The new 28-strong, 2015 Mazda6 Saloon and Tourer line-up goes on sale in the UK early next year, priced from £19,795 to £28,795 OTR.

The 2015 Mazda6 model range is available in five grades; SE, SE Nav, SE-L, SE-L Nav and Sport Nav. A choice of nine diesel and seven petrol Saloon variants, and nine diesel and three petrol Tourer versions, equipped with either six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. Eight body colours are available, including a new Sonic Silver metallic that accentuates the Mazda6's stunning form and character lines.

‘Mazda's SKYACTIV technologies and “KODO:Soul of Motion” design already offer a unique combination of striking design, lively performance and highly competitive running costs,’ said Mazda UK sales director, Peter Allibon. ‘Now, new range-wide standard equipment upgrades, enhanced interior and exterior design as well as improvements to functionality, ride comfort, NVH and Safety Pack, make the 2015 Mazda6 an even more compelling proposition to private buyers and fleet customers alike.’

The new line-up sees every model gain a new instrument panel and centre console design, revised suspension system, improved sound insulation throughout the body and a comprehensively upgraded standard equipment specification.

SE and SE-L grades now include Mazda's first electronic parking brake, a coming/leaving home headlamp function, the company's Multimedia Commander with separate volume dial for safe, intuitive interactivity and infotainment control, manual driver and front passenger seat height adjustment.

A new seven-inch, full-colour, centre console touch-screen incorporates DAB radio – a first for Mazda, and the MZD Connect technology first featured on the new Mazda3.

Top-of-the-range Sport Nav models benefit from new exterior features including a re-styled front with LED headlamps including LED daytime running lights, LED foglamps, new LED tail lamps, and new 19-inch bright alloy wheels.

This is enhanced by a six-way power adjustable front passenger seat, vinyl leather knee pads, a new head-up display and an Integrated Navigation system.

Sport Nav grade options now include stone leather upholstery (in lieu of black) and an evolution of the Safety Pack incorporating several new innovative technologies.

Newly developed safety features include Adaptive LED headlamps (ALH), the Lane-keep Assist System, Advanced Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Rear Smart City Brake Support.
