New Mazda 6 Tourer Gets A Facelift

At last year’s Los Angeles Motor Show the Mazda 6 saloon was unveiled to the world with it chiselled new shaping and technology refresh. Now it’s the turn of the tourer version to take centre stage at the Geneva Motor Show with a few differences from its saloon counterpart.

• Unsurprisingly, the updates received by the facelifted Tourer are the same as those found on its saloon bodied sibling. That means a slightly refreshed exterior design, with a new mesh grille and chrome detailing around the car’s fresh LED headlights, is the most obvious change.

  Updates inside are much more large scale. The dashboard design has been overhauled with a simpler look featuring more plain surfaces, alongside new switchgear, new seats and new tech. There's also a new eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an optional seven-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster.

  The Tourer arrives with chassis tweaks, too, with Mazda altering the suspension setup in a bid to inject additional comfort and agility. New i-ACTIVSENSE safety and assistance tech also arrives, with a 360-degree top-down camera the headline addition.

  Alongside the complete updated Mazda 6 range, the firm’s two latest concept cars will make their European debuts as well.

  Although there has been no official launch date announced so far, the Pentagon Mazda team based in Lincoln will be able to give customers the latest information on the new model.
