2011 MAZDA 6 Reviews Specs Prices and Pictures
During its rigorous development, some 400 Mazda engineers subjected crucial MAZDA 6 components to testing that simulated 10 years of extreme use. Then, to further prove its reliability, they drove a fleet of MAZDA 6 test cars for a total of more than one million miles. In fact, by the time you see a MAZDA 6, it will have survived a demanding gauntlet of quality control standards that are among the strictest in the industry. Hundreds upon hundreds of individual inspections are conducted by an army of Mazda inspectors. Each one empowered to reject any part, fit, detail or component that fails to measure up. Because from the smallest interior switch to the virtually flawless exterior finish, quality is an obsession at Mazda. Which is why, as you lose yourself in the pure driving fun of a MAZDA 6, you can be confident that Mazda durability and attention to detail will be there for you. Today. Tomorrow. And many years down the road.

Wind turbulence and drag are the enemies of performance. They compromise responsiveness and stability. Undermine fuel economy. And disrupt a quiet ride. We were determined to defeat their fun-spoiling ways when we designed the 2011 MAZDA 6. We subjected it to 360 degrees of wind tunnel testing. Applying what we learned front to back, side to side, top to bottom. We even added an innovative system of underbody shields and deflectors to manage airflow. The well-honed results: A performance-enhancing, fuel-friendly coefficient of drag (0.27 Cd) that’s lower than Accord or Camry. And sophisticated styling that’s beautiful from every angle.
Purposefully sculpted outside mirrors and sleek A-pillars help significantly reduce the amount of air turbulence and drag that the 2011 MAZDA 6 generates at speed. Extensive wind tunnel testing inspired Mazda engineers to endow the 2011 MAZDA 6 with a remarkably aerodynamic windshield rake of 26 degrees, an advanced underbody airflow management system and, ultimately, a more aerodynamically efficient exterior design than Accord or Camry. Even the highly refined roofline, rear window and trunk lid of the MAZDA 6 play important roles in helping minimize air turbulence, drag and wind noise resulting in a quieter cabin and improved fuel efficiency.

And with the available automatic, delivers a remarkable 31 mpg highway/22 mpg city.† So make your choice. Either way you go, you’ll get the power and fuel efficiency you demand. And the rush of adrenaline you deserve.
6-speed Sport AT automatic. The result is an incredibly responsive and remarkably smooth powertrain
that delivers a responsible 27 mpg highway/18 mpg city. A 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission is also standard on MAZDA 6s models.

Mazda’s sports-car heritage really comes out to play in the MAZDA 6. Control and handling are quick, agile and responsive. Courtesy of the dialed-in precision of its engine-speed-sensing variable-assist rack-and-pinion steering system. To further enhance the driving fun, a sophisticated 4-wheel independent suspension pairs a responsive double-wishbone design up front with an advanced multilink design at the rear. As with every Mazda, safety engineering goes hand in hand with performance engineering in the MAZDA 6. So to help ensure uniformly linear and fade-resistant stops, power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard on MAZDA 6. Also standard are a Traction Control System and Dynamic Stability Control. They all work seamlessly as one to deliver the most important standard feature of all: Driver confidence.
Mazda’s Blind Spot Monitoring System is an innovative radar-based driverwarning system that’s standard on all 2011 MAZDA 6 Touring Plus and Grand Touring models. Whenever its dual, rear-facing sensors detect a vehicle (or other object) within the driver’s left or right blind spot, the system calculates its relative speed and distance then warns the driver. An in-mirror warning light appears in the appropriate side mirror to visually warn the driver of an approaching vehicle or object. If the driver signals a lane change, the warning light also blinks, and a cabin warning chime sounds.

In traffic, as in nature, the fittest survive. That’s why we made an ingenious, radar-based Blind Spot Monitoring System standard on both the MAZDA6 Touring Plus and Grand Touring models. The system is both simple and automatic. Sensors in back detect objects in your blind spot. A warning light in your mirror accompanied by a chime in the cockpit instantly alert you. Danger is averted. And you journey safely on. You won’t find this innovative technology on Accord or Camry. But maybe that will change when they realize it’s a lot more reliable than “Honey, can I get over?”
Yesterday’s tired terminology doesn’t do justice to the cockpit in the 2011 MAZDA6. Starting with the available Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, you immediately sense a very driver-centric experience about to happen. Once inside, the 2011 MAZDA6 Grand Touring cradles you in an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that’s leather-trimmed and heated. Dramatic electroluminescent gauges and automatic climate control with dual zones amp up both style and comfort. A Multi Information Display (MID) screen conveniently includes the helpful rearview camera.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel features controls for audio and cruise control, plus Bluetooth functions. While its standard tilt and telescopic functions help you achieve your perfect driving position. Add the available Tech Package, and the driver’s seat adjusts automatically to your preset driving position as you
open the door. Rearview and driver’s outside mirror are auto-dimming. The headlights feature an auto on/off setting. Even the engine fires up simply with the touch of a button thanks to Mazda’s keyless Push Button Start System. And all as you happily realize that a driving experience that’s rare even in pricier sport
sedans is only just beginning.

Push Button Start is just one of many compelling features in the available Technology Package offered on
both MAZDA 6 Grand Touring models. Convenient steering-wheel-mounted controls on the MAZDA 6 Touring allow you to manage the functions of everything from the audio system and cruise control to the Bluetooth handsfree phone and audio capabilities. Mazda’s Advanced Keyless Entry & Start System enables you to remotely unlock or lock all four doors, open or close the front windows and moonroof, or even start the engine without inserting a key. Offered on both MAZDA 6 Grand Touring models as part of the available Technology Package.
The advanced technology in 2011 MAZDA 6 Grand Touring doesn’t ask your hands to do all the work. For instance, the available voice command in-dash nav system responds directly to your voice, thanks to its multicommand audio memory. One finger controls the in-dash, 7-inch touch-screen LCD display, which also doubles as a command center for the standard in-dash 6-disc CD changer. And there’s plenty more to keep your ears busy: MAZDA 6 is first in its class to offer Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound. And Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio connectivity are standard, so you can wirelessly enjoy music from any compatible MP3 player or cell phone. An impressive network of high-tech everything. Meanwhile, your hands remain free to do the things hands would rather do. Like drive.
The cabin of the 2011 MAZDA 6 represents a huge departure from what you’ll find in typical sports sedans. By virtually every meaningful measure. With more passenger room than Camry. And even more rearseat legroom than Accord. In fact, Mazda designers looked for every opportunity to ensure that its cabin is as compelling as its performance. The innovative Welcome Lighting System activates as you enter, progressively illuminating your surroundings and setting the perfect driving mood. For passengers, extra touches of fit, finish and comfort abound, courtesy of insightful Mazda engineering. Designers even “tuned” the dimensions of both the headliner and rear-seat cushion to maximize rear-seat headroom. The result is a remarkably comfortable, quiet and accommodating interior for five. So whether you occupy the driver’s seat, the front seat or the back seat of a MAZDA 6, you’ll find it easy to echo its praises.
