2018 Mazda 6

Long regarded as one of the best-handling, most-engaging vehicles in its segment, Mazda6 again raises the bar with Mazda's first application of the all-new G-Vectoring Control (GVC) in North America. GVC is the first in a series of new SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS technologies that provide integrated control of the engine, transmission, chassis and body to enhance the car's Jinba Ittai—'horse and rider as one'—feel. In the last three years alone, Mazda6, a World Car Design of the Year finalist in addition to previously winning Car and Driver and Motor Trend comparison tests, has received substantial improvements to what is often considered one of the best vehicles in its class, elevating its panache and dynamic prowess above its sea of commodity competitors. Mazda6 is a car that begs to be driven, rewarding the driver and passengers. And yet, it sacrifices nothing a family may need.
