2025 Mazda 6 Redesign, Release Date, Diesel, and Price. Mazda 6 provided substantial updates with 2017 MY, but the Japanese manufacturer doesn’t want to stop there. The auto market is ever evolving and the time will soon come for a new installment of this sedan. The Hiroshima-based company plans to launch 2025 Mazda 6 in late 2025 or early 2025 with some groundbreaking changes. According to autoevolution.com there exist a possibility that new 6 sedans could come equipped with rear-wheel-drive.
They continue by saying that this switch will be a joint project between two huge Japanese car giants. Toyota and Mazda. These two will allegedly work on a shared FR platform which will be manufactured by Toyota. The same underpinnings will be what will lie under the much anticipated RX-9 sports car.
Wait, there’s more. The third party in this mixture will be a Munich-based giant, BMW, who recently worked with Toyota on Supra sports car. There is an option that CLAR platform will be applied on one of Mazda’s models.
All of this might be just mere speculations. Mazda is in the process of switching all of its vehicles in this class to SkyActiv-Body Gen 2 and SkyActiv Chassis Gen 2. They have already started with 2025 Mazda 3 model. The underpinnings that are used on 3 will be the same on the 2025 Mazda 6. With this knowledge, we, unfortunately, must exclude the possibility of RWD on this car. This option will just have to wait for RX-9.
