2012 Mazda Mazda6 i Touring 4dr Sedan

Overview

The Mazda6 is aimed squarely at the other Japanese family sedans that dominate the mid-size car segment in North America. Buyers can choose between two engines, a 170-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder, or, a 272-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine. The 2.5 can be teamed with either a six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic, while the V6 is bolted exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission. Both automatic transmissions feature a manual shift mode. Standard safety equipment includes tire pressure monitoring, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability and traction control, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, while a blind spot monitoring system is standard on Touring Plus and Grand Touring trims. The Mazda6 is unchanged for 2012.
