    All-New Mazda6 Sedan World Premiere at 2012 Moscow Motor Show


    - Mazda's new flagship model fully incorporates both SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and the KODO-SOUL OF MOTION design theme -

    HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation will hold the world premiere of the all-new Mazda6 sedan (known as Mazda Atenza in Japan), totally redesigned for the first time in five years, at the 2012 Moscow Motor Show. The Moscow Motor Show begins August 29 and runs through to September 9, 2012.





    The new Mazda6 is the second of Mazda's new generation of products which incorporate both the full range of SKYACTIV technologies and the new KODO-SOUL OF MOTION design language. It will also be the first model equipped with Mazda's brake energy regeneration system, i-ELOOP. The introduction of i-ELOOP marks stage 2 of Mazda's Building Block Strategy for environmental technology development. The strategy calls for thorough improvements in base automotive technologies before the step-by-step introduction of electric devices to improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions.

    The new Mazda6 draws on the best of Mazda's technical expertise and craftsmanship across all domains, from dynamic performance and design, through to environmental performance and safety. It stands as the flagship model for a new generation of Mazda products. It features a sense of dignity, style, luxury feel and comfort expected from a vehicle in the CD segment whilst offering the pleasure of responsive and agile driving, which is at the core of the Mazda brand.


    The model to be exhibited at the Moscow Motor Show is a Russian specification sedan equipped with a direct-injection SKYACTIV-G 2.0 gasoline engine and six-speed SKYACTIV–DRIVE automatic transmission.

    The official name of the motor show is Moscow International Automobile Salon 2012. Press days will be August 29 and 30 and it will be opened to public from August 31 to September 9. Mazda will hold its press conference on August 29, 2012.

    I like the new grill, less . RX8 fenders are nicely incorporated. Overall design is less busy than so many today, but not sure if it escapes 'boring'; I'd need to see more angles.

    I can guarantee there wont be one. The original MS6 failed miserably, the current model was never even offered as such. And they still barely sell. No way there will be a MS model sadly.

    Im looking forward to actually seeing the car instead of all these silly teaser shots, but I think its safe to say that like the current version, it will be more stylish, maybe too stylish and therefore fail miserably in the marketplace as buyers of cars like these tend to prefer cars that look an old mans fart and come in multiple shades of 80s Frigidaire beige.

    The design is somewhat neat. But I was talking to a few people who work at the Mazda dealership where I bought my MSM and they say that suspect the new Mazda 6 will end up being Mazda's flagship model vehicle. They are looking into making it better with SKYACTIVE Technology and adding more features that would be options on other manufactures.
