Mazda6 safety and value enhanced
Mid-size passenger car's optional safety features now standard, and prices adjusted lowerThe Mazda6 has raised the stakes in the medium passenger car segment following changes to its safety equipment implemented in conjunction with keener nett pricing.
Mazda has taken the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Rear-view mirror with auto dimming function and Smart City Brake Support – Forward (SCBS-F) from the options column and made those features standard across the Mazda6 range. Touring and GT variants also score Smart City Brake Support - Reverse (SCBS-R) as standard.
Mazda claims that incorporating those features as standard represents an average $1200 saving for each variant of Mazda6, and the flagship Atenza grade is actually priced lower, to keep its position close to the upgraded GT models. Petrol variants of the Mazda6 Atenza have dropped $1030, and the diesel variants are $1380 lower. All Mazda6 variants now come in under $50,000.
"If you are in the market for an extremely safe, stylish, dynamic and highly sophisticated car that comes without the price tag, then it is hard to go past the Mazda6," said Mazda Australia marketing director Alastair Doak.
"The Mazda6 has an array of cutting edge i-ACTIVSENSE safety features that are now standard across the range.
"Even better is that they come at no added cost, in-fact prices have come down. It's a value proposition that is difficult to ignore."
