Mazda's flagship model showcased at Moscow International Auto Salooon

The all-new Mazda6, which celebrates its world premiere at the 2012 Moscow Motor Show, is the second of a new generation of Mazda vehicles which adopt the Japanese company's full range of SKYACTIV technology and the 'KODO-Soul of Motion' design language. Mazda has consistently strived to provide stylish, insightful and spirited cars and the new generation vehicles - the CX-5 compact SUV and new Mazda6 flagship model - deliver a high-quality, exhilarating driving experience, while offering outstanding environmental and safety performance.

Drawing on the full potential of both SKYACTIV technology and KODO design, the new Mazda6 aims to take the "joy of driving" to a new level. As the flagship model of a new generation of vehicles, it will build on the momentum created by the success of CX-5, and heralds a new era for the Mazda brand. New Mazda6 will be introduced to global markets starting in late 2012.

The new Mazda6 is the production model born of the Mazda Takeri concept car first showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show in December 2011. "The new Mazda6 has a robust framework and a low, wide stance that expresses strength and stability, creating the impression of amazing vitality, without detracting from the universal aesthetic appeal and beautiful form it displays as a C-D segment car," says chief designer Akira Tamatani.

At a single glance, the exterior design of the 4.8-metre long saloon conveys animal-like tenacity, dignity and a sporty flare through its smooth and powerful physique. The coordinated interior, in keynote black, is both chic and contemporary without compromising on a timeless feeling of luxury and quality.
