The Mazda 6 has taken the lead for the sedan category, thanks to an update that sees it now getting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a new wireless smartphone charging pad, as well as a 360-degree camera system.

These features may not seem like much, but what won us over to the Mazda is the fact that they are all features that we, alongside the car's potential owners, are likely to use daily.

All these, of course, come packaged within a body that continues to captivate thanks to the use of gently flowing curves and elegant lines. The grille that sits at the front of the car also does it plenty of favours. It's rightly-sized, sporty yet premium, and simply elevates that Mazda 6 above the rest of the pack in its class.

Step within and you'll find the cabin of the Mazda 6 is quite impressive as well. The controls here are all intuitively placed, and the panels and switchgear all feel well-built, so much so that you're always coaxed into simply cruising around in a stress-free and relaxing manner.

Finally, for those eyeing family duties with this Mazda, its 500-litre boot should also come in handy, offering more than enough space to swallow up all the cargo that comes with those school runs and trips to the supermarket.

For offering a serene and premium drive that is suited to the job of ferrying your family from place to place in a safe and peaceful manner, this Mazda 6 has topped out as the pick for the segment.
