Mazda signalled its rebirth back in 2002 with the ?rst Mazda6, a sleek, stylish and highly successful car, which embodied the company’s Zoom-Zoom spirit of driving pleasure. Since then, it has been one of Mazda Motor Europe’s best-selling cars with a total of over 440,000 units registered (through May 2007). More than a quarter of all Mazda6s have found owners in Germany during this period, at just under 120,000 units, followed by the UK with around 72,700 units, Russia with about 31,200 units and Italy with over 27,700 units. With approximately 38 percent share each, the hatchback and estate are Europe’s most popular Mazda6 body styles with approximately 38 percent of all Europeans preferring the 2.0-litre diesel engine as their Mazda6 choice.

Mazda6 has proven to be a pillar of reliability, and now, here at the Frankfurt Motor Show, ?ve years and over 100 industry awards later, Mazda unveils a new, more re?ned, more premium Mazda6. Set to become the new benchmark in its class, the new Mazda6 will be available in three body types: sedan, hatchback and estate.
