out of 5
The 2013 Mazda 6 stands out visually because of Mazda’s KODO design philosophy, which emphasizes flowing body lines and a sporty stance. Based on feedback from Sri Lankan owners, the long bonnet and wide grille give the sedan a more premium appearance than many competitors from the same period. Even after a decade, the design still looks modern when parked next to newer vehicles. The sleek headlights and smooth side profile also help the car appear wider and lower, which enhances its sporty image. However, the same styling elements create long overhangs and relatively low ground clearance. On uneven roads or steep driveways, drivers sometimes need to approach carefully to avoid scraping.
