This year, Mazda Philippines is celebrating two decades of “Zoom-Zoom,” the brand’s emblematic slogan.
Interior does not disappoint, as brown Nappa leather greets you as you slide in.
This milestone coincides with the unveiling of the new Mazda6 range that encapsulates the company’s journey toward sophistication and refinement. This meticulously designed range is more than just a car; it’s a symbol of the evolution of Mazda’s DNA.
Since its inception, the Mazda6 mid-sized sedan has gone through a metamorphosis, spanning three generations and evolving to epitomize Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom brand DNA. It’s a journey that has seen the model mature in parallel with the brand’s quest to elevate itself to premium levels.
This 20-year milestone has culminated in the creation of the Mazda6 20th Anniversary Edition, a testament to Mazda’s dedication to innovation and artisanship.
With only 40 units made available in the Philippines, the exclusivity of the 20th Anniversary Edition is further assured.
The Anniversary Edition carries special badging on the front fenders, enhancing the aesthetic appeal with a high-gloss front grille and opulent high-gloss silver 19-inch alloy wheels.
Further accentuating its KODO design, it bears the new Takuminuri Colors: Artisan Red Premium and Rhodium White Premium.
Mazda’s precise and high-quality Takuminuri Colors reinforce the integration of color as part of its design DNA. Rhodium White Premium represents a pure white inspired by Japanese aesthetics that appreciate beauty in simplicity. This fine grain texture highlights the shadows on the Mazda6’s surface, allowing the metallic undertones to emerge.
Artisan Red Premium, on the other hand, is a deep, lush red resembling the richness of mature red wine. The intricate blend of transparent red shines brightly, while the dominant shade conveys a profound depth and richness, offering a high level of contrast.
The interior of the Mazda6 20th Anniversary Edition showcases Mazda’s eye for detail, with a sophisticated tan color palette that enhances the cabin’s appeal.
The dashboard features luxurious Leganu suede, and full-grain Nappa leather seats lend the cabin a dignified, opulent feel. The commemorative touch is found in the 20th-anniversary logo embossed on the front seat headrests.
Under the hood, the new Mazda6 range promises improved driving dynamics. Updates to the electric power steering enhance feedback at medium and high speeds. Powered by the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine, the new range delivers a well-tuned balance of 190 PS at 6,000 rpm and 252 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
A fuel-efficiency innovation is the cylinder deactivation system, which toggles between four- and two-cylinder modes depending on the engine load.
The new, non-anniversary edition Mazda6 embodies Mazda’s dedication to safety, coming equipped with the latest technologies such as Mazda Radar Cruise Control, Smart Brake Support, and Driver Attention Alert, making it the safest Mazda6 yet.
The car is also adorned with black Nappa leather seats and a high-end 11-speaker BOSE® sound system. Improved connectivity features include Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless charging.
