A midsize sedan with personality

The 2015 Mazda6 is the right mix of practicality and personality. The five-seater will easily trek your family and friends across town, but it will also let you have a little fun as you drive home after a long day at work. The Mazda6's sporty suspension and precise steering give the sedan more athleticism than many other sedans, and its feature-rich cabin will keep you connected and comfortable. With the 2015 Mazda6, having four doors is no compromise.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Mazda Mazda6

1. An eager engine  

Every 2015 Mazda6 comes with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. That's enough pep to get you from zero-to-60 in 7.6 seconds with the automatic transmission, an impressive feat for a midsize sedan. The Sport and Touring trims can be paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters on the Grand Touring trim add to the fun.  

2. Lots of legroom  

Everyone has the best seat when riding in the Mazda6. Passengers can relax in the Mazda6's backseat thanks to 38.7 inches of legroom. Taller rear passengers will also appreciate the 37.1 inches of rear headroom. Go ahead and volunteer to drive on the weekend hike to the mountains; everyone will rest easy on the ride home.  

3. It sips fuel 

The Mazda6 will get you where you're going, and then a little bit further. The fuel-sipping engine paired with the automatic transmission gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined.

Choose the Grand Touring trim with the available Technology package, and your Mazda6 will come with a regenerative braking system that stores energy and temporarily redistributes it to lighting and other accessories, which improves fuel economy to an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined.
  

4. A feature-rich sedan 

There's plenty to love with the 2015 Mazda6. The base Sport trim with automatic transmission comes with 17-inch wheels, power accessories, and a rearview camera. Search for a Touring trim to add keyless entry, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts.

Or dial up the luxury with the Grand Touring trim that includes leather upholstery and power front seats.  

5. Tech the way you want 

You'll stay connected no matter which Mazda6 trim level you choose. The base Sport trim with automatic transmission comes standard with Bluetooth® connectivity, a 5.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, and voice command capability. Search for a Grand Touring trim to get a standard Bose 11-speaker audio sound system and satellite radio capability.
