2014 Mazda Mazda6 Wagon Unveiled In Paris
We've already seen the 2014 Mazda Mazda6 sedan debut in Moscow earlier this year, but at the Paris Motor Show last week it was the Mazda Mazda6 wagon's turn to bask in the spotlight. The Mazda Mazda6 wagon features a choice of three engines, including a 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel (173 horsepower), a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gas unit (148 horsepower), and a 2.5-liter gasoline motor (189 horsepower). The vehicle also comes with the i-ELOOP regenerative braking system, which can transform the kinetic energy generated while stopping the car into electricity that can be used by the vehicle's systems.
The bad news? We likely won't be getting the 2013 Mazda Mazda6 wagon in Canada anytime soon, despite past versions of the vehicle having been offered here. Read on in the press release below for further details about Mazda's SUV alternative for family buyers.
