So the Mazda 6 is categorized under the 4-door mid sized sedan.comparing to previous models the new model is more attractive and catches our mind with that aggressive,beast inspired design.I will begin with the front grille,The new mazda 6 comes with a big mouth opened like grille known as "Signature Wing" between angel eye type two headlights.The newly added daytime running lights and Halo ring lights on this Mazda adds a another beauty to this car.The all new hood and the body styling began from the hood of front bonnet continues through the body.Lowered roof and the bit higher rear end adds its one of a kind beauty to this car which makes us a car that "Looks cool from every angle".
       The 
   The 6's wheels come with 18'' and 19'' standard.18" wheels are for i-Sport model and 19" wheels are for Touring model.

Some cars are looking fantastic and mind blowing from out side while is so boring from inside.But the new 6 has managed to me cool from outside as well inside.The 6's interior is integrated with 5.8" touch screen  which support Apple devices.The sound system of the Luxury model is integrated with 11 speakers as well basic model comes with 4 speakers.The interior of Mazda comes with Leather trim as well as the Suede trim.The luxury model come with leather as well low luxury model comes with the suede trim.the polished aluminium parts are added to the interior of the car and add a modern glitz to the interior of the car.The mid circulation selector is accommodated for mode selection and center console operation.
