Mazda 6 SKYACTIV-G 2.5 Review
Sexy 6

Story and Photos by Benjamin G. Kline

Introduction, Exterior

Mention the number six and more likely than not, your mind would conjure up images of the sexy fem bot from Battlestar Galactica. And like the bot that shares its namesake, the new Mazda is quite a looker though much less insidious.

 

Exterior

By now the first generation Mazda 6 is looking dated but it did set the tone for the design language of its descendants. The second generation incorporated even more swooping exaggerated lines of the first to great effect.

Mazda now infuses its Kodo design language into the 6’s latest form that it hopes will give the new sedan a dynamic visual identity.

On first impression, the new car has a well-proportioned front fascia that carries with it a certain air of elegance. This is complimented by the flared shoulder lines that give this sedan a muscular stance.

This aggressive profile is, according to Mazda’s designer Akira Tamatani, supposed to give the car the character of a predator in attack mode.
