While many people are embracing SUVs, there are unique benefits that come from driving a fun-loving sedan, like a used Mazda6 for sale. For one, these more nimble vehicles are easier to maneuver, making it less trouble to squeeze between two ill-parked cars without a scratch. Their lighter weight also makes them generally more fuel-efficient. Beyond these general sedan characteristics, a Mazda6 also has unique benefits to offer drivers. Learn more about it below.
The first Mazda6 debuted for the 2003 model year. While it would be difficult to explain all of the changes that have occurred since its inception, we’ll run through the specs of a few of the models that you might find as part of our pre-owned selection.
For example, you could discover a 2014 Mazda6. This comes with a 184-horsepower four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and the choice of either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission. With the second option, drivers could get an EPA-estimated MPG of 25/36/29 (City/Highway/Combined).1 It came in three trim levels (Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring).
A 2020 Mazda6 offers more horsepower. The base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that can produce up to 187 horsepower, while the turbocharged engine option can make up to 227 horsepower (or 250 if you use 93-octane gasoline). Both are matched to a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
The number of trims available is also greater. You might find yourself drawn to a Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, or Signature. What do these names mean? Well, if you find a used Mazda6 Grand Touring for sale from 2020, you get a Bose® premium sound system and leather-wrapped steering wheel, among other perks. If you wind up with a Signature, you’ll enjoy Nappa leather-trimmed sport seats and a windshield-projected full-color active driving display.
If you have any questions about one of our pre-owned listings, reach out to our team in Houston, TX. We can help you compare a 2016 Mazda6 to our other used cars for sale or offer recommendations based on your personal preferences. For example, you won’t find a used Mazda6 AWD vehicle; so far, this sedan has stuck to its front-wheel drive guns. However, we might set you up with a Mazda3 that utilizes AWD for better traction.
If you want extra confidence on the road, we might suggest a Certified Pre-owned Mazda for sale, which undergoes more rigorous testing than other used cars and comes with special warranties. If price is your top concern, we have used cars under 10K as well.

Yes, the Mazda6 is considered reliable compared to other vehicles in the midsize car segment. You can expect this vehicle to last for 200,000-250,000 miles or more, so long as it is driven under normal circumstances and well-maintained. Getting oil changes on schedule is especially important. For more advice on how to keep this sedan running for longer, talk to our expert service technicians.
In general, many people prefer to get Mazda6 sedans from the 2017 model year or later. Not only was the quality of the craftsmanship high in these years, but younger cars can usually be expected to run well for longer than those with more miles under their belt, so long as they were well-maintained. To compare the features of two different years of the Mazda6, talk out to our team.
No. Typically, the Mazda6 is relatively inexpensive to maintain compared to its closest competitors. Its reliability also decreases the risk you will need unexpected repairs. However, the best way to keep costs low is always to prioritize preventative care. Getting oil changes on time, for example, can prevent the car’s engine from overheating dangerously, which can shorten the life of this critical component.
