Body & Accessories Body
Body
• Basically the bodystructure was carried over from the previous Mazda6 model.
• To gain a better Euro NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) rating, some parts of
the body have been additionally reinforced.
• This also improves the rigidity of the chassis and raised local body stiffness to match the
upgraded powertrain.
• The front bumper was revised, the front grille redesigned (now with a larger Mazda
badge) and the design of the rear bumper was refined.
