Mazda6 is a sporty, midsize front-wheel-drive sedan. The Mazda6 was redesigned for the 2009 model and has a more sophisticated exterior and interior design as well as being larger. Inline-4-cylinder (in "i" models) and V-6 ("s" models) engines are available in the Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. There's also a bare-bones SV trim level with only the 4-cylinder.

The lineup grows with new trims that include things such as power moonroof, ground illumination, electroluminescent gauges, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, anti-theft device and blind spot warning system.

The American version of the Mazda6 is much larger than the Mazda6 sold elsewhere.

• Standard body-colored grille, front and rear bumpers, door handles and moldings
• 16-inch steel wheels with full covers
• Optional 17-inch alloy wheels
• Optional 18-inch alloy wheels
• Optional LED taillamps
• Single (4-cylinder models) or dual exhaust outlets (V-6 models)

The rounded instruments and a three-spoke steering wheel integrate nicely into the T-shaped instrument panel. The radio and center controls are tilted up to enhance functionality for the driver. Blacked-out instrument faces have metallic needles and trim.

All trim levels get 60/40-split folding rear seats with remote capability.

The Mazda6 features a front and rear independent suspension. 4-cylinder and V-6 options are normal in this segment, but the standard 6-speed manual transmission (with the 4-cylinder) plays up Mazda's performance roots. There are also two automatic transmission offerings: The 4-cylinder engine can have an optional 5-speed automatic transmission, and the V-6 comes with a standard 6-speed automatic.  A manual is not available with the V-6.
