Mazda Motor Corporation held the world premiere of the all-new Mazda 6 Wagon (known as Atenza in Japan) at the recent 2012 Paris Motor Show. The new Mazda6 sedan, which made its debut at the earlier 2012 Moscow Motor Show, was exhibited alongside the Estate version. Both models displayed at the Paris Motor Show featured Mazda’s new SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel engine. Sales of the 2013 Mazda 6 will begin in Europe in late 2012. The 2012 Paris Motor Show runs through to October 14.
The SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel engine is available in either Standard Power or High Power versions but this engine will not come to Malaysia as we still use EURO2 diesel. Both engine types comply with Europe’s Euro 6 emissions standards. Additionally, the new Mazda 6 will also be available with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5 direct injection petrol engines.
The new Mazda 6 is the flagship model for a new generation of Mazda products. It incorporates the very best of Mazda’s craftsmanship and technical expertise across all domains, from dynamic performance and design, through to environmental performance and safety. It is the second of Mazda’s new generation of products which incorporate both the full range of SKYACTIV technologies and the new KODO – Soul of Motion design theme. It also features a range of advanced safety technologies and Mazda’s unique brake energy regeneration system, i-ELOOP.
