2018 Mazda 6 Facelift Previewed, More Power For All Engines

Bermaz Motor has just lifted off the veil on the new 2018 Mazda 6 Facelift. The preview event, which also formally launched the new Mazda CX-3, was held in conjunction with company’s opening of its new 3S centre in Jelutong, Penang.

For 2018, Bermaz Motor maintains the four-variant line-up that also continues with the existing engine choices of two petrol and one diesel.

  • Mazda 6 2.0 Sedan
  • Mazda 6 2.5 Sedan
  • Mazda 6 2.5 Touring  
  • Mazda 6 2.2 Diesel Sedan

What’s new

Visually, the new Mazda 6 is differentiated from the pre-facelift model with a more matured front-end through the redesigned grille, front bumper, and new LED head lamps. 

Subtle changes have also been made to the tail lamps and rear bumper. The exhaust tips have been positioned closer to the outer edges of the bumper.

The biggest change is reserved for the interior, now even more luxurious than before. The new dashboard with premium materials and design details extends into the doors in one seamless pattern, while the seats have also been redesigned to offer better comfort and reduce fatigue.

The Mazda Connect infotainment display has been enlarged to an eight-inch colour display and also projects the image of the 360-degree View Monitor. A coloured Head-up display, which Mazda terms it as the Active Driving Display, now projects information to the windscreen rather than on a retractable panel. A 4.6-inch colour multi-information display is also standard in the 2.5-litre and 2.2-litre models.

Noise intrusion into the cabin has also been extensively reduced through the usage of thicker door panels, new outer glass, new headliner, and new door seals.  

In terms of updated safety features, the autonomous emergency braking now works in reverse too! Only available at parking speeds, the Smart City Brake Support - Reverse (SCBS-R) applies full brake pressure to prevent or at least minimize collision impact if the sensors detect the Mazda 6 is approaching an obstacle behind it.  

Engine and Transmission

Maximum outputs for both petrol engines have also been increased- the 2.0-litre now delivers 162 hp and 213 Nm of torque (up from 153 hp/200 Nm) and the 2.5-litre now has 192 hp and 258 Nm of torque (up from 185 hp/250 Nm). In terms of fuel consumption, the 2.0-litre requires 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres, while the larger 2.5-litre requires 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres.

The turbocharged diesel engine also sees gains in maximum output. A whopping 450 Nm now spins the front wheels, up from 420 Nm. Maximum power meanwhile increases to 188 hp from 173 hp. This high-performance diesel engine can only consume low sulphur Euro 5M diesel and returns a very attractive 5.2 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle.

The turbocharged 2.5-litre petrol engine that was launched in the USA and Australia is not making its availability here, only in the new flagship seven-seat CX-9 SUV

All engines continue to drive the front wheels via the Skyactiv-Drive six-speed torque converter automatic transmission with manual-shift and sports mode, along with Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control (GVC) technology.

Standard features

As mentioned earlier, there are four variants in the new Mazda 6 line-up, starting with the 2.0 Sedan equipped with these standard features:

  • 17-inch wheels, with 225/55R17 tyres
  • LED head lamps with integrated fog lamp function
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Rain-sensing automatic wipers
  • Cruise control
  • Standard display 4.6-inch multi-information display
  • Power-adjusting front seats, with driver memory function

  • USB-ports on rear armrest
  • MZD Connect Infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen display and commander control
  • 6 audio speakers
  • Reverse camera
  • Auto hold function
  • G-Vectoring Control (GVC)

Those who are opting for the larger 2.5-litre engine size, as well as the sexy-looking Mazda 6 Touring, will also have these features:  

  • 19-inch wheels, with 225/45R19 tyres
  • Keyless entry with speed sensing auto lock and walk away lock
  • Adaptive LED head lamps (automatic high beam control)
  • Tilt and slide powered moonroof
  • Gloss-black door pillar garnish
  • Coloured TFT 4.6-inch multi-information display
  • Head-up display

  • Smart City Brake Support, forward and reverse
  • Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist System
  • Driver Attention Alert (DAA)

Meanwhile, the 2.2 SkyActiv-D sedan model mirrors the features on the 2.5-litre sedan but omits the Sport Mode and i-Eloop energy recovery technology. Subtle differences on the touring and sedan are the radio antenna and lighting technology in the tail lamps. The Touring also comes with a retractable tonneau cover. 

The new Mazda 6 is available in a choice of seven colours, with the new Soul Red Crystal replacing Soul Red. Other colours are Snowflake Pearl White, Sonic Silver, Jet Black, Deep Crystal Blue, Machine Gray, and Titanium Flash.

All Mazda 6 models are imported from Japan, and prices will be announced soon.

For reference, the pre-facelift Mazda 6 retailed for RM156,191 for the 2.0-litre, while the 2.5-litre sedan was just under RM190,000 and the Touring was RM 4,000 more. The diesel variant was the highest priced in the Mazda 6 line-up, priced at RM197,402. These were prices from June 1st 2018, with zero-rated GST.
