We’ve been waiting for the latest-generation Mazda6 for quite some time now and according to reports, it could be unveiled in the coming months and while we have some idea of the powertrains that will be offered with it, little is known about how it will look. That’s where this rendering comes in.
The Mazda6 presented in this rendering takes design inspiration from the recently-unveiled CX-60 SUV. Like the Mazda MX-30 and CX-50, the new CX-60’s design is slightly more muscular in appearance than some other Mazda models, most notably the current Mazda3 that has been praised for its sleek design.

To create this rendering, Sugar Design on Instagram has grafted the front fascia of the CX-60 onto a four-door design, meaning the car has the same headlights, front grille, and air intakes as the CX-60. The same creases running along the body have also been carried through to the Mazda6, ensuring that it stands out from the current model and makes a very bold statement.
Regardless of what the new model looks like, we know that it will be based on a rear-wheel drive platform that replaces the front-wheel drive underpinnings of the outgoing model. Further adding to the appeal of the new Mazda6 is that it will be offered with inline-six petrol and diesel engines, likely the same units found in the CX-60. If that’s the case, they should consist of a 3.0-liter inline-six e-Skyactive X petrol with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a 3.3-liter e-Skyactiv D diesel also with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology.
CarScoops understands that a plug-in hybrid version of the new Mazda6 will also be offered to customers.
