New Mazda 6 2019 | Engine

The Mazda 2019 luxury sedan came from Japan with a more powerful enginesubtly retouched exterior lines and an interior with luxurious finishes to compete with the Germans.

The year 2013 marks the beginning of another era for the Mazda 6. The philosophy of design "Kodo, soul moving", inaugurated in 2012 by the first SUV CX-5 and the pickup BT-50, began a new life that year. other models of the Japanese house.

Since then, this sedan has not undergone any major modifications to its equipment or its technical configuration Until the middle of the current year, the designers performed a subtle aesthetic surgery, but accompanied by an important technological leap: to the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine they added a turbo and intercooler with the clear goal of improving the adjusted behavior of its predecessor: a very good news for those who evolve in complex topographies like ours.

.

This is the first engine of the brand helped by a dynamic pressure turbo, which varies the pressure of the gases according to the speed of the machine for a more agile and sporty behavior (whatever the speed of the revolutions), identical to that which equips the other big Japanese house, the SUV CX-9 who has been doing very well for a few years with a heavy body on his back It feels like a pen thanks to this installation of four cylinders in line and 16 valves, attached to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode (operated by levers on the steering wheel).

All this translates into a remarkable response from this family SUV and this generous sedan., especially when you press the throttle in Sport mode, which you can access by moving a switch located in the center console and playing the role of torque converter for a much more powerful acceleration, with an average consumption of 25 kilometers per gallon (at the height and under the regime of Bogota), according to the figures provided by the on-board computer during the days it was in our possession.

The Mazda 6 2019 was discovered in the past Salón de Bogotá with two options of equipment, known as Grand Touring LX and Grand Touring Signature, powered by the same train engine and armed with identical security solutions: 360 degree camera, lane departure warning, front and rear braking aids, blind spot monitoring, hill start badist, stability and traction controls, cruising speed and six airbags.

They are differentiated by one or other of the comfort-oriented solutions, such as the electrically powered rear window curtain from the driver's compartment to filter the sun, or the individual climate control of the cubic-type front seats: black leather in the Grand Touring LX and dark brown Nappa leather with suede inserts on the doors and dashboard in the Signature model, a combination that makes it look and feel really elegant and sophisticated.

.

The Mazda 6 is not a compact: measures 4,870 millimeters long, 1,840 meters wide and 1,450 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2,830 millimeters, measures that provide a very wide cabin, especially for the three rear pbadengers (ideally two because the cardan tunnel is bulky) and allow a considerable center console with movable armrest serving as a glove box (equipped with connections for electronic devices inside) and a comfortable armrest with cupholders.

Although The most direct competitors of this model are found in other Japanese matrices, such as Toyota, Nissan or Subaru., the truth is that for its finishes and the mechanical solutions that come with it, it is already a point of reference for those who are looking for German brand entry sedans (BMW 318i, VW Pbadat 2.5 or Mercedes-Benz C180 , for example), similar prices, although moved by different machines and armed with basic equipment.

Keys of the new Mazda 6

Side mirrors, in vehicle color, rest on the shoulders of the body and lower automatically when the doors are closed from the key remote control.

Both versions include a sliding panoramic roof and an aluminum awning crossing the side windows and contrasting with the black shutters.

The taillights have a more subtle design and have been "invaded" by the 429-liter boot tailgate to give the rear area an air of sophistication.

It includes two gas outlets located laterally and laterally under the rear bumper, a detail that remains intact compared to the previous model.

The front has been modified and now includes a honeycomb grill, while the skirts of the skirt are straight and located on either side of an air inlet more discreet.

The 19-inch aluminum wheels are steel-colored like those of their predecessor, but with a new, more conservative 10-spoke design and the Mazda logo in the center.

Sober and elegant interior
The Mazda 6 incorporates five-star finishes and solutions, such as door opening and engine ignition without key intervention, and the 11-speaker Bose sound system can be operated from the rudder or via an eight-inch touch screen, which also reflects the browser, the 360-degree camera and the smartphone, via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The control center is similar, and the automatic air conditioning is two zones and includes the grid in the back area.

DATA
Mazda's patented Skyactiv-G engines promise a 15% increase in consumption and torque, thanks to the new design of the pistons, which allow a more efficient distribution of the mixture of air and fuel in the chamber.
