Mazda 6 Hatchback (2007 - 2012) boot space, practicality and safety
The Mazda6 was one of the first models to undergo Euro NCAPs more stringent crash tests in 2009. The new overall rating covers not only adult occupant safety but includes child and pedestrian safety along with a rear impact whiplash test. It scored the maximum five star rating and all models come with traction control plus dual front, side and curtain airbags.
Daytime running lights are also standard, which helps you to be seen in murkier weather. On the security front, all cars have a Thatcham category one alarm and immobiliser system, while the top model gets keyless entry and start – allowing you to gain access to the car without taking the key out of your pocket or bag. New from 2009 is an optional blind spot safety system.
When the car is travelling at more than 37mph, microwave emitters in the rear bumper detect when vehicles (including motorcycles) are approaching the rear-view blindspot area and a warning light flashes in the windscreen pillar. If the driver indicates to pull out when the vehicle is in range, a warning beep is sounded.
With a minimum 510 litres of luggage space and an exceptional 1702 litres with the rear seats folded down (more than the larger Mondeo), the Mazda6 hatchback is an accomplished load carrier. The luggage area itself is wide and deep, although the high boot lip does hamper unloading heavy objects. Up front there’s additional storage in the centre armrest between the front seats, the glove compartment is a reasonable size and you get cup holders and generous door bin compartments.
