The Mazda6 Tourer is the prime example of an estate without compromises.
You can choose between one petrol and one diesel. Picking between the two depends upon your needs. We’d personally stick with the 2.2 turbo diesel if you’re planning to do tons of highway driving. Everyone else will be satisfied with the 2.5 petrol four-cylinder. It may not have the torque like the diesel engine, but it certainly is flexible enough for most buyers needs.
Driving the Mazda6 Tourer is like any other Mazda. It’s quick on its toes when it comes to corners and bends, but most importantly it’s not dullard to drive. Steering feedback is communicative, and the ride comfort is smooth for the most part. However, on some road surfaces the ride comfort can be a little bit firm. Which is a bit disappointing seeing that most drivers will be spending majority of their time on the highway. Wind and road noise aren’t anything to complain of. Although with the larger alloy wheels some road noise can sneak into the cabin. It’s far from being a deal-breaker, however.
What makes an estate car fantastic is the utilitarian aspects of it. The boot is generous in space and offers tons of versatility. Fold down the rear seats and you’ve got yourself a cargo van. If you find yourself lacking in space with this. You don’t need an estate. You really do need a cargo van. Space in the front seats plenty, while those in the rear won’t have much to complain about either. You can seat three abreast, although life for the middleman may not slightly shortchanged. However, that’s just nitpicking at best.
Entry-level SE-L Nav+ comes with 17-inch alloy wheels. Auto-dimming rear-view mirror. High beam control for the headlights. Rear privacy glass and Smart City Brake Support. SE-L Lux Nav+ adds black leather trim, 3-stage heated front seats with memory and a reversing camera. Sport Nav+ adds Smart Keyless entry, 19-inch alloy wheels and a 11-speaker Bose premium audio system. Top of the range GT Sport Nav+ adds Nappa Leather trim, 360 View Monitor, ventilated front seats and frameless auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
Crossovers seem to be the trend that most buyers are going for. However, if you desire a proper estate with decent running costs. One that’s also stylish and engaging to drive. The Mazda6 Tourer is an estate without compromise.
Likes: The boot space is generous. Standard kit list is generous as well. It’s stylish and engaging to drive.
Dislikes: The ride comfort can be a tad firm on the highway.
