovely front and interior. Unfortunately no manual transmission is available the top trims, or with the top engine, only in the stripper models. Not even in limited numbers...OUCH! The accord may be the only fwd family sedan available with manual in the top engine model, but even it does not allow it in the more luxurious top trims like ex and touring, only sport.
accord is still the well deserved benchmark in the class, even though mazda regularly beats it in comparison tests on the base models, however until now only the accord had a higher power model, not to mention a hybrid. But now Mazda can truly compete, and it will be interesting how the comparisons go. Even without android auto and apple play, I prefer the interior on the mazda, and the front end on the premium model back end. not sure on the side, performance, handling, economy, MVH, etc. yet.
Don't be a dickhead the Mazda 6 has been the benchmark in the medium sedan class for years the honda accord is nowhere near it, The VW passat is the next best in class.
wow you have to lower yourself to personal insults to state your opinion. mazda was indeed the bench mark in handling, interior, sportiness in the base model, even though it was not the fastest, but and here is the big but that the accord is the overall benchmark in the midsize class. sales to consumers not fleets. different body styles, until this year they have had coupe models. different more efficient models in hybrid and plugins. And a higher power V6 model and now a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder model. And as usual that higher power model is available with a choice of manual or 10 speed auto. Choice is what made accord the benchmark along with class leading resale, reliability, dealer network, and service and a great all around package. Mazda, until this year has been limited to one engine, two transmissions, And only the lower models can be had with manual, and that simply cannot compete with the higher power offerings from Honda, ford, chevy, kia, hyundai, Toyota, etc. This year finally they can compete on all levels, except that there is no manual version for the turbo engine and there is no hybrid. I will not lower myself to personal name calling. Hopefully this year Mazda can be the all around benchmar for base and upgraded engines, I hope a manual is coming eventually to the turbo engine model. Have a great day.
Don't argue for god sake! you live in a 3rd world country and don't know anything about cars! the Mazda 6 has been the benchmark and overall best car in it's class for the last 6-8 years.
I'm not arguing, you are. You are totally allowed your opinions, and you make a good case for them, some will agree with you some we not. I will not. We have different opinions and thats how it should be. I will not convince you otherwise and you will not convince me other wise. I actually prefer the base 20017 Mazda 6 to the 2017 accord 4 cylinder. I prefer a good auto to a cvt. But I also prefer hondas 6 speed to mazdas in the sedans. And their coupe and their wide selection of engines. But I also believe the accord has been the benchmark for the last 20+ years because it offers more than one engine and numerous (use to body styles) I guess America is a third world country according to you. And that's ok, it's your opinion, many we agree, some will disagree, it's all good. If you reread my post, you will see how much credit I have given the Mazda 6, but a true benchmark in this class cannot be a true benchmark with only a 186 or so horsepower engine and no option for more. You can get that much power and more in much ,lighter weight mazda 3's, civics, elantras, etc. Thankfully after tons of complaints by reviewers, owners, and others demanding a more powerful engine, we will finally have one, and than and only than can it be considered an overall benchmark for this class, and hopefully that manual and a sporty trim will find their way to the turbo model to challenge the accord for the overall benchmark in the midsize family sedan class. Until Mazda delivers that turbo engine along with the base, they "can never" be considered the overall benchmark, even though the base excells in many areas as compared to the base in other cars. Overall means overall. Mazda base model cannot compare to the other brands more powerful models, and as such cannot be considered the overall benchmark. Take care and God bless you.
Like the minimalist interior on the 6 and new madza's in general but I still give the nod to the accord. It strikes a perfect balance between functionality and design.
its not low res, just does not have the we will track you android auto and apple car play. Mazda chose not to pay the licensing fees to those two companies and you can still do most things without it. And they can add it at anytime, or you can use your phone in a holder, by bluetooth or aux I believe.
Taras Cool I know, still sucks while all Accord comes standard with car play and android auto as well as Honda sensing which uses cameras and radar on even its cheapest models starting at 22.450$ I use WASE with my car play on my jailbroken iPhone X as well as TH-cam on 8 inch high res screen
No, in lot of country Mazda sell its cars as Premium car, and start to become a Premium brand, so is more a competitor of Audi and Volvo (Premium Fwd)...Only blind people can compare this Mazda 6 to an Honda, the design is clearly premium
LOL, idiot, just search Italian or French Automotive Jurnalism TH-cam channels, they say Mazda can compete with premium brand and they do comparison vs Audi Volvo BMW ecc..
Obivously is easier for Mazda set itself Premium in Europe, coz here we consider Europeans Premium brand more Normal, and also are cheaper, for example Audi s prices are very similar to Mazda prices... And tgey also sell the Audi A1 , a small car start from 17.000 euro , similar price to the Mazda 2... American are simply stupid, they overrate European luxury car and infact their prices are higher, btw thank you for the money
Somebody's a little deceitful here; the picture shows the 2018 sitting on the street, and is titled, "takes on Honda", but the video is the same car show intro everyone else has. The car does look great, tho, and I'd love to have one.
Infact in lot of country Mazda sell its cars as Premium car, and start to become a Premium brand, so is more a competitor of Audi and Volvo (Premium Fwd)..
the LED running lights look exactly like Audi's. last year's GT wheels were better looking. last year's GT grill was better looking (and illuminated). last year's springs/suspension were stiffer.. they upped the power which is GOOD. that's about the only 'improvement' i like.. i dont even like the LCD gauges.. analogue is classic!
Mazda just keeps getting better and better than its competitors
Hyumdai and kia
The exterior is the best-looking car in its class, bar none. With the update, I WANT ONE!
Stop snorting...Mazda is wayyyy in back of the line
are you blind ??? the exterior is the best on its class
Mazda saved Japanese design
Flying Zeppelin this is so so much better looking than anything Honda is producing right now.
They're more like Germany looks than Japanese itself
Flying Zeppelin 100% agree.. Mazda has the best japanese cars design right now!
Mazda cant save the rotary engine makes me sad
1+
Beautiful car now with stronger engine, Mazda for the win!!
This car looks much more mature than Camry . Clean and dignified
Tiada Nama you’ve not seen the new Camry.
You must really like the Camry to bring it up out of nowhere...don’t tease yourself instead treat yourself to the Camry! Much better vehicle than this trust me!
I got chills everytime i see Mazda or Subaru... Well those two brands made my childhood happier.
I feel like mazda might slowly become an awesome luxury brand.
Looks much better than Camry or Accord
in lot of country Mazda sell its cars as Premium car, and start to become a Premium brand, so is more a competitor of Audi and Volvo (Premium Fwd)...Only blind people can compare this Mazda 6 to an Honda, the design is clearly premium
lordjohn111 sux compared to either Camary or accord
Francesco Vicenza 👍
Francesco Vicenza other than its new engine its still the same cheap car i didnt buy on 2013.
Premium car must be start from $50K. That's the premium car. Price is everything. So it is not confident yet. Competitor shoud be still Accord or Sonata not Audi.
Looks so good, cant wait to see them on the road. Looks more premium than its direct competition.
Good jobs Mazda:)
Better than accord? Honda used to be my favorite company, their recent cars are changing that and now Mazda absolutely dominates 💪🏻🔥
I love the philosophy of this car brand, it conveys a feeling of freedom in movement for its excellent designs
Gorgeous....I had one of these as a rental too, and the handling was fantastic...now it finally has power to match
Not in the UK unfortunately.
Honestly a better design than some of the cars that cost two times more. I have no idea why Infiniti or Lexus keep making their cars bulkier and less aggressive in terms of looks.
Adam K less aggressive? Have you seen their recent grilles? Those things look like angry vacuum cleaners
And they are! I like my 6 but the lexus is better in every way. The 6 is not cheap, used mazdas are not really cheap either and hard to find. Most people have mazda for point a to point b and they do that for 10 years worhout problems then little stuff starts making noise and still working creating a concert of worn parts. At this point people trade them in 180k miles.
Yeah, because Mazda is not borrowing any of its design cues from Infiniti, right...
thx you was about to say the same thing. looks like a tone down infiniti
Ryan McCuistion 😂
That's the most beautiful mid-size sedan I've seen. Striking!
Mazda's car are beautiful!
Looks premium
I much appreciate only very slight exterior design changes, the current one is just beautiful, love the interior, Mazda is rly good at interiors
I love how, manufacturer's are using the high/long center console.It's very comfortable. This 6 is pretty close to it's last design.I'm a fan for sure.Also I like that the 2.5 T is an option. I'm still looking for a lower price point overall.
Beautifull.
MAZDA design always so amazing
Mazda 6 is manufactured in Japan!
That's why I bought Mazda 6
Fantastic design and too beautiful.congratulations to mazda
I honestly don't think anything will top the Accord/Camry sales wise for a good while but damn! That is one good looking car!
Gorgeous, well done Mazda !
I have a 2007 Mazda 3, best car I have ever owned, I hope to upgrade soon.
i LOVE new mazda interiors
Mazda can keep this look with slight alterations forever and id still be attracted to it. The only thing mazda needs to change on the 3 and 6 is how many microns of paint is used. Its not enough, color is gorgeous but fragile.
I have a 2016 Mazda 6. People say it's sexy. I say it's great. I love this car.
Looks WAY better than the new accord
I can’t wait to see Mazda hybrid. If Mazda makes hybrid cars then everyone will buy Mazda hybrid in London because of its beauty,size and reliability.
AVAILABLE WITH A MANUAL!!!
Excellent car Mazda!
That miss aligned front bumper is killing it for me 4:20
Wie immer Mazda beste Auto Nummer eins 👍👍
Still beautiful & the 2.5t endine option is most welcome
It's still use the gear stick?2018 Accord touring have changed to button gear instead.
That red is gorgeous.
I really like the rear side trunk profile it’s a real trunk very sporty
I feel like I'd buy a Soul Red Mazda even if I was a billionaire! Just love Mazda so much! I think they also have the most beautiful badge/symbol!👏👌🤘
Beautiful car.. im a fan of mazda
Wow! That’s one good looking car.
Now that there's a 2.5 turbo cranking out 250 hp (on premium gas), this will definitely be my next lease.
Lazarus Agrapides look up Honda Accord 2018 with 2.0L and 255hp and 275ft.torque P.S. premium gas is optional
This Mazda 6 has 250 hp and 310 lb-ft torque. Does the Accord come in SOUL Red Crystal? No? I didn't think so. Mazda is hungry and clearly trying harder. Honda has become complacent and I know, since I've been driving Hondas for the last 25 years.
Derek Hood Mazda engines are all Japanese they haven’t shared anything with Ford for a while now.
Lazarus Agrapides my 2.0T makes 250hp this is definitely a very conservative tune
Derek Hood yup. Gotta have more cowbell. 🐄
Looks good. But still waiting for another speed6 :)
It isn't based on the old Speed6 whatsoever haha. It's based on the existing Skyactiv-G motor, with a brand new head design and a unique to Mazda turbo flapper system as well. Nothing quite like it has been done. The only similarity is it's an mz6 with a turbo, haha.
Nathan Ardany Tanara I had a Speed6 and it was 4wd, this is not, as far as I know. And will be At only, no manual shift
Finally more than 184 horsepower!!
Can't wait for mazda to slap some kai design lines on the 3 and 6! Regardless, mazda cars keeps getting better each year.
As one who’s owned generations 6 through 9 of the Honda Accord and currently owns a TLX, I think the 6 will draw a lot of us Accord buyers who are put off by the 10th generation Accord’s styling.
Mazda 6 my dream car
Is there a place in the front bumper for fog lamps?
Pretty much all modern cars have gone away with the fog lights and have replaced them with dual-mode HID that function as both low and high beams via a solenoid that moves the low-beam metal shield down creating brights. Unsure why they all started doing this as I think fog lights are pretty useful.
MAZDA IS THE BEST
Will they add the turbo charged engine to the cx5,cx3?
I bought a new off the floor 6 Carbon Edition in March 2021 and still have it. Mazda discontinued later in August of that year. I was so impressed with my first Mazda that I also went and bought stock in Mazda. Never had any shares before either. The stock price has now doubled 3 years later. It is now Feb 6 2024. I will never get rid of my beautiful Mazda 6 Carbon Edition which I fondly call The Mazdaratti😂
This is definitely my new car
BEAUTIFUL!
Only Mazda models I really liked were models 6.
I don't understand why Mazda management so overfocused on SUV's?
Anyway...RIP Mazda 6.
My 2017 6 has a slow pickup. Have a hard time getting to speed while changing to faster lanes on the highway. Switching sport mode frequently is a hassle. Otherwise I love the car. Good to see 2018 coming with more power. Hoping Android Auto/Carplay would be added soon.
Me encanta este auto, me lo compraré apenas trabaje 🏎🙏🏼
Most beauty car on market.
lovely front and interior.
Unfortunately no manual transmission is available the top trims, or with the top engine, only in the stripper models.
Not even in limited numbers...OUCH!
The accord may be the only fwd family sedan available with manual in the top engine model, but even it does not allow it in the more luxurious top trims like ex and touring, only sport.
As a big Honda fan (and japanese brands as well), this Mazda 6 looks wayyy more better than the new Accord. In every way
Mazda a perfect car.
amazing!!!i love it !!!
Mazda makes beatifull cars. Nicer then most of German companies
I choose mazda 6 over 2017 bmw 320i sport
the interior is much more luxury
the exterior is the best even more cool then bmw
The Mazda 6 is already best in class it does not need to "take on" the honda accord, which is a rubbish car.
accord is still the well deserved benchmark in the class, even though mazda regularly beats it in comparison tests on the base models, however until now only the accord had a higher power model, not to mention a hybrid.
But now Mazda can truly compete, and it will be interesting how the comparisons go.

Beautiful car
Mazda6 gets a new grille and LED headlights with integrated fog lights. That is why you do not see separate fog lights.
When are we getting CarPlay?
Awesome! My only wish is that they kept the previous year's wheels. Or at least something similar in design.
Same Wheels from Mazdaspeed 3?
Just love that Color..WickED!
Like the minimalist interior on the 6 and new madza's in general but I still give the nod to the accord. It strikes a perfect balance between functionality and design.
Which one would win a race a mazda6 GT or Honda Civic Sport touring?
They should sell the euro version in the states. Turbo diesel, manual trans in all trims plus a wagon. It would outsell the competition easily.
와 진짜 이쁘다 마쯔다 브랜드 자체는 그렇게 고급스러운 브랜드는 아니였던걸로 기억하는데
요즘은 렉서스나 아우디보다 고급스러워보이는듯
Mazda is a better car.. Period.
I like the looks of this car. But its a shame to see still the same low resolution screen and no Android auto or Apple carplay and thats 2018 model
its not low res, just does not have the we will track you android auto and apple car play.
Mazda chose not to pay the licensing fees to those two companies and you can still do most things without it.
And they can add it at anytime, or you can use your phone in a holder, by bluetooth or aux I believe.
Taras Cool you're an idiot the 2017 screen was beautiful. All it lacks is that Android auto and I would not use the navigation either. Google Maps!
Taras Cool I know, still sucks while all Accord comes standard with car play and android auto as well as Honda sensing which uses cameras and radar on even its cheapest models starting at 22.450$
I use WASE with my car play on my jailbroken iPhone X as well as TH-cam on 8 inch high res screen
Much better design!
This car has needed the 2.5T for a while now, needs the speed to match it looks cuz its hot
Whats with that gap between bonnet and from bumper..😩
Looks very aggressive n sexy, again ! Well done, Mazda
So 2 refreshes? Are they keeping this body style for 6 yrs?
No, in lot of country Mazda sell its cars as Premium car, and start to become a Premium brand, so is more a competitor of Audi and Volvo (Premium Fwd)...Only blind people can compare this Mazda 6 to an Honda, the design is clearly premium
Francesco Vicenza lol ya u cant honda is reliable and has good resale value.
good luck with depreciation lol
Bold statement from a Mazda fan boy.
LOL, idiot, just search Italian or French Automotive Jurnalism TH-cam channels, they say Mazda can compete with premium brand and they do comparison vs Audi Volvo BMW ecc..
Obivously is easier for Mazda set itself Premium in Europe, coz here we consider Europeans Premium brand more Normal, and also are cheaper, for example Audi s prices are very similar to Mazda prices...

Somebody's a little deceitful here; the picture shows the 2018 sitting on the street, and is titled, "takes on Honda", but the video is the same car show intro everyone else has.
The car does look great, tho, and I'd love to have one.
Very nice upgrade to 2.5t engine, Accord & Camry watch out!
Mazda superb company..,Mazda always superb...
Love the interior design
The interior is way better than Honda or Toyota
Infact in lot of country Mazda sell its cars as Premium car, and start to become a Premium brand, so is more a competitor of Audi and Volvo (Premium Fwd)..
Francesco Vicenza well in america mazda is cheap
accord interior blows this away. Better materials and better tech.
Delfino Mares Yep, but in europe mazda and honda are expensive and are more premium than toyota for example.
in Vietnam Mazda 6 is cheaper and less luxury than Camry
Шикарная красавица!!! Великолепный дизайн!
Fight what!!! The same as before outside nothing have changed!! Just the engine
Looks so much better than accord!
Bry Guy it not even close I was happy for the 2018 Mazda but I’m very very sad to say that this time Mazda didn’t amaze me!
The lines on profile are lacking
Esta nueva cara cuando Llega a Colombia?
i have a mazda 6 2016 i sport (basic) and satisfy my needs very well
I'll take this over the Accord & Camry any day
GODSGIFT2780 Have you checked the new 2018 Camry xse?
Happy Emoji ewww gross!
Stop it! You wish this junk could compete with the Camry and accord
Happy Emoji lol
Honda accord 2018have more horsepower than this wannabe sedan
Looks sharp
I love this car the engine and trans are so strong 💪 and lay it down this car if you don’t know it’s a savior
Song?
the LED running lights look exactly like Audi's. last year's GT wheels were better looking. last year's GT grill was better looking (and illuminated). last year's springs/suspension were stiffer.. they upped the power which is GOOD. that's about the only 'improvement' i like.. i dont even like the LCD gauges.. analogue is classic!
Elegance, beauty!!!!👍
The wheels are a step backwards sadly
Emmett Hudson I like the wheels
Karo French I don’t care
Emmett Hudson if only you could take them off for some other ones.
Sadly that's true...hope there will be other, more pretty wheels in 2018 Mazda 6.
You can always purchase different ones!
Good job Mazda!
I love this car
