Purposefully sculpted outside mirrors and sleek A-pillars help significantly reduce the
amount of air turbulence and drag that the MAZDA
6 generates at speed.

Extensive
wind tunnel testing inspired Mazda engineers to endow the MAZDA
6 with a remarkably
aerodynamic windshield rake of 26 degrees, an advanced underbody airflow management
system and, ultimately, a more aerodynamically efficient exterior design than Accord or
Camry. Even the highly refined roofline, rear window and trunk lid of the MAZDA
6 play
important roles in helping minimize air turbulence, drag and wind noise
resulting in a
quieter cabin and improved fuel efficiency.
Wind turbulence and drag are the enemies of performance. They compromise responsiveness and stability. Undermine fuel
economy. And disrupt a quiet ride. We were determined to defeat their fun-spoiling ways when we designed the MAZDA
6.
We subjected it to 360 degrees of wind tunnel testing. Applying what we learned front to back, side to side,
top to bottom. We even added an innovative system of underbody shields and deflectors to manage airflow.
The well-honed results: A performance-enhancing, fuel-friendly coefficient of drag (0.27 Cd) that’s lower
than Accord or Camry. And sophisticated styling that’s beautiful from every angle.
