Based on the Takeri Concept from Japan, the 2014 MAZDA6 will include a 2.0-liter gas engine, as well as 2.2-liter diesel. Expect Mazda’s i-Eloop regenerative braking system to be part of MAZDA6. The Japanese auto maker claims this energy source will increase fuel efficiency by 10%.

Three variants are expected to hit dealership lots by 2013, with the coupe making its debut a year later.

The highly anticipated 2009 MAZDA6 is the first of Mazda’s “Zoom-Zoom
Evolution” second-generation vehicles, building on a heritage of sports
sedans and sports cars that no other manufacturer can boast, and bringing a
combination of sports sedan, sophistication, build quality and product
insight not currently found in the market.

Following on the heels of the CX-7 and CX-9 crossover SUVs, the 2009 MAZDA6 was designed and engineered for the needs, wants and desires of the North American customer. As it has been since the first MAZDA6 launched in 2002, all North American MAZDA6s will continue to be built at AutoAlliance International, in Flat Rock, Mich, a joint venture with partner Ford Motor Company.The North American MAZDA6 differs from the similarly named car sold in
the rest of the world in many ways: larger interior and exterior size, more
powerful engines and unique styling. What it retains, however, is something
that earned the first MAZDA6 more than 130 international awards and
accolades: it delivers Zoom-Zoom, and in large doses.

Power for the 2009 MAZDA6 will be available from an all-new
Mazda-designed and developed MZR 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a
3.7-liter V6 as used in the 2008 CX-9, Motor Trend’s 2008 Sport/Utility of
the Year and the 2008 North American Truck of the Year. Transmission
choices are a six-speed manual or five-speed Sport AT automatic with
manual-shift mode (2.5-liter engine) or a six-speed Sport AT automatic with
manual-shift mode (3.7-liter V6).

The 2009 MAZDA6 will be available only as a four-door sedan, and in
three trim levels: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, with varying levels of
standard and optional equipment.

More information on the all-new 2009 MAZDA6 sports sedan will be
available closer to launch, including specifics on engine output, trim
levels, equipment and pricing.

Mazda announced that it’s line up of 2008 CX-9 vehicles will have the option of docking your Gameboy Advance. That’s right, a system roughly four generations old (in gaming terms) can now hook up to the DVD dockable entertainment system available in the 2008 CX-9. Why such a throwback to an early-2000′s version of the Nintendo hand held gaming device? Mazda claims it is based on sales – the Gameboy Advance has the highest amount of sales on record for any hand held game system. If you still don’t see the logic, fear not; MazdaPedia feels this is only the first step to a Mazda and Nintendo bond, which might bring a Nintendo DS dock to your RX-8 or Wii hook-ups to the Mazda6.
