2014 Mazda6 vs Infiniti M35 Hybrid Technology Mashup Review

- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2014 Mazda6 and the Infiniti M35 Performance Hybrid do not compete for the same buyers. So why mash them up in a technology mashup review. Because the two Japanese sedans take completely different and distinct means to achieve the same goal. Both of these cars get about 30 MPG in combined fuel economy and both strive to be sporty performance sedans. The Mazda6 using Skyactive technology has taken the traditional combustion engine to the next level of development while the Infiniti M sedan uses a hybrid petroleum and electric drivetrain to achieve the same goal. So which one of these two cars is the better performance sedan. You'll have to watch this video to find out.
so many other things that were not mention in this head to head review are some of similar features both these cars have. Both have upgraded the options for a Bose audio system. Both have lane departure warning, adaptive cruise. I've been a fan of both Mazda 6, and Infiniti M cars. Can't go wrong with either choice.
Why compare Mazda 6 to Infiniti M??? Completely different classes. Useless comparison...
That's why it is called a "Mashup review"... That is the whole point...! LOL
the only thing about this review, they should have used the Infiniti Q50 hybrid instead of Infiniti M35 hybrid. the Infiniti Q50 hybrid car is more same size of the Mazda 6 , and fuel economy numbers are about even with the Mazda 6.
I have the Mazda6, bought it, at this writing, 3 weeks ago. Right now, I get 33.4 MPG and have not had any situation where I felt I was underpowered. If you want to take curves at 80, well, get a car really designed to do that. I have taken curves with mine at 55, without any tire squeal. As for doing one at 80, time will tell.
Thanks for the nice comments and thanks for watching!
Why wouldn't Mazda add turbo or something to boost the horsepower to 200 or more? It's incredibly sexy (finest in the segment) and yet not enough horsepower.
I actually like the stock sound of the Mazda6. I saw people saying it was horrible but it sounds much better than most 4 cylinders. It has a deeper growl than most other 4 cylinders.
It is just such a good looking car for a midsize sedan in that price range, it is probably my favorite in the last few years at the very least.
TFL, of course!! You guys rock!!! Love the mix in your work production. The various comparisons. Very refreshing. You certainly have fans here, in New York City.
I have the mazda6 with I-E loop regenerative braking getting 44mpg on highway. The top of the line has a sport mode switch that increases hp not a rocketship by any means but they left that out or didn't know it. I suppose next he will compare it with F150 and explain why it can not haul as much. "Point to Ford."
How long does it take you guys to film a video like this?
10 min 😂
I love these mashups. It gets kinda boring seeing the same ol car comparisons
infiniti..!!
Good video, its important to point out that SPORT model of the Mazda6 can be purchased for under $25,500 (US) after taxes (with good negotiation). This will include: leather seats, dual climate control, beautiful 19 inch wheels, bluetooth audio and a ton of other features. Grand Touring models are much more expensive, but the NAV system in the Mazda's is weak an unimpressive, so you can get a lot more value with the SPORT model if you are a penny pincher like me.
I love that Mazda!
Hi. Nice review as usual.
Your bumper music is very cool. Would you mind sharing which library you use?
Thanks!
The Mazda6 is intermediate segment territory. (ie. Maxima) There are no bad new cars out there, just different perceptions of what a car should be. Drive one. Then decide.
Nice video Roman keep up the good work
Or...someone who doesn't understand what the word "mashup" means, Again.
I saw my first one in "the wild" last week. Such an eye-catcher.
Cant wait till the Diesel Skyactive 6 comes out
Should have used the Mazda 6 GT with IELOOP in comparison. 40 mpg highway. It's a lot quicker than this guy says. Sport mode with paddle shifters is pretty fun!! The point is that hybrids are a bunch of expansive crap that can be beaten by conventional gas. Can't wait for the Mazda 6 Diesel that is on its way.
I don't know what possessed Infinity to start designing their cars and SUVs to look like large marine mammals. Besides the G37 coupe, all their cars are hideous, and it really begs the question, why do people continue to buy Infinity when Volvo, Lexus, and Acura exist?
thumbs up for the IT Crowd reference
Hey Roman, do you think having 200hp or a little over that on the 6 would make it much better? It seemed a little anemic when I got my chance at test driving it.
If the Mazda has a manual parking brake then burnouts should be real simple. The Infiniti should also be kind of easy with that much torque. Just modulate the brake pedal and floor the gas.
Love the new styling for the Mazda6.
Somebody has to mind the shop
Fine. Get a 2.2 turbo diesel Mazda 6 Tourer, 380lb ft torque, 64 mpg, not available in the States? Why not..About time it was.
That's the reason they call it a "Mashup" instead of a Comparison
Compare Mazda with a cow not with Infinity
Exactly. Infinity is Cow dung. These guys can't compare cow with cow dung.
Actually here's an idea - how about a BMW 335d? It might even fit in with the mpg vs luxury power kind of tag.
Yeaaaa.. Great comparison..I'm guessing BMW wouldn't let you use there 3 series hybrid so you got a Mazda..right ok well uhh umm..next up the new aventador vs prius two different approaches too drive to a destination...yeah!!
it actually sounds like a real sports car
how is the road noise level in the mazda6? At least in the video, it sounds like it's a lot noisier. It's a sexy car, but I'd still take the Fusion given it's refinement.
13:1 in the states 14:1 in euro. It uses regular 87 octane. Higher compression make a more complete burn of fuel getting better mpg and decent hp. Reason why all skyactiv model coming out have best in class mpg. Mazda has animation on what skyactiv is on youtube it short and interesting.
Thanks for mentioning old mopars! :D
Mazda seems to be moving in a good direction. I'm not sure what Infinity is trying to be. Apparently neither does Nissan.
I like Infinitis a lot but I'd LOVE a Mazda 6. It's a driver's car through and through. I wonder what the status is on bringing the diesel version to the U.S.
In China at the Shanghai Auto Show
Can't wait till Mazda 6 comes up with diesel engine! It will be avalible this fall.
Both really good cars. However I do feel like the Mazda is a bit outclassed.
you guys need a tv show!!
I can do a front-wheel drive burnout in a 2007 Honda Odyssey. It's definitely heavier than the Mazda 6 Skyactiv Techology, but almost the same weight as the Infiniti M35h.
Hybrids wouldn't let u do burn out so as revving to protect the system.
Roman, does the 6 equipped with the IE-loop regent system? Have u played with it?
but mazda is way more FUN to drive, think just once about the DRIVING EXPERIENCE, because honestly it doesn't matter about power, its about fun and DRIVING!!!
Snow tires? How could you even consider comparing it with snow tires. The Mazda 6 is a good looking vehicle in person though. The LED lights look good.
Love your videos, guys. Funny too.
awkward moment when a fwd family sedan looks better than a luxury sedan.
Why won't the Infiniti smoke the rear tires with 457 lb ft of torque? Seems really odd to me.
its a lot of electronics preventing it to prematurely wear its tires basically
I know this video is ancient, but I just now stumbled upon it. Did Andre not speak English 4 years ago or were you guys just fooling around? Anyway, I'm sure it's already been mentioned this is an odd comparison, but I'm looking at used 2016 Mazda 6 and doing some research..
You guys couldn't' even afford the base M37, let alone this performance hybrid model. The Mazda 6 in no way can compare to the M
6 is the car for me.
Considering I was on a mountain road in a tight curve, doing 55 wasn't bad.
i would love a side by side comparison to the mazda 6 and the honda accord
Roman if you had to buy either of the 2 cars with your own money what would you buy?
i live in ny and we get snow. I have a rwd and it handles good. Yes i would get stuck like once a year but they're not pointless.
Did this Mazda not have the capacitor based regeneration system? Thought that was a new option for 2014
Hey Roman, want to know my personal approach to fuel economy? A 350 cubic inch Chevy V8, getting maybe 12M MPG highway. Great, isn't it? :D
hey by any chance are you guys going to get a subaru wrx or sti to review?
I rather take a corner at 80MPH in the Infiniti than 40 MPH in the Mazda. The Mazda will take eons to get up to 80.
As for this comparison, maybe you should have done a, say, Malibu against the Mazda or get a comparable Cadillac or Lincoln product against the Infiniti. But this comparison is, at best, non-informative. Testing a 4 cylinder gasoline engine against a 6 cylinder hybrid, what were you smoking when you made that decision??
Do you have issues? If a cheaper car out does a more expensive car then the "luxury" car is overpriced....
This was obviously strictly for fun, you are getting WAY to offended.
I actually like the Mazda more than the Nissan.
In north america... There's snow...personally unless you live in the sunshine state.. rear wheel drive cars are pointless on snow or ice.. Rear wheel mustangs with techs and comfort package still cheaper than infinity.
Does he know that the Mazda also have the i-eloop system that is regenerating brake system energy? Ha ha? Zoom zoom
M35h beated the porsche panamera hybrid for guinness world record 2012, jan. 🔥💎❤
for MPG's and price you can't beat a TDI !!!!!
It's not the same without Nathan
You should compare the mazda to the 328i BMW or the upcoming 320i
I really like your show however the only thing I did not like was the very end where you said was for your money you would choose the Mazda. This is a mashup so that is unfair in my mind.
I just wonder how much do you guys hate Nissan? First, you said M35H had a feminine looking comparing with Lexus GS 400H when it is much faster. And then, you guys find out that the 2014 GTR is not as fast as BMW M5, (the only people I know who ever come to this conclusion). And now what? You are going to compare an Infiniti with a Mazda?
'Mashup' is just an excuse for not getting a good compassion ;-)
(I've got no complaints though)
Did you even watch the video?
Where's Nathan?
I'm guessing you didn't actually watch... Also it's a MASHUP!
Great Video
Oh you're right it is spelled Infiniti, I guess I've had such little interest for so long that I forgot the correct spelling. As I said all but the G37 couple look like large marine animals, the fact that you have Infiniti in your screen name hints at your ability to be objective about the brand. FWIW I used to like Infiniti. As far as Volvo goes, apparently you haven't been in one in the last 15 years. Volvo is as luxurious and sporty as any Infiniti, they also have the benefit of nice styling.
most cars today make it like that. it so if you were driving and you need to press the brakes but the engine kept on revving the brakes would over power the gas petal. This is the most simplest way i could put it.
14: 1 cr on a production car? Why? What grade gas, 94?
Good vid, but they are in the different league
Why would you choose mazda 6 when for less money you can get a forester turbo with awd, turbo and therefore torque and, well, the ability to fit a fridge in forester's trunk?
Thanks for the positive attitude and the russian guy in your videos - хоть и говорит с небольшим акцентом :)
MUCH better styling, not an SUV, and no turbo complications... did I mention much better styling?
The Mazda looks way better
In Canada, the M35h is $76000...
No interior cam shots?
do your research they have less power and get less fuel economy except of the boring altima which get the same 38 mpg on hwy
at 55mph. I can do that in my 94 mazda mpv your suppose to take turn well into 60. I drove a altima going 65 on turns.
Can you do a comparison test of the mazda cx-5 and the ford escape...thx
What da hell. Where's NateDog?
Good job Mazda for make that beautiful car, I love it.
What about rear wheel drive?
Hell ya for Andre the Russian camera man! :) Privet Andre
We're getting 34.6 mpg in our Mazda 6 Itouring.
Roman, do you think these guys are just trolling? You have explained hundreds of times that you guys are a mile above sea level and wat mashup means. Either that or they're just knuckleheads
Front of Mazda 6 reminds me of new Subaru wrx 2014
What year is the m35
wouldn't spend a dime buying a Mazda.
Take the Mazda out of the picture and mash the m against the Tesla
there is a mazda 6 ultra, i want you guys to try it
Burnout with an automatic? seems legit
