Mazda UK has announced that the European version of the facelifted Mazda 6 will be shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010 shortly after the JDM Mazda Atenza facelift was announced. Both cars look much alike, but with this European press pack we get to see photos of the sedan model that we get here in Malaysia with much more desirable wheels than the lowest spec version that we saw in the JDM press release.
In Europe, the car gets the same 2.0 DISI direct injection normally aspirated engine as the JDM Atenza, but the engine range also includes a 2.2 litre MZR-CD turbodiesel available in three different power outputs ranging from 120 PS up to 180 PS. There is also a smaller 1.8 litre MZR petrol engine and the familiar 2.5 litre petrol engine that we get in Malaysia.
New to the Mazda 6 facelift other than its updated looks are a new pivoting adaptive front lighting system and hill-launch assist.
Look after the jump for hi-res European spec photos.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I like the American version.. looks better than the Euro/ asian spec.
aaah,better wheels than the JDM's.
Like the sporty rims…much better than the JDM-spec rims. The latter makes the car look tame and sedate.
Facelift?
I feel something is missing… New Mazda design language perhaps?
It should have "waves" on the sides, like the new Mazda5
I still think the previous one was a bit more interesting
The Mazda6 doesn't really need anything
Clean and Nice…No funny curves like H..but can't see much different from the current generation Mazda6 except the grill n headlamp..
Bermaz, bring the integrated GPS.. looks clean n nice too..
Hahaha! Someone comments only on wheels?
Weird! Funny! LOL!
Hahahahahaahahahaha…..!!!!
No comments on the design?
I don't want to relate it to P1, sure someone will comment relate to P1.
(You all know what I mean.. hahaha! continuing LOL!)
the sport rims a bit like neo la…
Nice facelift, probably they shud put a more distinctive 'smiley' face for the 6.. Make it stand out more..
yes this very nice….mazda best
Haha.. Rims Like Neo CPS
i prefer the current one in msia…this one has ugly bumper…too much of lines…
please do not bring in this facelift model. The 1 b4 this facelift is better with the vertical sport lights at the side of the bumper. This looks plain n just wrong!
Just had a MAZDA 6 for a test drive over three days. Great car to drive looks good and chunky. not happy with the new front it looks very similar to the previous MAZDA 6. I was very close to ordering the car but now not so sure. the front is wrong and does not match up to the other top range cars. It does not come over as todays sporty cars its gone back 3 years.
mohsin:
waiting 4 someone to say it looks like gen2 is it…anyway nice and decent design..not to funky or bling bling
mazda, please come to india
