Mazda 6 2.2D Business Line

Smart looks and long list of kit go hand-in-hand with impressively low emissions and decent economy in 6

Mazda 6

Is it possible to bag a big and comfortable motorway cruiser that’ll cost you no more to run than a top-of-the-range supermini? If you’re looking at the new Mazda 6 Business Line, then the answer is a resounding yes.

Designed to appeal to cash-strapped company car users, the sleek hatchback will set you back only 50.0 pence per mile – that’s exactly the same as a Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SXi auto. Not only that, but the low 133g/km CO2 emissions and tempting £18,300 price tag make the Mazda a bargain for Benefit in Kind taxpayers.

Yet this isn’t a sparsely specified entry-level special edition. Take a look at the list of standard equipment and you’ll find desirable items like sat-nav, Bluetooth connectivity and dual-zone climate control. But it’s on the move that the Mazda really impresses.

An excellent driving position, low noise levels and punchy 2.2-litre diesel engine help take the strain out of long motorway journeys, as does the standard-fit cruise control. And while the ride is a little firm, the upshot is sharp and engaging handling that owes much to the brand’s racy MX-5 roadster.

Adding to the appeal of the 6 is a roomy cabin that will easily accommodate five adults. Luggage is equally well catered for, with a versatile hatchback layout making it easy to access the spacious boot, which offers an impressive capacity of 510 litres with the seats in place.

What’s more, when the company isn’t picking up the tab for your travel expenses, you can revel in a fuel-sipping 54.3mpg return at the pumps. Climbing behind the wheel for a long-haul trip now makes more financial sense than ever.
