EXPANDED NEW MAZDA6 LINE-UP AT RIVERVALE MAZDA FROM JANUARY 2009

 

Rivervale Mazda is excitedly awaiting the arrival of the new Mazda6 2.2 diesel range.  The new line-up is due to arrive in the Victoria Road showroom in January and features a MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine in three power outputs and an additional diesel hatchback model as well as generous specification upgrades.  These new editions expand the Mazda6 range to 26 models.

 

"The new Mazda6 diesel offers buyers a greater choice of power and performance with even more style," commented Malcolm Hance, dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  "The 2.2‑litre diesel offers amazing performance –– significantly out-pacing rivals.  All three diesel engines are emissions clean with modest CO₂ ratings, excellent fuel efficiency and genuine refinement.  The availability of the new lane-change radar system also ensures the Mazda6 is a safe yet thrilling drive."

 

The all-new clean MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo diesel is introduced in three power derivatives –– 185ps, 163ps and 125ps.  It is one of the quietest and most powerful engines in its class, offering substantially higher power and torque than the previous generation Mazda6 2.0-litre diesel. 

 

Although the new Mazda6 is bigger and better equipped, it delivers equal levels of fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions as the previous generation.   This is down to Mazda's strict weight control measures which have resulted in overall weight reductions of up to 50kg.  On the combined cycle, the new Mazda6 diesel returns between 51.4mpg and 49.6mpg, with CO₂ figures of just 147g/km to 152g/km (depending on model). 

 

A significant safety boost is also being provided for Mazda6 drivers with the introduction of Mazda's lane‑change 'Rear Vehicle Monitoring System' –– as standard on 15 models, from TS² upwards.  The new fully automatic active safety feature detects and warns the driver of an approaching vehicle before he/she moves across into a busy lane by mistake. 

 

In addition, all Sport and Sport Luxury and models are now fitted with Smart Keyless Entry (with push button engine Start/Stop) as standard –– not just the petrol versions as previously.
