News is coming out for the 2018 Mazda 6, and it’s looking like this version will be the last of its current generation before a major refresh for the 2019 model year. That means you can expect the same sharp design seen on the 2017 model, mixing style with comfort and technology. The cabin is one of the most appealing aspects of the Mazda 6, so let’s take a look at the best interior features making a return for next year.
Generous Standard Audio System
The Mazda 6 is divided into the Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trim levels. On the basic Sport, drivers get a six-speaker CD player and audio system with HD radio and online audio streaming. The infotainment screen is controlled by a simple rotating dial and voice controls, plus a touchscreen for when the 6 is parked. Bluetooth streaming and a USB port are also included. For drivers who want to really rock out or get the best quality on spoken-word programs, the mid-level Touring trim offers an optional 11-speaker Bose premium sound system with satellite radio.
Climate Control and Comfort
Uncommon for such an affordable family sedan, the Mazda 6 includes automatic climate control, which treats the front and rear seats as separate zones. If you want a more subtle and fancy way to warm up, try the Touring’s Premium package, which adds heating functions to the imitation leather front seats. The Grand Touring takes it a step further with premium leather seats and a heated steering wheel.
Convenient Driver Aid Systems
Drivers, especially those with families, will appreciate safety features. While the infotainment screen on the standard Mazda 6 Sport includes a rearview backup camera, the Touring has blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts and forward collision mitigation. The former helps warn you not to back up or change lanes if another vehicle is in your way, and the latter applies the brakes automatically when a collision is imminent, which reduces the force as much as possible.
Innovative Trunk Rear Seat Levers
As a family sedan, the Mazda 6 needs to be easy to load and unload groceries, sports equipment, and everything else. The trunk has 14.8 cubic feet of space, sufficient for its class. But the 6 shines brightest when you need more room. The rear seats have remote seatback release levers so that you can simply open the trunk, push the buttons in the trunk walls, and pop the rear seats down without even touching them directly.
A mild update to the 2017 Mazda 6, the 2018 version is a mid-size sporty sedan that starts out nicely equipped for its price range and then rises closer to a luxury sports car as you climb the trims.
