The diesel engines are the 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D 150ps and 175ps and the petrol engines are the 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G 145ps and 165ps.

Diesel sales are expected to account for perhaps as many as 90% of all-new Mazda6 company car CD segment sales.

Mazda head of Fleet, Steve Tomlinson said: ‘The all-new Mazda6 is the no compromise choice for company car drivers. They can have power, performance and driving fun with low emissions and excellent fuel economy due to our SKYACTIV technology. That cannot be obtained from rival manufacturers who have resorted to smaller engine displacements in pursuit of emission and fuel economy improvements.

‘On top of all that company car drivers’ save themselves money with the 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D 150ps engine powering the all-new Mazda6, having the lowest CO2 emissions figure in the class. That also translates into Class 1A National Insurance savings for employers,’ he added.

The all-new Mazda6 will be the second of the manufacturer’s new generation models to be launched with SKYACTIV technology following the arrival earlier this year of the all-new Mazda CX‑5.

All-new Mazda6 SE Nav standard specification includes: satellite navigation with TomTom technology, 17-inch alloy wheels, daytime running lights, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Traction Control System (TCS), cruise control, air-conditioning, integrated Bluetooth® and Mazda Multimedia system with a 5.8-inch colour touch screen display.
