The 2024 Mazda 6 G35 Atenza represents the pinnacle of Mazda's mid-size offering, blending luxury, performance, and practicality. Here's our comprehensive review:

## Key Specifications:

- Engine: 2.5L Turbo 4-cylinder
- Power: 173 kW @ 5000 rpm
- Torque: 420 Nm @ 2000 rpm
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
- Fuel Economy: 7.6L/100km combined
- Price: **$52,590** (sedan), **$53,890** (wagon) before on-road costs

## Performance:

The turbocharged engine provides strong, diesel-like performance with peak torque available from just 2000 rpm. While not a sports car quick, it offers ample power for confident overtaking and effortless cruising. The 6-speed automatic, though not as modern as some competitors shifts smoothly and suits the engine's characteristics well.
