Mazda
launched today the all-new Atenza (Mazda6) in Japan. It will come in
three body styles - Sedan, Sport (5-door hatchback), and Sport Wagon.
Developed in line with Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom evolution concept, the all-new
Mazda Atenza’s design theme is "Bold & Exquisite."
The
new Atenza is powered by a newly developed MZR 2.5-liter in-line
four-cylinder engine, mated to five-speed and six-speed automatic
transmissions which are newly combined with Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
control.
One of the safety features found in the new Atenza is
Japan’s first rear vehicle monitoring system. When driving at speeds
over 60 kilometers per hour, this system uses radar to detect vehicles
approaching from behind and alerts the driver.
The
new Mazda Atenza price starts at 2,070,000 yen for the entry level
Mazda Atenza Sedan and goes up to 2,670,000 yen for the Mazda Atenza
Sport Wagon.
Press release
Mazda
Motor Corporation has announced the launch of the fully remodeled Mazda
Atenza (known as the all-new Mazda6 overseas) in Japan. Available in
three body styles - Sedan, Sport (5-door hatchback), and Sport Wagon -
Mazda’s globally acclaimed mid-size car goes on sale from today at all
Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.
Developed in line with Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom evolution concept, the all-new Mazda Atenza’s design theme is “Bold & Exquisite.” The exterior look expresses a combination of athleticism and delicate grace in all three body styles. Sporty and sophisticated interior design creates an environment in which drivers can experience real driving pleasure, comfort and a feeling of security.

Launched in Japan in May 2002, the first generation
Atenza combined unique and attractive styling with exceptional driving
performance. Now, the second generation model takes these
characteristics one step further through substantially enhanced
environmental and safety performance. With top class aerodynamics, it
features improved high speed stability, ride quality and quietness,
providing enhanced comfort levels worthy of the “ultimate high speed
long-distance touring car.”
Mazda’s newly developed MZR 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder engine, mated to five-speed and six-speed automatic transmissions which are newly combined with Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) control*1, further evolve the exceptional driving dynamics that were highly acclaimed on the first Atenza. The all-new Atenza is larger than its predecessor, but increased use of high tensile steel has helped reduce the overall vehicle weight. In combination with the top-class aerodynamics, this contributes to improved fuel economy. To lower running costs, the use of regular gasoline is now recommended for all model grades.

Safety features on the all-new Mazda Atenza include
Japan’s first rear vehicle monitoring system. When driving at speeds
over 60 kilometers per hour, this system uses radar to detect vehicles
approaching from behind and alerts the driver. Another new feature is
CF-Net (Cross Functional Network) functionality, a combination of
switches on the steering wheel with a centralized display at the top of
the instrument panel, which provide simple control of all systems,
including air conditioning and audio. This helps the driver focus on
the road and reduces hand movement away from the steering wheel. Other
safety attributes include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Mazda’s
Traction Control System (TCS) as standard equipment on all the
2.5-liter model grades. Mazda’s enhanced safety equipment and
functionality promote safe and comfortable driving.
Manufacturer’s suggested retail prices range from 2,070,000 to 2,500,000 yen for the all-new Mazda Atenza Sedan, 2,280,000 to 2,670,000 yen for the Sport version, and from 2,200,000 to 2,670,000 yen for the Sport Wagon model (all prices include consumption tax).
