Mazda adds Kuro Edition to Mazda6 range

The Mazda6 range sees the addition of the Kuro Edition this month with just 100 cars heading to the UK.

Polymetal grey metallic paint and contrasting black detailing are key features of the special edition which has 19 inch black alloy wheels and black door mirrors together with a burgundy leather interior.

Powered by the 165ps 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine, the £29,250 Saloon and £30,250 Tourer feature the same generous standard equipment tally as the popular Sport trim Mazda6, but with just 50 examples of each they offer new levels of exclusivity. Standard equipment includes a reversing camera, an 11-speaker Bose audio system keyless entry, a heated steering wheel and Signature LED running lights.

Commenting on the 2021 Mazda6 Kuro Edition, Mazda Motors UK managing director, Jeremy Thomson said: “whether it’s the family practicality of the Tourer or the executive looks of the saloon you opt for, the Kuro Edition is perfect for customers who want a stand-out Mazda6 with unique details inside and out, plus with just 50 examples of each coming to the UK exclusivity is guaranteed.”

He added, “With our dealerships now welcoming customers back to their showrooms it’s the perfect time for our latest special edition to arrive.”

Now exclusively petrol, the 2021 Mazda6 range features seven models outside of the Kuro special edition: four saloons and three tourers. Matched exclusively to the 145ps Skyactiv-G petrol engine, both the saloon and tourer ranges start with the SE-L grade where there’s a choice of automatic or manual transmission. Sport models feature the 165ps version of the same engine matched exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission.

However, the premium flagship of the Mazda6 range is the 2021 Mazda6 GT Sport. Powered by the 194ps 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine that has recently been introduced to the 2021 Mazda CX-5, this high-output petrol is matched exclusively to an automatic gearbox.
