The 2009 Mazda MAZDA6, part of the model's second generation, is a front-wheel drive midsize sedan available in two trims: the 'i' and 's'. The 'i' trim is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, generating 170-hp, while the 's' trim showcases a larger 3.7-liter V6 offering 272-hp. Both engines are paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, with a 6-speed manual option for the 'i' trim. Key safety features include standard antilock brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain-type airbags. The MAZDA6 also comes with an optional blind-spot monitoring system. The infotainment system notably provides an optional navigation system and satellite radio. The 2009 year model introduced a more aggressive stylistic design and larger dimensions, making it a notable entry in the midsize sedan market.
