In the segment of the recent mid-size sedans, the 2019 edition of Mazda 6 stands as a breakout with an eye catching design that also packs in wonderful power train options and advanced tech-rich feature packages. It is till now one of the most like able sedans that is most widely used across the seas and boundaries.
But the best way to know how a car really fairs, is collecting the honest feedback from its users. That was our primary reason to visit the Tempe Mazda dealership where we could fortunately connect to many 2019 Mazda 6 buyers who come their regularly for their scheduled maintenance. The sales team there offered us to take a test drive, which we accepted with pleasure. Our test drive helped us observe the 2019 Mazda 6 from a closer range and analyze its each and every movement on the move.
We too experienced almost the same what we heard from other users, and here’s a brief note on them.
2019 Lineup
For 2019, the lineup of Mazda 6 consists of five unique trim levels, namely, the Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature. Though for this year this mid-size sedan from Mazda stayed mostly unchanged from its last year edition, a few safety features became standard which was offered only as optional in the last year model.
Remarkable Exteriors
The 2019 Mazda 6 is not only a standout in the segment of luxury sedans, but it also stays ahead of the rest of the lot with its remarkable exterior dimensions, shapes and design. The body of the 2019 Mazda 6 wears a smooth flowing design that still stays unmatched by its closest rivals.
Creature Comfort and Convenience Features
The cabin of the 2019 Mazda 6 sedans can sit four adult passengers with ease and comfort. Fortunately even the base models of the 2019 Mazda 6 are brimming with high quality creature comfort and convenience features like premium quality cloth upholstery, while Mazda offers you to choose from cloth, synthetic leather, real leather, or soft leather upholstery depending upon the trim level you go for.
Other features include a handful of power switches, dual-zone climate control, 17-inch wheels, two USB inputs, Bluetooth connectivity, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen for the infotainment. The cabin splits into 60/40 ratio to accommodate both passengers and their luggage in its 14.7 cubic feet of space, which though isn’t on the bigger side of its segment isn’t less either.
Power Mechanisms
Under the hoods of almost every trim model of the 2019 Mazda 6 sedans you are most likely to get s a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine that can make 187 of horsepower when particularly hooked to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Mazda keeps the 6-speed manual transmission away from the lineup this year, which is of great disappointment for the driving enthusiasts.
To compensate, and live up to the expectation of sporty drivers, Mazda also offers a 250-hp generating turbo-4 engine as an option.
Handling Prowess
Ask anyone at the Tempe Mazda dealership who has driven a 2019 Mazda 6, and you’ll get an extremely positive response on the handling prowess which is common in every 2019 Mazda 6 trim model, irrespective of the engine option you choose.
