2014 Mazda6 Spy Photos

[Autoguide.com]

Mazda’s new contender in the mid-size segment has been kept well-hidden by the Japanese automaker, until now, with out photographers grabbing the first spy photos of the lighter, more efficient and completely restyled 2014 Mazda6.

Rather than the sedan model, these shots are of the wagon variant that will be sold overseas.

While camo hides a great deal it’s still possible to see the new front end design, taking inspiration from the stunning Takari concept. Unfortunately the styling doesn’t appear to be quite as wild, with much more of a resemblance to the CX-5. Regardless, it’s obvious Mazda see the inroads brands like Hyundai and Kia have made by using impressive designs to wow customers.

The 2014 Mazda6 will ride on an all new platform and be several hundred pounds lighter than its predecessor. Also look for the debut of a new SkyActiv-D diesel engine delivering around 165 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. Plus, the 2014 Mazda6 is scheduled to get a regenerative braking system and a start-stop function to help further increase fuel economy.

For more on what that engine is like, read our first drive of the 2014 Mazda6 prototype here.

idk why no car makers bring more wagons over. I'm sure they'd sell.

Because they don't sell. A lot of people here have it in mind that if they have a kid, they suddenly need a crossover. Two kids...a suburban. Kinda like manuals are about a 5-6% take rate, wagons are probably around there, too.

True. But if Mazda does bring a wagon over, they'd have the market cornered for that. I want to know the percentage of vehicles Mazda sells that are manual transmission. I bet its higher than most other manufactures. There is also a Mazda6 wagon in my neighborhood. I like it! And an IS300 wagon around me haha. And you are right about the 2 kids=suburban. My friends family has 3 kids. They just got a 12 passenger chevy express. A minivan didnt have enough room apparantly.
