To offer British motorists even greater style and value this spring, Mazda is introducing three special versions (petrol and diesel five-door and diesel estate models) of its popular Mazda6 – the ‘Venture Edition’ models, priced from £21,000.

The new Mazda6 Venture Edition trio is based on Mazda6 TS2 models, and features additional equipment, with Sanyo TomTom navigation, integrated Bluetooth, half-leather seat trim and heated front seats.

Exterior highlights are 17-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, Sports front grille, Privacy glass and a special range of colours – including Brilliant Black and optional Crystal White Pearlescent, Black Mica or Stormy Blue Mica, as well as a unique colour for this version – Dolphin Grey Mica.

The petrol hatchback Venture Edition is powered by a 2.0-litre with 155 hp MZR engine, enabling it to hit 62mph in 10.3 seconds and returns 40.9mpg (combined) with a 159g/km CO2 rating.

Venture Edition buyers who prefer diesel can enjoy the 2.2-litre with 163 hp MZR-CD engine that hits 62mph in 9.2 seconds, and returns 53.3mpg (combined cycle) with low emissions of 140 to 141g/km (hatchback/estate).

The 4.78-metre long Mazda6 estate features unique Karakuri 60/40 split, easy-fold seat mechanism allowing this model to hold a cargo volume of 1,751-litres when loaded to the roof with the rear seats folded flat.
