Mazda has released a teaser video of the next generation Mazda 6. The upcoming D-segment Zoom-Zoom sedan is pretty shy in this video – we only see shadowy glimpses of the car’s sexy design cues, all based on the Mazda Takeri Concept which we first saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show.
The Mazda Takeri Concept is the third interpretation of the Kodo (or Soul of Motion) design and is an evolution of the Mazda Shinari concept. The Kodo design has also spawned the Mazda Minagi concept, which went on to become the Mazda CX-5 SUV. Given how similiar the Mazda CX-5 is to the Mazda Minagi Concept, we’re expecting the production next generation Mazda 6 to be a real looker!
Click here to check out how the Mazda Takeri Concept looks like and read more about the concept, which featured some interesting bits such as a SkyActive-D 2.2 litre twin-turbocharged diesel engine an an i-ELOOP regenerative braking system.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks like it’ll be similar looking to the CX5.The headlamps somehow reminded me of the BMW F30 3-er.
Never liked mazda.
Their designs are mundane at best,
neither here nor there affair.
They should make up their mind and have some character and identity.
If there are no mazdas on the road,
no one would even realised they are gone.
shitty…
We have one very jealous guy here……..
Can smell some kimchi here…..finally feels the Korean, oopps the Korean hired designer still can’t come out with better looking car than this right? Lol…
yeah, too BMW-ish. No more smiley face, now serious face..
BMW??? You got to be kidding me. It smells Aston Martin dude, but not a bad thing at all.
When mazda going to launch MAZDA 3 2.0 & 1.6 Skyactive??should be better if they sell CKD in malaysia
this is awesome….. hope it will b available in malaysia by end of this year….. sexy !!!!!!!!
Inspired by BMW 3-series headlamps.
The current Mazda6 is a real looker, the best among all D-segment cars. So, don’t change too drastically ya.
Make it bigger than other D-segment cars ya. Currently, it is the smallest.
I’m not sure what the point of that is. It’s like putting a Proton in a box. Do people get excited by this?
What an absolute beauty! After looking at this car, Sonata looks like an old granny with serious sagging face.
look like BMW? are you kidding? it look much better than the forever look the same bmw!
If it looks anything like the stunning Takeri concept, it would be a real looker on the street.
Its an interesting preposition for punters now. Spearheaded by the Sonata and Optima, we have now Mazda and Ford’s own new Fusion/Mondeo coming in soon.
Normal family sedans just got looking amazing. It seems that manufacturers have finally clued in that normal sedan car buyers deserve something that looks more exciting. Even the current C5 and 508 is quite pretty.
It’s good looking no doubt, but they should make the engine more powerful to be commensurate with the look. I would prefer turbo over skyactive…
well, if turbo is what you want… go for the diesel. :p
Im excited
very nice car…..hopefully the production model stay close to the concept, similar to what they did to CX-5 from the minagi concept.
Nice looking car by the moment it launch here i wish i can buy it? have to work harder X 2
Well it is going to be along wait. Apparently, this car will only be coming to market on 2014.
This car is going to be revealed in metal (the production version) at the upcoming Paris Motor Show 2012 from September 2012. Think it will come to our shores much earlier than 2014. Just look at how much time we have to wait for CX5 to arrive here after it global launch.
Simply beautiful. Weird that the headlight does not remind me of the 3er like anyone else.
my goodness!! so awesome… definitely in my shopping list..
estate version spied – looks pretty close to concept model

there’s not much to shout about with the design, but it is amazing at how they re-engineer cars with skyactiv technology (reduce car weight, add strength, improved economy, improved handling, more efficient engine – better combustion, more power but economical, lower emission and especially the new torque converter which made their conventional auto tranny feels like dual clutch gearbox while giving excellent FC similar to CVT)
it is going to be unveil in Sept during the Paris Motor Show. Should be selling in Japan by the 1st qtr of 2013.
Should be here in Malaysia by mid 2013. Do you know that the CX-5 reached here soon after launched in Japan?
Does anyone else think that Takeri looks like Timon trying to make an angry face? Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase….
kill sonata and optima….please
kill toyota and honda please..
anyone know when this new mazda 6 will be arrive malaysia? and wat is the roughly price? bcoz i am planing to get a new mazda 6 wht a 20k discount….tq
The Lexus will last 100,000 miles more than a POS BMW SUV. The X5 and X3 have bad ratings and suck ovaerll. Convince her to buy a BMW M3 sedan if she is paying that much for a car or an Infiniti G37. I think the Infiniti FX35 or the FX50 SUV is really nice and looks better than any other SUV and there very reliable.
