Mazda6 Performance

The 2018 Mazda6 is available with two different engines, and since both have been designed with Mazda SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY, each has the potential to revitalize your commutes around the Elgin region. We’ve detailed the specifications for each Mazda6 engine right here:
- 2.5-Liter SKYACTIV®-G 4-Cylinder Engine
-

The first engine option is standard in both the Sport and the Touring trim levels. The turbocharged engine is standard in the Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature Mazda6 configurations.
Mazda6 Performance Features
A SKYACTIV®-MT six-speed manual transmission is standard in the baseline Sport trim. Each of the other Mazda6 configurations receives a standard SKYACTIV®-Drive automatic transmission with six speeds and a built-in Sport Mode, and this option is also available on the baseline trim. All are standard with SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and the Traction Control System (TCS).
Mazda6 Fuel Economy
The Mazda6 offers respectable fuel economy across all five of its available trim levels, but your model’s efficiency will vary depending on which engine and transmission you select:
- When equipped with the baseline 2.5-Liter SKYACTIV®-G engine and the SKYACTIV®-MT manual transmission, the Mazda6 gets 24 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.
- With the baseline 2.5-Liter SKYACTIV®-G engine and the SKYACTIV®-Drive automatic transmission, the Mazda6 gets 26 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.
- Models that include the 2.5-Liter SKYACTIV®-G with Dynamic Pressure Turbo all receive the SKYACTIV®-Drive automatic transmission. These builds get 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.
