Mazda refreshed the third generation of the 6/Atenza range twice after the initial car launch in 2012 at the Moscow International Automobile Salon.

MAZDA 6 / Atenza Sedan

After it separated from Ford Motor Company, Mazda pushed hard to create its place on the market, and one of its most outstanding successes was the 6/Atenza sedan that was unveiled at the 2012 Moskow International Automobile Salon.

Mazda introduced the second generation of the 6 in September 2007, and even if it was larger than its predecessor, it was lighter and sportier.

Made as a factory-sleeper, the Mazda 6 MPS was a real wolf in sheep clothes that could outperform many sporty vehicles, including its Japanese competitors.

The 6/Atenza was introduced for the first time in 2002 and, by 2005, it was already an established car on the market. But Mazda decided to give it a facelift to keep it up to date.

The 2002 Mazda medium-sizes sedan was a design hit, and its underpinnings were good. Its only problem was the rust, which damaged its clean, nice image.
