Japanese outlet Creative Trend reports a minor update for the mid-sized sedan và wagon will be launched in nhật bản this December.

We contacted Mazda nước australia for comment, but they were unable khổng lồ provide any information on future Mazda6 changes for our market.

Mazda revealed the first vehicle on its new rear-wheel-driveplatform last week, the 2023 Mazda CX-60 mid-size SUV – but it"s a new Mazda 6 sedan (and/or wagon) the brand"s enthusiasts are really waiting for.

Rumoured to launch as early as this year – though possibly in doubt, according to lớn Mazda australia executives – the next-generationMazda 6 mid-size oto is slated khổng lồ adopt the company"s new "Large Architecture", with rear- or all-wheel drive, inline-six engines, & mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology.

Debuting Mazda"s latest thiết kế language, the CX-60 has provided our best hint yet as to how the new Mazda 6 will look, and has formed the basis of these computer-illustrated renderings from Drive"s Photoshop guru,Theophilus Chin.

The most obvious visual change over the outgoing Mazda 6 will be itsproportions, as the adoption of longitudinally-mounted (cylinders in line from front to rear), inline-six engines will necessitate more sheetmetal between the front wheels and front toàn thân pillar – also known as a longer ‘dash-to-axle ratio’.

Design highlights of the CX-60 the new Mazda 6 sedan could borrow from may include its smooth surfacing, front quarterpanel detailing, LED tail-light signature, faux exhaust tips, and unconventional split LED headlight design (withthe daytime-running lights integrated into the grille).

It remains to be seen if the next Mazda 6 retains a traditional four-door sedan body toàn thân style, or becomes a five-door "liftback" akin lớn a kia Stinger, Volkswagen Arteon, or BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe.

Mazda"s own Vision Coupe Concept of 2017, widely believed to preview the next Mazda 6, was a four-door sedan – though a five-door shape would fall more closely in line with the next-generation car"s likely sporty skew.

It"s also unclear if a long-roof wagon body will be offered for the next-generation model. Rumours in nhật bản suggest a coupe may be offered, though these have yet to lớn be substantiated.

The aforementioned sporty skew will come courtesy of Mazda’s new Large Architecture, which would see the current car’s transverse engines & front-wheel drive ditched in favour of rear- or all-wheel drive, with longitudinal four- or six-cylinder engines akin lớn a BMW luxury car.

Available in the CX-60 is a 3.0-litre non-turbo (but lightly supercharged) inline-six petrol enginerunning Mazda’s SkyActiv-X technology, or a 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six diesel mill.

Both engines are mated to 48-volt mild-hybrid systems và eight-speed multi-clutch automatic transmissions – with a pack of clutches replacing the torque converter, much lượt thích a flagship Mercedes-AMG luxury performance car.

Outputs are yet khổng lồ be confirmed, however these engines are 150 per cent scaled-up versions of Mazda’s 2.0-litre SkyActiv-X petrol and2.2-litre SkyActiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinders – suggesting their outputs could appear upscaled, to lớn about 210kW for both engines (from 132-140kW).

Mazda products on the Large Architecture sold in the US will be available with a turbocharged inline-six petrol engine – while the CX-60 will launch with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.5-litre petrol four-cylinder, electric motor & 17.8kWhbattery for 241kW/500Nm, & a 0-100km/h time of 5.8 seconds.

It remains to be seen if all powertrains available with the Large Architecture will be offered with the next Mazda 6 – though one or both of the petrol engines seem likely, plus the plug-in hybrid.

Inside the CX-60, there"s a pair of 12.3-inch screens for instruments và infotainment, plus luxury features including a head-up display, multi-zone climate control, wireless phonecharging, a panoramic sunroof, và nappa leather trim. Many of these features are likely lớn feature inside the next Mazda 6.

If reports out of nhật bản are to be believed, the new 2023 Mazda 6 will be revealed in the first half of 2022, ahead of first deliveries towards the over of the year.

However, Mazda nước australia executives have suggested a Mazda 6 replacement may be on the back burner, with marketing director Alastair Doak tellingDrive in recent weeks: "It’s an interesting one. I know there’s been heaps of speculation around it ."

"I guess, if you look around the world … traditional car/sedan market has been shrinking for many years, not just in Australia, so I guess our priority globally will be the Large Architecture & the four SUVs that we’ve already mentioned."

Doak added: "Mazda 6 will continue as is fora while. There’s some updates in the pipeline for it down the track" – opening the door for a new, rear-wheel-drive sedan (possibly badged Mazda 60) to lớn be sold alongside the current Mazda 6, much lượt thích the CX-60 và CX-5.
