Updated 2019 Mazda 6 Open For Booking – 4 Variants, From RM173k

Another year, and another round of updates for the Mazda 6. For 2019, Mazda’s flagship sedan model now comes equipped with enhancements to its driving dynamics as well as to comfort and convenience.

Four variants are still offered, across three engine choices:

• Mazda 6 2.0L Skyactiv-G: RM173,659
• Mazda 6 2.5L Skyactiv-G: RM211,148
• Mazda 6 Touring 2.5L Skyactiv-G: RM215,148
• Mazda 6 2.2L Skyactiv-D: RM219,851

Prices shown for Peninsula Malaysia, private registration, on-the-road without Insurance.

All variants are fully-imported (CBU) from Japan.

The new prices are somewhat higher than before on account of the new equipment, for example the entry-level 2.0L Skyactiv-G variant was previously sold at approximately RM167k, now circa RM7k higher.

The major highlight of the 2019 model is the addition of Mazda’s new G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) system which varies engine torque in response to steering inputs in order to provide integrated control of lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces for smoother vehicle motion. In the updated version, GVC Plus improves steering response as the driver straightens the wheel, by adding a hint of braking to the outer wheels.

Elsewhere, all 2019 models receive Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity as standard, accessible via the Mazda Connect Infotainment display. The new systems also includes pre-programmed apps such as Waze, Google Maps, Spotify, and other smartphone applications.
