The Mazda6 has went on sale early due demand for the model remaining high.

The upgrade has incorporated additional equipment and a range of significant technical enhancements.

These significant technical enhancements to the range claim to improve fuel economy by up to 6.4 percent and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 6.1 percent.

“Distinctive styling has always given the Mazda6 ‘stand-out’ looks from other family cars and the refreshed model has an even more sophisticated appearance,” comments Mark Cameron, Sales Director, Mazda UK.

“Dynamic and engaging driving characteristics have also played a big part in the success of Mazda6 and they remain at the heart of the new model," he added.

Mr Cameron has estimated that the company will we expect to sell more than 10,500 new Mazda6 models in the UK in the next 12 months.

This is a rise of approximately 1,500 units compared with last year, with about 72 percent destined for fleet buyers.
