The Mazda 6 estate has been revealed at the Paris motor show. The move comes a month after the saloon variant premiered at the Moscow show.
At launch, the Mazda 6 estate will be available with a 2.2-litre SkyActive-D diesel engine, developing 148g/km. The engine, which will also be installed in the saloon, could deliver emissions as low as 105g/km. The design remains close to the Takeri concept, a fact that Mazda CEO Takeo Yamanouchi says is very deliberate because the company "knows that styling is a number one priority to Mazda customers, with efficiency and safety as the other important elements."
A SkyActiv-G 2.0-litre petrol engine, which promises torque levels in excess of what’s usually expected of a naturally aspirated unit, will feature in the line-up. Both engines are Euro 6 compliant.
Like the Mazda 6 saloon, the estate has been influenced by the brand’s Kodo design language and employ’s the full range of SkyActiv technologies including i-ELOOP regenerative braking system, in an effort to drive up efficiency.

626
Is it me or is this design not quite as nice as the existing car. I feel there's a touch of 626 about it and Mazda's heritage in this area is not something worthy of a revival.
Whatever, it will drive well and won't go wrong.
148g/km?
I think I'm right in saying that the 2.2-litre SkyActive-D diesel engine develops 148 bhp and not 148 g/km as stated.
YES
This is going to eat into Volvo/Merc and possibly Audi sales because in 4wd estate version it will be a winner! Great looking car inside and out
