Safety

The Mazda 6 comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety systems that elevate the driving experience and ensure passenger protection. On the active safety front, the vehicle includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), a Blind Spot Monitoring system (BSM), and a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). These features work together to boost driver confidence and maintain control during various road conditions.

For passive safety, the Mazda 6 benefits from the brand’s SkyActiv-Body structure, engineered to absorb impact energy and safeguard passengers in the event of a collision. The vehicle also features multiple airbags, including front and side units, to provide extensive occupant protection throughout the cabin.

Cost of Purchase

In Saudi Arabia, the starting price of a brand new Mazda 6 is approximately 95,000 SAR. Assuming a 20% down payment (19,000 SAR) and financing over 60 months at a 1.9% interest rate, the estimated monthly installment comes to about 1,270 SAR.

When it comes to resale value, the Mazda 6 performs strongly in the used car market, retaining up to 60% of its original value after three years. For instance, 2020 models can still fetch prices around 57,000 SAR, reflecting the vehicle’s strong reputation for reliability and value retention.

Running Costs

The Mazda 6 features an efficient engine that contributes to reduced fuel consumption, averaging around 15 kilometers per liter. Assuming an annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers, the car would require roughly 1,000 liters of fuel per year. At the average Saudi fuel price of 2.33 SAR per liter, this results in an annual fuel cost of approximately 2,330 SAR, or about 195 SAR per month.

In terms of maintenance, the Mazda 6 is relatively affordable to service. Basic maintenance is required every 10,000 kilometers at an estimated cost of 500 SAR per visit. With two scheduled services per year, annual maintenance costs total around 750 SAR, making the Mazda 6 a budget friendly option when it comes to ongoing ownership expenses.
