ALL the ENGINES and therefore Parts internally in the Engines are identical for the CX-5 and all new Mazda 6, either the 2.0l Gasoline or 2.2l Turbo Diesel.

The 2.5l Gasoline Engine for the ALL new Mazda 6 Wagon and Sedan is all new and never used on the CX-5.

Manual Trans..

Diesel
D601-17- + too many parts to list all, but they are showing a Low and High Power distinction for internal gears meaning the Europe Diesels SA-D have a low and high power output 2200cc Diesel for also the new 6, just like the 2200cc CX-5.

Gasoline

C601-17- + too many parts to list all, but they are showing a Low and High Power distinction for internal gears meaning the 2000cc and 2500cc SA-G have a low and high power , CX-5 ONLY has the SA-G in 2000cc.

"sand" and "offwhite" are leathers interiors?

(assumed that one of the two blacks is cloth and the other is leather)

learned some Aussie slang...

EDIT: Those are the cars headed for Paris next week, for press conference and exibithion. the people who are watching it are the Mazda Motor Europe employees.

notice: no one car w/moonroof....why?

ASH8

Just rechecking...back in a few minutes, but I definitely viewed a Sun Roof (like RX-8) on Mazda 6 Wagon EPC...

ASH8

Yep,

Mazda 6 Sedan (EPC) Parts information is up too now...

Both have Sunroofs available..

In fact they use the same Glass as a 2012 Mazda 3 (BBM6-69-810A)

Would this car look a little bit more upscale if it had chrome on the door handles perhaps? Again, you guys know my view by now; change targets to VW and Audi from Toyota and Honda.

Paul.

MattMPS

thank you ASH, you're a WIZARD ..

there is any difference between strictly-related parts of chassis (anti rolling, bars, bushings, shocks, springs..etc between:

2.0 gas, 2.2 diesel and 2.5? (EU spec)

Many thanks in advance

ASH8

Basically Matt the setup is two , the 2000 SA-G, and then the 2200 SA-D and 2500 SA-G.

So Rear Shocks, Sways are all the same, just Springs are different one for 2000 and one for the 2200 and 2500 , so there are 2 set ups.

Front Shocks and Springs, Sways and Bushes are different, again the two sets, one for 2000 and one for 2200 and 2500.

Just found an interesting one, the Front BRAKE Rotors and Callipers are the same as a CX-5!
Does not share Rear Brakes with CX-5.

Kinda interested in that Blue Reflex Mica. I'm guessing a lighter blue like their more recent Sky Blue Mica on the 3. The 3's darker blue (Indigo Lights Mica) is a derivative of the Stormy Blue Mica I believe.

2 whites? I guess one with the pearling, one without. Looks like you truncated the 2nd white's name though.

MattMPS

Thanks Ash

...also interested to the new blue reflex....the gray one in pictures that i've posted is a meteor gray IMHO...not bad...

I've never been a fan of white cars. Not even Alpine White on BMW's. But that Mazda6 rocking Arctic White is simply GORGEOUS.

I'm assuming that red wagon is a Touring because of the smaller wheels?

fidelity101

I would love to have a mazda6 or maybe CX5 2.2L diesel, I want to be able to tow my rx7 race car with another mazda and with the wagon I can sleep in the back lol

iTrader: (4)

^ Neither one have the towing capacity to pull a car and trailer.

TALAN7

I don't know about the chrome accent but I agree with you totally regarding changing target to VW and Audi. I would also include Volvo and Acura as well

MattMPS

yes..probably an intermediate trim..here in EU "mid-trims" of Mazda are invariably w/cloth interior and "not the biggests" rims

EDIT: seems that a lot of "active security electronics is coming on the new 6

Advanced Safety Technologies 'i-ACTIVSENSE' for All-New Mazda6
HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation will incorporate "i-ACTIVSENSE" technologies into the all-new Mazda6 (known as Atenza in Japan) to be launched later this year. i-ACTIVSENSE is a series of Mazda's advanced safety technologies designed to aid the driver in recognizing hazards, avoiding collisions and reducing the severity of accidents when they cannot be avoided.

At Mazda, the research and development of safety technology is based upon the company's safety philosophy, Mazda Proactive Safety, which aims to minimize the risk of an accident by maximizing the range of conditions in which the driver can safely operate the vehicle.

Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE is an umbrella term covering a series of advanced safety technologies, developed in line with Mazda Proactive Safety, which make use of detection devices such as milliwave radars and cameras. They includes active safety technologies that support safe driving by helping the driver to recognize potential hazards, and pre-crash safety technologies which help to avert collisions or reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided. The all-new Mazda6 will be equipped with the full range of i-ACTIVSENSE technologies*, offering excellent safety performance over a wide range of driving conditions.

* In the Japanese market. i-ACTIVSENSE technologies available in the all-new Mazda6 will vary between markets.

Table of i-ACTIVSENSE technologies
Driving Support Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) Judges the relative speed and distance to the car ahead, and works within a set speed range to maintain a safe following distance, thus alleviating some of the burden on the driver when driving on highways
MRCC Video [WMV] 00:27 [5.1MB]
Hazard Recognition Support Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) Detects vehicles in front and alerts the driver to an approaching risk of collision early enough for the driver to brake or take evasive action.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) Detects lane markings on the road surface and warns drivers of imminent unintentional lane departures
LDWS Video [WMV] 00:36 [6.0MB]
Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM) Detects cars in the blind spot on either side or approaching from behind and alerts the driver to potential risks
RVM Video [WMV] 00:26 [7.1MB]
High-Beam Control System (HBC) Detects oncoming traffic and vehicles in front and automatically switches headlights between high and low beam, improving visibility at night and aiding hazard avoidance.
HBC Video [WMV] 00:30 [3.7MB]
Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) Supports safe driving at night by turning the headlights based on the degree of steering input and vehicle speed to maximize illumination and visibility at curves and intersections
AFS Video [WMV] 00:30 [7.5MB]
Collision Avoidance /
Damage Reduction Support Smart Brake Support (SBS) Helps reduce the severity of a collision by automatically applying the brakes when a risk of frontal collision is detected while driving at speeds of 15km/h or more
SBS Video [WMV] 00:26 [6.6MB]
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) Automatically stops or reduces the speed of the car when there is a risk of collision with the vehicle in front while travelling at speeds of between 4 and 30 km/h in order to help the driver to avoid or reduce the severity of a crash
SCBS Video [WMV] 00:24 [7.8MB]
Acceleration Control for Automatic Transmission Avoids sudden acceleration by curbing engine power output and alerts the driver if the accelerator pedal is pressed excessively while there is an obstacle in front of the car


New Mazda6 Sedan (European specification)


Mazda's advanced safety technology "i-ACTIVSENSE"

The ultimate goal of Mazda Proactive Safety is the realization of a collision-free automotive society. In pursuit of this ideal Mazda will continue to expand its research and development of safety technologies in order to provide customers with both driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and safety performance.

(Reference Material)
Mazda's Safety Philosophy
Mazda's safety philosophy, which guides the research and development of safety technologies, is based on understanding, respecting and trusting the driver.
To drive safely it is essential to recognize potential hazards, exercise good judgment and operate the vehicle in an appropriate fashion. Mazda aims to support these essential functions so drivers can drive safely and with peace of mind, despite changing driving conditions.
But drivers are human beings, and human beings are fallible. So Mazda offers a range of technologies which help to prevent or reduce the damage resulting from an accident.
