Looking for a family-friendly, sleek sedan boasting peak performance and fuel economy? Your best bet is the 2017 Mazda6. It’s eye candy—a mid-sized sedan with four doors and an interior that emphasizes what Mazda does best. It makes it look and feel rich without a staggering price tag. New changes abound for the 2017 model.
The most exciting change includes G-Vectoring Control, a concept designed to address steering response. The “G” stands for g-force or the force of gravity. The faster the change in speed, the more one feels the gravitational effect. The idea behind G-Vectoring Control is to reduce power to the engine as the vehicle makes turns, transferring weight to the front tires. This helps make the turns seamless or smoother. Yet the reduction in torque is so subtle that you’ll barely notice. Despite being barely discernible, G-Vectoring Control is expected to significantly improve vehicle handling on slick road conditions.
Also new in 2017 are a couple of new additions to the i-Activsense suite of safety features. First is the newly installed Forward Sensing camera, capable of recognizing pedestrians that emerge into the path of the Mazda6. It’s designed to avoid or alleviate pedestrian impact. Another new feature to i-Activsense is its ability to recognize traffic signs. Just think, no more running Stop signs!
Within the interior, new improvements include a heated steering wheel, leather-simulated seats and noise suppression. For the latter, Mazda went back to the drawing board and implemented tighter seals on the doors, added thicker auto glass in the front doors, and boosted sound insulation. The end result is quieter noise on the inside.
There’s also a new trim offering in 2017. Joining the Mazda6 lineup is Grand Touring, featuring leather seats in your choice of black or off-white and heated rear seats. Other trim levels include Sport Manual, Sport Automatic, Touring Manual and Touring Automatic. With a 2.5 liter, four-cylinder SKYACTIV engine, the Mazda6 fuel economy cited is 26 city and 35 highway.
For those that prefer a sedan, the 2017 Mazda6 offers the latest in technology, with an impressive slate of safety features. Give it a try, and discover the Mazda magic.
