The {{Nihongo|'''Mazda 6'''|マツダ・シックス|Matsuda Shikkusu|lead=yes}} (known as the '''Mazda Atenza''' in Japan, derived from the Italian ''[[wikt:attenzione|attenzione]]'') is a [[mid-size car|mid-size sedan]] produced by [[Mazda]] since 2002, replacing the long-produced [[Mazda Capella|Capella/626]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Neff |first=John |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/17/mazda-makes-millionth-mazda6/ |title=Mazda makes millionth Mazda6 |website=autoblog.com |date=2006-03-17 |access-date=2009-04-18}}</ref>

The Mazda6 was marketed as the first example of the company's "Stylish, Insightful and Spirited" design philosophy,<ref>{{cite web|last=Prossnitz|first=Lindsay|url=https://www.web2carz.com/autos/everything-else/5560/auto-evolution-mazda-put-the-zoom-zoom-in-its-mazda6|title=Auto Evolution: Mazda Put the Zoom Zoom in its Mazda6|website=Web2Carz.com|date=16 March 2016|access-date=2019-09-27}}</ref> followed by the [[Mazda2]] in December 2002, the [[Mazda RX-8|RX-8]] in August 2003, the [[Mazda3]] in January 2004, the [[Mazda Premacy|Mazda5]] in the summer of 2005, the [[Mazda MX-5 (NC)|MX-5]] in October 2005, and the [[Mazda CX-7|CX-7]] in November 2006. The 2003 Mazda6 is essentially the seventh-generation Mazda 626, part of the 'G' model code family.

The first-generation Mazda6 was launched in Japan as the Mazda Atenza in May 2002. The model lineup consisted of a four-door [[Sedan (automobile)|sedan]], a four-door [[hatchback]] and a five-door [[station wagon|wagon]], marketed in North America as the "Sport Sedan", "5-Door" and "Sport Wagon", respectively.<ref name="1gen_dealer">{{cite web |title=All-New 'Mazda Atenza' Zooms into Dealer Showrooms Nationwide |url=https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2002/200205/0520e.html |website=Mazda Newsroom |publisher=Mazda |access-date=22 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222085208/https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2002/200205/0520e.html |date=20 May 2002|archive-date=2021-02-22 }}</ref> In Australia, the lineup was first available in Limited trim, as a sedan; in Classic trim as sedan, hatch or wagon and in Luxury trim as a sedan and liftback — and Luxury Sports trim, as a liftback. In New Zealand, the lineup consisted of 2.0L GLX (sedan only), 2.3L GSX (sedan, liftback, and wagon), and 2.3L Limited (sedan and liftback).

The first generation was marketed as a 2003 model in the United States and as a 2004 model in Canada. In Europe, the luxury sports model was available as a {{convert|120|hp|abbr=on}} direct injection turbodiesel ("DITD") estate up until 2007. As of 2008, the European Mazda catalog listed only the "Sport" version of the {{convert|146|hp|abbr=on}} turbodiesel estate, while the "Luxury Sport" version had been dropped.

Drivetrain combinations included the [[Mazda MZR engine]] in configurations of 1.8&nbsp;L ([[Mazda L engine#L8|L8-DE]]),{{ref|18_engine}} 2.0&nbsp;L ([[Mazda L engine#LF|LF-VE]]) and 2.3&nbsp;L ([[Mazda L engine#L3|L3-VE]]), initially with a five-speed [[Manual transmission|manual]] or four-speed [[automatic transmission]] (with a sequential-automatic option, dubbed the "Four-Speed Sport AT").<ref>{{cite web |title=2004 Mazda 6 1st-gen. phase-I Sedan (GG-series) all versions specifications and performance data |url=https://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/mazda/6_1gen/6_1_1_sedan/2004.html |website=Automobile Catalog |publisher=automobile-catalog.com |access-date=2 March 2021}}</ref> In the US domestic market a 3.0&nbsp;L [[Ford Duratec V6 engine#3.0 L|Duratec 30]] [[V6 engine]] was also available with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic (with a sequential-automatic option, dubbed the "5-Speed Sport AT").<ref>{{cite web |title=Mazda Showcases 'Mazda6' Sedan at North American International Auto Show |url=https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2002/200201/0108e.html |website=Mazda Newsroom |publisher=Mazda |access-date=22 February 2021 |date=8 January 2002}}</ref> European and Australian versions also feature a four-cylinder [[turbodiesel]] that comes with a six-speed manual transmission and produces significantly more torque than the V6, with much improved fuel economy.

In North America, the 5-speed automatic optional on the V6 models were replaced by an [[Aisin]] 6-speed automatic for the 2005 model year. The four-cylinder model received a FS5A-EL five-speed automatic in the following year. Power was directed to the front wheels in most markets, although full-time [[all-wheel-drive]] models were available in Japan, Europe, and Australia. Not all configurations were available in all areas – for example, the Mazda 6 as released in Australia was available in 2.3L four-cylinder guise only, when the 626 it replaced had been available with a choice of four- or six-cylinder engines. The [[Ford Mondeo V6 engine#Mazda MZI|MZI]] V6 engine was only fitted to vehicles manufactured at Mazda's [[Flat Rock Assembly Plant]] and destined for the U.S. and Canadian domestic markets.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

Mazda's [[Hofu (Mazda factory)|Hofu Plant]] in [[Yamaguchi Prefecture]] produced the Mazda6 for international markets from February 2002 to August 2007. In North America, Mazda6 production was handled at the [[Flat Rock Assembly Plant|AutoAlliance International]] plant in [[Flat Rock, Michigan]]. The first Mazda6 rolled off the AAI assembly line on October 1, 2002, one month after 626 production ended. There are also satellite plants building Mazda6 models in China and [[Thailand]] for local markets.

In September 2005, the Mazda6 received a facelift which introduced 5-speed auto and 6-speed manual transmissions, standard 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels, and minor bodywork upgrades.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mazda Unveils Freshened Atenza |url=https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2005/200506/050623a.html |website=Mazda Newsroom |publisher=Mazda |access-date=22 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222092900/https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2005/200506/050623a.html |date=23 June 2005|archive-date=2021-02-22 }}</ref>

In China, the Mazda6 was introduced by [[FAW Group|FAW Mazda]] in 2003. Despite the release of its successors, the first generation car, known locally as the ''Maliu'' (马六, "Horse 6"), continues to be manufactured at FAW's [[Changchun]] plant, having sold over 770,000 units as of 2014.<ref name="Nikkei"/> This model is also used as the base for the [[FAW Benteng]], also known as [[Besturn B70#First generation (2006-2014)|Besturn B70]] or Hongqi C301.

=== Mazdaspeed6 ===
[[File:Mazda 6 MPS (41187288220) (cropped).jpg|thumb|Mazdaspeed6 (Wheels from Mazda RX-8 prefacelift).]]
The 2006 '''Mazdaspeed6''' (known as ''Mazdaspeed Atenza'' in Japan and ''Mazda6 MPS'' in Europe, South Africa and Australia) is a high-performance version of the first generation Mazda6. Its mission statement was written with the help of Peter Birtwhistle, chief of Mazda's advanced design studio in Germany at the time. It was initially unveiled as a concept at the [[2002 Paris Motor Show]]. It features a [[turbocharged]] version of the 2.3&nbsp;L [[Mazda MZR engine|MZR]] [[Straight-four engine|inline-four]] which produces {{cvt|272|PS|kW|0}}, although the European version was detuned to {{cvt|260|PS|kW|0}} as a result of stricter emissions standards. The North American version originally produced {{cvt|274|hp|kW|0}}, which was revised to {{cvt|270|hp|kW|0}} for 2007. All models have {{convert|280|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. The 2.3&nbsp;L DISI turbocharged engine features [[gasoline direct injection|direct fuel injection]] and conforms to the new [[Euro 5]] emissions standards. All markets received a revised front fascia with a raised hood, a 6-speed manual transmission, and [[all-wheel drive]]. The all-wheel-drive system uses Mazda's ''Active Torque Split'' computer-based control, which can route between a 100/0 to 50/50 front/rear torque split depending on driving conditions. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a [[limited-slip differential]].<ref name=ms6technical>{{cite web |title=Mazdaspeed 6 Technical Training |url=http://www.ugnius.lt/mazda/Files/Mazdaspeed%206%20Technical%20Training.pdf |website=ugnius |publisher=Mazda |access-date=20 October 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Pre-Orders Start for Mazdaspeed Atenza |url=https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2005/200506/050623b.html |website=Mazda Newsroom |publisher=Mazda |access-date=22 February 2021 |date=23 June 2005}}</ref>

Originally scheduled to be launched in June 2005, the Mazdaspeed Atenza was delayed until November. In North America, the Mazdaspeed6 comes in two trim levels; the "Sport" trim with cloth interior and standard key entry and ignition; and the "Grand Touring" trim with leather interior, keyless entry/ignition, and optional DVD navigation. Automatic climate control is standard, as is a 200&nbsp;W [[Bose Corporation|Bose]] stereo system featuring seven speakers and a 9-inch subwoofer in addition to an in-dash six-disc [[CD changer]]. A [[sunroof]] with [[moonroof]] feature is optional on the Grand Touring trim.

The Mazdaspeed6 was released to generally positive reviews, and was noted for impressive power and handling.<ref>{{cite web |title=2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 |url=https://www.edmunds.com/mazda/mazdaspeed-6/ |website=Edmunds |publisher=Edmunds.com Inc |access-date=21 October 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last =Robinson |first =Aaron |title=2006 Mazdaspeed 6 First Drive |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a18202873/mazdaspeed-6-first-drive-review/ |website=Car and Driver |date =January 2006 |publisher=Hearst Autos, Inc |access-date=21 October 2020}}</ref>

The second-generation Mazda6 made its premiere at the [[International Motor Show Germany#2007|2007 Frankfurt Motor Show]] in September.<ref>{{cite web|last=Spinelli |first=Mike |url=http://jalopnik.com/cars/frankfurt-auto-show/mazda6-images-hit-the-net-ahead-of-frankfurt-unveiling-296946.php |title=jalopnik.com |publisher=jalopnik.com |date=2007-09-06 |access-date=2009-04-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=km77.com |url=http://www.km77.com/00/mazda/6/t01.asp |title=km77.com |publisher=km77.com |access-date=2009-04-18}}</ref> It is based on the modified first-generation Mazda6 chassis which Ford also utilized as their CD3 platform. Mazda continued to provide three body styles, including 4-door saloon (sedan), 5-door hatchback and wagon. A number of journalists have already praised its electrically assisted steering for being considerably improved compared to the previous generation, providing more feedback to the driver. The hatchback model even has a trunk space which beats the larger rival [[Ford Mondeo]] and [[Opel Insignia|Opel/Vauxhall Insignia]] (hatchback) by 200 liters with rear seats folded down.

This model of the Mazda6 was awarded 2010 Family [[Car of the Year]] by ''[[What Car?]]'' magazine.

At the [[Geneva Motor Show#2010|2010 Geneva Motor Show]], Mazda announced their new 2011 Mazda6.

=== North America ===
The North American version was redesigned for the 2009 model year, with the wagon and hatchback versions being dropped there. It is a widened and lengthened version of the model sold elsewhere, with larger engines.

On March 3, 2011, around 50,000 Mazda6 vehicles from the 2009–10 model years were recalled in the United States, with another 15,000 in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico after it was found that [[Yellow Sac Spider]]s were building nests in the fuel line of the vehicles.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12643610 | work=BBC News | title=Spider web fire risk prompts Mazda6 recall | date=2011-03-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=https://money.cnn.com/2011/03/03/autos/mazda6_spider_recall/?npt=NP1 | work=CNN | first=Peter | last=Valdes-Dapena | title=Spiders lead to Mazda recall | date=2011-03-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=United States Department of Transportation |title=NHTSA Campaign Number 14V114000: Spiders may block fuel tank vent line |url=https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2010/MAZDA/MAZDA6/4%252520DR/FWD#recalls361 |website=National Highway Traffic Safety Administration |publisher=NHTSA |access-date=21 June 2023 |language=English |date=11 March 2014}}</ref> The Mazda6 has two pipes coming from its gas tank, an extremely rare configuration.

== Awards ==
The Mazda6 was second place in the 2003 [[European Car of the Year]] awards and made ''[[Car and Driver]]'' magazine's [[Car and Driver Ten Best|Ten Best list]] for 2003. The ''Sport Wagon'' won the [[Canadian Car of the Year]] ''Best New Station Wagon'' award, while the ''Sport'' sedan won the [[Canadian Car of the Year]] ''Best New Family Car'' award for 2005. The 6 Estate also won [[What Car?|''What Car?''{{'}}s]] ''Best Estate'' award in 2004. Also the Mazda6 won the 2003 [[Semperit Irish Car of the Year]].

The Mazda6 won the 'Best Mid-size Car (over $28,000)' title in Australia's Best Cars in 2002 and 2003.<ref name="awards_list_2003">{{cite web |title=Mazda Atenza's Award-Winning Streak Continues |url=https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2003/200305/0529e.html |website=Mazda Newsroom |publisher=Mazda |access-date=22 February 2021}}</ref> It came second in 2004, behind the [[Subaru Legacy|Subaru Liberty]], and fifth in 2005 (the [[Honda Accord Euro]] was first in 2005). Wheels magazine also awarded the Mazda6 winner of its Active Safety Program in July 2005. In December 2007 the Mazda6 won the Carsales Peoples Choice award for its class in Australia.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

The Mazda6 also won "Best Family Sedan" in ''[[MotorWeek Drivers' Choice Awards|MotorWeek]]''{{'}}s 2009 Driver's Choice Awards.<ref>{{cite web |title=Driver's Choice Awards 2009 |url=http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/dc2009/list.shtml |website=MotorWeek |publisher=mpt.org |access-date=22 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100129215408/http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/dc2009/list.shtml |archive-date=2010-01-29 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Mazda6 was praised for its edgy handsome design, communicative steering, and tight suspension. However, as it was designed as a world car in order to fit the needs of Europe and Japan, it was smaller than its North American contemporaries in the midsize segment, being criticized for its reduced passenger space. Its acceleration, particularly the V6 engine models, lagged behind that of its rivals as well.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/mazda6/review.html |title=Mazda 6 Overview |publisher=Edmunds.com |access-date=2009-04-18}}</ref>

The hatchback's [[liftback]]/notchback styling was considered a clever design to disguise it as a four-door saloon, as North Americans generally considered trunks more elegant than hatches. The estate had an early demise, but the hatchback was somewhat successful in Canada, especially in Québec, though it would not have a 2009 refresh, as both models were unpopular in the US.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/pw/2009-mazda6.php |title=canadiandriver.com |publisher=canadiandriver.com |date=2008-07-28 |access-date=2009-04-18}}</ref>

==Motorsport==
For the [[2013 Rolex Sports Car Series]] the Mazda6 was involved in the short lived Grand-Am GX series. Three cars were used, one racing under the number #70, being driven by Jonathan Bomarito, Marino Franchitti, Tom Long, Sylvain Tremblay, and James Hinchcliff, a VisitFlorida.com sponsored car using the number #00, driven by Tristan Nunez, Spencer Pigot, and Tristan Vautier, and Yojiro Terada, and the third car was driven under the #25, being driven by Andrew Carbonell, Tom Long, Rhett O’Doski, and Derek Whitis. The car was successful, albeit in a class with few other cars. The class they were driven in was the GX class, intended for cars using [[Alternative fuel|alternative fuels]] or alternative technologies. The class folded after one year, and was not carried onto the [[2014 United SportsCar Championship]].
