2021 Mazda 6 Sedan Interior

Mazda did a superb job with the current 6's interior. When it was first launched, it had a center console splattered with buttons and an integrated screen, but Mazda refined the layout relative to what we saw all those years ago. The screen now sits above the main center vents. Below that is a solid piece of interior trim that stretches the entire length of the cabin. And underneath that lovely piece of trim are the climate controls. It's all very simple and elegant in its presentation. Quality-wise, the Mazda 6 sits close to, if not on top of, the midsize sedan pile. What the 6 lacks in space, it makes up for in premium materials. There isn't a single piece of trim that would look out of place in a Mercedes-Benz or BMW.

Seating and Interior Space

The 6's interior reminds us why the midsize sedan has been with us for so long. There's loads of space for four adults and you can fit five people at a push. The rear middle seat is only suited to smaller passengers, but as a four-seater, the 6 is ideal. There's loads of room for both front and rear passengers to stretch out and enjoy a long-haul journey.

Legroom is 42.2 inches in the front, and 38.7 inches in the rear. The headroom is 37.4 inches in the front, and 37.1 inches in the rear. However, the front headroom increases to 38.4 inches on the base Sport trim as it lacks a moonroof. The 6 has large doors that open wide and, because it's just a normal sedan, getting in and out is easy. If we had to nit-pick, we'd say the visibility out of the narrow rear screen isn't ideal, but you do get driver-assistance systems to make up for that.

Interior Colors and Materials

Mazda must be commended for the high-quality appearance of the 6's interior materials. The base Sport model is only available with Black cloth, although at least the shift knob and steering wheel are leather-wrapped. Touring and Grand Touring models upgrade to leatherette, available in Black or Sand. Genuine leather upholstery is standard on the Grand Touring Reserve in either Black or an airier Parchment hue. The Signature trim comes standard with Nappa leather in either Deep Chestnut or Parchment as well as Sen Wood and Ultrasuede trim inserts, giving the cabin a wonderfully upscale feel. Finally, the sporty Carbon Edition comes standard with a beautiful Red leather interior with black cross stitching. It also gets attractive red stitching on the center console armrest and the dashboard.

2021 Mazda 6 Sedan Trunk and Cargo Space

The Mazda 6 has a 14.7-cubic-foot trunk. It's not bad, considering you can easily fit a month's worth of groceries or a couple of large suitcases and some hand luggage back there. Rivals offer more, though. Toyota's Camry has 15.1 cubes to work with, while the Honda Accord has a 16.7-cube trunk. The Mazda's seats can be folded forward and flat for more room, but for some odd reason, you can only do this from within the trunk.

In-cabin storage is ample and consists of door pockets with bottle holders, dual cupholders for the front passengers, and a center armrest with storage underneath. Rear passengers get seatback pockets on the back of the front seats plus dual cupholders hidden within the rear center seatback.

Features

6是丰厚pric装备甚至在它的基地e. The Sport trim comes with keyless entry and push-button start, six-way manually adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering column. The next step up is the Touring specification, which adds a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, and a power moonroof. The Grand Touring trim includes paddle shifters behind the steering wheel and auto-dimming side and rearview mirrors. Stepping into more luxurious territory is the Grand Touring Reserve, which boasts a color head-up display, eight-way power adjustment for the driver's seat with memory, six-way power adjustment for the front passenger seat, ventilation for the front seats, and heating for the rear outboard seats. The Carbon Edition comes with the same features as the Grand Touring Reserve but adds several model-specific touches like those sumptuous red leather seats. The Signature trim sits at the top of the 6 range and adds a surround-view monitor, parking sensors front and rear, and traffic sign recognition. All models come with a rearview camera, active cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, city braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Infotainment

All models are equipped with an eight-inch full-color touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Above the Touring, Apple CarPlay is wireless. Bluetooth connectivity, HD Radio, and compatibility with Aha/Pandora/Stitcher are also standard across the range. All models have a USB audio input but the base Sport misses out on USB charging ports at the back. Navigation is only unlocked on the top-tier Signature model.

A six-speaker sound system is standard on Sport and Touring models, while an 11-speaker Bose sound system is standard from the Grand Touring upwards.
