Challenging on all fronts, that’s how it’s looking to shape up for the new Mazda6. The next-gen sedan form of the type made its debut in Moscow, and the estate variant is set for a Paris premiere later this month.
Now, a coupé form is looking to be a probability, aimed at taking the fight to the likes of Honda’s new Accord Coupe. Autocar reported recently that Mazda’s chief designer, Akira Tamatani, said that a four-seater coupé was under consideration. “There is no decision, but I would love to make one,” Tamatani was quoted as telling the publication.
The word on the grapevine suggests that the coupé, when it does appear, will debut sometime in 2014, about a year after the sedan and estate make their market debut.
Theophilus Chin’s renderings as seen here suggest how the Mazda6 coupé could well shape up. He has shortened the sedan’s rear overhang, reduced the height of the car and given the front a smaller grill, as well as moved the rear number plate housing to the bumper.

kenapa depa ala-ala BM F30 baru…

Also Honda’s rear! http://paultan.org/2012/09/10/gallery-2013-honda-accord-coupe-looking-good/
Ya ya, also looks like Preve rear, Myvi front, Forte side, Vios top and Camry bottom. What else? Apa lagi?
Alza’s spacious and Viva’s performance…
Emmmm yummehhhhh
Reminds me of the old 626 coupe… But hope it exist…
look like BMW F30? are you blind? and for god sake, please don’t bring up the sonata rear again. it already being mentioned thousand times!
now being mentioned 1001 times: yes sonata rear :)
BM F30 side/front
:)
Maybe he means the proportion.Seriously I think if the front part of this car view from the side,it really looks a bit like F30.But I love both the F30 and this!
A proper 2 door has been missing from the Mazda lineup for quite some time. I fondly remember the old 626 turbo coupes (and it’s ford probe sister) to the low slung MX6 coupe.
North America is a big market with coupes and mazda is certainly the more interesting Japanese marque to the accord coupe and the Solara. It will probably do well.
It was not long previously that Mazda had more coupes than sedans in its north American lineup….with the mx3, the mx5 miata, the mx6, the rx7
As for the rendering. It could be a little generous on the hips and cram some wider rubbers under there.
what’s the point of these renderings again?
Hobby, and skill polishing probable. Good job and, cantiq this rendering.
Hopefully when Mazda do this coupe, they will turbo it to at least 350Nm.
too free & nothing to do
rx9
Fight with Honda Accord Coupe? who will choose that Accord Coupe which looks like ages old vs this Mazda6 coupe?
But for sure not going for Korean coupes. I always want a Japanese Coupe because of better handling at corners, good engines and it’s a Grand Tourer!
Long Distant joy ride with this car is awesome!
Koreans are good in family cars but not sport coupe. I remember their failure. Hyundai Tiburon. Such a bad car. And it should feel bad too
re u sure Japanese coupe handle’s better?
huh..
try an old E46 coupe…
even over 10years old tech still cannot be bitten by Jap or Kor coupe(s)…
i choose BMW 6 series any time :)
Yes. As long it’s not Korean coupe
Yea, if you have the money..
hmm.. ok ok only. nothing special. thumbs down.
why many new Japanese car have chrome line between those rear lamp..i tot they started to copy hyundai sonata dsgn cue..hahaha
