Buckle up, folks, because today we're diving into the world of vehicle width comparisons, focusing on the Mazda 6. This popular mid-size sedan has been making waves for years with its sleek design and commendable performance figures. But how does it stack up when it comes to width? Understanding vehicle dimensions is crucial for many reasons, from parking conveniences to cabin space and overall road presence. In this exhilarating comparison, we'll explore the Mazda 6's width across its various generations, how it fits within Mazda's impressive lineup, and how it stands against its closest rivals. Spoiler alert: the Mazda 6 holds its ground quite impressively!

Mazda 6 - How has the width changed over the generations?

Let's start with a bit of history. The Mazda 6 has evolved significantly since its introduction in 2002. Initially, the width of the Mazda 6 GG/GY (2002-2005) was a modest 1780 mm. Staying true to these dimensions, the first facelift (2005-2008) didn't see a width alteration. Fast forward to the next generation, the GH series (2008-2013), where Mazda decided to stretch things out just a tad, increasing the width to 1795 mm, maintaining this size through the first facelift. Now, let's jump to the GJ series (2013-2015), which saw a prominent leap to 1840 mm, a dimension that remained constant through its two subsequent facelifts up to the current model (2018-now). Talk about getting broader with age!

The width compared to other Mazda models

Now, how does the Mazda 6 fare within its own family? When measured against its siblings, the Mazda 6 stands out as one of the wider options. Sporting a width of 1840 mm, it bests the likes of the Mazda 2 (1695 mm), Mazda MX-5 RF (1735 mm), and even the Mazda 3 (1795 mm). Yet, it slightly falls short when parked next to the Mazda CX-5 at 1845 mm. The big champs, though, are the Mazda CX-60 and CX-80, each at a mighty 1890 mm. So while not the broadest in the fleet, the Mazda 6 strikes a fine balance, offering ample interior space without going overboard.
