The 2011 Mazda6 facelift also comes with new chassis settings, adaptive front lighting and hill-launch assist. Six engines will be available, including a powerful new 2.0-litre DISI petrol that uses less fuel and produces fewer emissions than the 2.0-litre engine it replaces.

Updated versions of the Mazda MZR 1.8 and 2.5-litre engines round out the petrol line-up, and on the diesel side the Mazda MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine is available in three power derivatives from 129 to 180 PS – all of them sporty, with improved fuel-efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.

2011 Mazda6 facelift will go on sale in Europe this spring. It is one of three premieres that will be unveiled at Mazda’s press conference to be held at the Mazda stand in Hall 5, on 2 March.
