Short Test: Mazda 6 CD184 Takumi Plus // Classic Limousine
And especially in the classic sedan we last tested, it also retains all the attributes that those who love cars with this design will appreciate: low seating position, spaciousness and solid equipment, although this does not quite live up to current expectations. those who swear by absolute modernity.
As befits a newly refurbished car, the Mazda 6 has digitized dashboard elements that are limited to displaying important driving elements next to the speedometer, and a relatively small eight-inch screen on the dashboard that loses touch sensitivity. while driving, however, the driver can only enter commands through the controller on the center console. At first glance, this control may seem inconvenient, but in the end it turns out to be completely intuitive and even safer than input from the screen.
The Mazda 6 sedan, like six years ago, is still longer than a wagon, although it certainly cannot be measured in practicality. This also applies to the view, which makes the driver dependent on the rear view camera and sensors, especially towards the rear of the driver. The test Mazda 6 had the highest level of Takumi Plus equipment, which, in addition to versatile electric seat adjustment and driver aids such as efficient automatic headlights, lane departure warning, etc., meant, among other things, that the interior has been finished in soft brown fabric with a very pleasant warm feel. Thanks to last year's update, Mazda also improved soundproofing for its largest European sedan, which comes to the fore mainly in conjunction with diesel engines.
This time it was the most powerful turbo diesel engine, which immediately transferred its 184 "horsepower" to the front wheels through the automatic transmission, as it should be Mazda, and with the power and weight of the large sedan body, the chassis did its best. the right thing. Also worth mentioning is the consumption, which settled at a favorable 5,8 liters per 100 kilometers, but even in everyday conditions was not much higher.
