Arguably one of the prettiest cars in the midsize segment, the 2021 Mazda6 has become a bit more exclusive with the introduction of the Kuro Edition. Limited to just 100 units in the UK, 50 sedans and 50 estates, it is up for grabs from £ 29,250 (US$ 40,314) for the Saloon and £ 30,250 (US$ 41,692) for the Tourer.

Finished in Polymetal Grey Metallic and accented by the black side mirror caps and 19-inch alloy wheels, on top of the Burgundy leather interior, the 2021 Mazda6 Kuro Edition features the same standard equipment as the Sport trim level. This includes, among others, a premium sound system from Bose, heated steering wheel, keyless entry and LED DRLs.

 

Power comes from a 2.0-liter SkyActiv-G petrol engine that delivers 165 PS. The mill can be found in the regular Sport models too, matched exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission, and is joined by the 145 PS variant that can be coupled to either a manual or an automatic gearbox. Sitting at the top of the 2021 Mazda6 range, which comprises of four Saloons and three Tourers, is the GT Sport grade, with a 2.5-liter unit that’s rated at 194 PS and is shared with the 2021 CX-5 SUV.

The GT Sport is distinguished by the gunmetal grille and comes with Brown Nappa leather, Ultrasuade NU trim, Japanese Sen wood accents, special stitching on the steering wheel, ventilated front seats, heated outer rear seats, 7-inch TFT display, 360-degree camera system and LED interior lighting. All 2021 Mazda6 models get standard wireless Apple CarPlay.
