The Mazda 6's superior combination of lively, cultivated engines, "one-with-the-car" handling and ride quality make it unique to this segment. Taking this as their starting point, chassis engineers made several important changes to the steering and suspension systems of the facelift to further refine the car's drive and ride quality. The facelift version was also developed according to Mazda's lightweight strategy to the benefit of both dynamics and fuel efficiency.
