Mazda 6 was launched by the Japan Corporation 15 years ago, namely in 2002. The true 3rd generation of Mazda 6 was introduced in 2012. Since then the Japanese car has become the best seller in Russia and the most popular Mazda model in the world. To prove this statement, we can say that the company had established six car assembly facilities in different countries. However, despite its popularity, the manufacturer has decided to approach the market with the new redesigned Mazda 6 in 2019.
New 2019 Mazda 6 Review:
The car won popularity thanks to the following benefits:
1. Spectacular design;
2. Several bodywork versions;
3. Dynamic indexes;
4. Multiple advanced integrated systems;
5. Reliability;
6. Safety.
Therefore, when developing a new generation model the engineers and designers sought to preserve the existing benefits and to extend them. Fortunately, the launch is not far off, and soon the fans will be able to check out restyled Mazda 6.
Exterior Mazda 6
The new car will preserve the features of the older model, namely overall dimensions. However, the photos of 2019 Mazda 6 clearly demonstrate that the model will surely look more stylish. The frond body underwent minor changes. It still boasts of a long hood raised at the center, large radiator grille with fine mesh and chrome trimming, and rectangular headlights, blending in well with the exterior.
On the contrary, the body kit had got a new look. Restyled Mazda had got the additional air intake openings, with the largest one in the form of a slim line beneath the main grille, between the dipped lights.
The profile is very laconic. Only few things can catch the eye, namely wave-shaped body lines, large glasses in chrome plated frames separated by faux pillars, and sporty front skirt. All other details remain the same or got minor changes.
The same is with the rear body. The major changes involve rear lip spoiler, larger backlights, and, finally, twin exhaust.Interior Mazda 6

• special design of front seats fitted with a large number of options and enhanced lateral support, allowing to run on the long distances at a high speed;
