What is better than Camry 40 or Mazda 6. Toyota Camry against competitors - a comparative test

The business class performed by the Japanese manufacturer has long conquered the markets of the whole world, but once several concerns from the country of the rising sun stubbornly fought to stand in one row with the works of German car industry. Today, often the medium-sized cars of this class compete with each other. The car enthusiasts are still arguing: what is better, Toyota Camry or Mazda 6. Give the only correct answer to this question simply impossible, but it is interesting to compare these cars.

Style and Comfort.

Both vehicles are in its capacity to class D. This means that the internal volume is enough to use the car as a family, but not when the family consists of more than 4-5 people. Mazda offers the largest choice of body options: the sixth model enters the market and as a 4-door sedan, and in the form of a wagon with five doors. Toyota decided to imagine only one body, and this is a sedan with four doors. But both models are five-seater. Both brands recently offered restyling versions of their hits: In 2015, new cars were already sold on the market.

From the point of view of the exterior of cars are completely opposite. Mazda more and more goes in the direction of sports style, which is emphasized by all possible methodsTherefore, a young man with ambitions and a certain life position is recommended for its steering wheel. Toyota also seeks to join the presentable rows of a high-end car and therefore in the last restyling model of Camry acquired traditional European features. Optics are good in both machines, so the choice of this item is a matter of taste. In the interior, Mazda went further than Toyota from the point of view of introducing the latest technological elements, Camry paid a little less attention to this issue. Comfort and ergonomics at one level. Colored plastic inserts caused disputes from lovers of both brands, since no functionality is not in themselves, but their style is very dubious.

Characteristics of travel

In comparison of the chassis of two cars, the same difference in the concept of the car is traced. Mazda 6 wins his responsiveness, activity. The acceleration characteristics of this car is significantly better than Toyota. It is convenient to compare the numbers obtained during the numerous test drives:

• Acceleration up to hundreds: Toyota 9 seconds - Mazda 7.8 seconds;
• Maximum speed: 210 - 223 kilometers per hour, respectively;
• Engine power: 210 - 223 horsepower;
• Torque: 231 - 256 units.

Mazda 6 makes it possible to feel a much more interesting level of manageability. But here is the smoothness, the quality of depreciation, the subtleness of the suspension settings and the level of noise insulation - all this remains at a fairly low level in the package of aggressiveness and drive. Comfortable ride is possible only on a flat asphalt, small holes on the contrary will let yourself know in each corner of the cabin. The stability of the body in Mazda is good, but when turning to increased speeds There is a sense of demolition on the main axes. Praise deserved only the brakes that fully correspond to the power of the engine.

Toyota was created, obviously, with a bias towards business comfort. And such a position of the developers received more positive feedback, since both cars position themselves in this segment, and Mazda developers obviously decided to move a little from the expected concept. Although Toyota does not hit by his acceleration, the dynamics and drive are expressed rather a hint, she conquers its comfort level. The suspension is so good that even in conditions of broken urban roads, most of the defects are not tangible. Noise insulation has improved in the process of restyling and, as a result, no wheels or the engine in the cabin is not heard. When pressed on the gas pedal, the elastic response and pickupiness is felt, but in general chassis Configured to fuel economy and smoothness. Automatic box gives slack only on increased turnsWhen the delay at the moment of switching becomes noticeable, and in general, this node is well done. Handling is slightly less informative, rolls are minimal.

Determine the winner in this part of the comparison is also not easy. Experts tend to Camry, because compliance with the stated class is still very important, and the level of comfort and economy is appreciated every year.

Security level

In professional test drives, safety testing, both passive and active, occupies an important place. And here the winner is obvious: Mazda received 5 stars out of 5, while Toyota won one less. During numerous crash tests were identified weak spots This car, but it should be borne in mind that Camry has been presented and slightly higher demands. However, the six on this parameter remains in favorites.

Prestigious models Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry. are well-known representatives of the Japanese car industry. Both cars won a whole army of fans from the moment the first generations appeared on the market. The main task, which manufacturers impose on them, becomes dense competition with leading models of automotive concerns from Europe and the USA. The Japanese average-sized "business class" combines advanced technologies, innovation in the field of engine industry and the latest design concepts. The final price is traditionally more affordable compared to similar products of European brands.

Mazda 6 is a 5-seater front-wheel drive car. The machine refers to a spacious class "D". Available options Mazda 6 body layouts protrude 4-door sedan and a practical 5-door wagon. The market today presents the third generation of the model, which has previously passed through restyling. The updated version was presented in March 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Toyota Camry is a 5-seater front-wheel drive car. The model is traditionally offered in the only classical layout of the 4-door Sedan body and is the representative of the "D-class". Already seventh generation Toyota Camry in a restyled version was submitted to the general public within the Moscow Auto Show in August 2014.

In this review comparative Test Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry was conducted on machines in top equipment with the maximum expanded package of options that are most in demand among the potential and current owners of the specified cars. Both vehicles received 2.5-liter gasoline atmospheric power units and automatic gearboxes. Mazda 6 Sedan under the hood has a high-tech SkyActiv-G motor and a 6-speed hydrotransformator transmission SkyActiv Drive.Toyota Camry equipped with a DUAL VVT-I motor and a reliable box on 6 gears with a torque converter.

Mazda. 6

Restyling this model did not change much exterior appearance car, but updated version Received a number of noticeable innovations. Most notable front head optics the new Mazda 6, which has now become adaptive, LED and received advanced functionality. Slightly upgraded and the radiator grille, which received more thin "ribs" and got rid of the top chrome insert. Now all the attention is attracted only to the major brand logo.

The profile of the model has retained the swiftness and hint of "Sport", continuing to play the muscles of the large arches of the front wheels and a slope roof. The sedan looks businessily and strictly, while deliberately emphasized the dynamics in the image. The rear of the car is modern and a little aggressive. Single long stop lanterns are slightly tinted and successfully fit into the stern's design under a small "visor" hanging trunk lid. A neat bumper in the bottom attracts attention to the silvery nozzles on the exhaust pipes.

Toyota. Camry.

After updating, the current generation of the model has become even more presentable. Restyling touched the bumpers and design of the radiator lattice, as well as the head optics of the model. The frontal part has a recognizable edging of chromium at the bottom of the massive front bumper. Neat fog lanterns are now deliberately highlighted against the background of other body parts of the car. At the bottom of the black ribs of the black grid of the radiator attract.

The side of Toyota Camry is characterized by simplicity and collaboration. The arches of the wheels are distinct, but without accents. The glazing zone did not receive too soft angles, but also sharp plots in the design minimum. Slightly pulls the profile stamping in the area of \u200b\u200bthe door above the threshold. Such a solution visually "facilitates" big car. The feed of the sedan looks massively and modernly, while maintaining the necessary restraint. The rear lights are large, conventionally divided into the upper and lower part of the silver insert, located along the edge of the wide lid luggage compartment.

The idle of both models is entirely complies with the concept that competing autohydriants from Japan are confirmed in their advanced design. A clear bias is noticeable in the direction of "pseudo-positioning" Mazda 6, which the creators of the new model emphasized all possible ways. It is good or bad, but the sedan continues further from associations with a presentable medium-sized machine for serious business representatives. The car now looks aggressive, reliable and dynamic car. Behind the wheel you expect to see an active young man or a middle-aged driver, which seeks to declare himself and prefers an active drive and a catchy exterior, while moving the presentability and practicality to the background. Toyota Camry turned out to be fully contrast, remaining the right way to their orientation on the audience consistent and confident. The potential buyers of this model will be exclusively male businessmen of middle-aged and elderly, for which comfort, solidity and "classical" restraint in the design of the car above all.

Interior

Mazda. 6

In the cabin of the car used high quality finishing materials. The softness and smoothness of individual parts in the interior perfectly dilute sharp corners and straight lines. Immediately I would like to note the possibility of implementing a combined color Gamma. Salon. The main tone is traditional black, but excellent in color chairs, inserts on door maps, central tunnel and torpedoes are able to significantly revive the car from the inside. The only note caused the total area of \u200b\u200bsuch inserts on the central tunnel, since concerns arose about their wear resistance in this place. According to the quality of assembly and fitting Mazda 6, it demonstrates an unexpectedly high class.

In general design, classical solutions prevail. Innovation can be considered the design of the center console and the Multimedia and navigation system and navigation screen is made separately into the top of the torpedo. The second "highlight" becomes a small transparent projection display under the windshield. Neat blowing deflectors in the center placed under a large color multimedia system. The intra-alone climate control unit is partially combined with a CD slot. The climate control window was narrow and relatively small, but the information is read quite comfortable. Large round chrome regulators were separated from the edges of the information field. You simply interact with them, so change the settings, choose the right mode or the direction of blowing will not be difficult.

Armchairs in the car are convenient, filler dense and elastic. Side support is developed at the middle level, but the profile itself reliably fixes the saddle. The bottom pillow is well released, providing support for the legs. The high central tunnel is made almost on the same level with a wide armrest. Such a solution allows you to interact with a round knotter on the tunnel with the maximum convenience. The steering wheel is covered with high-quality material, has the rim of the middle thickness and does not slide in his hands. The diameter of the multifunction steering wheel is suitable optimally. Dashboard It has three familiar "well" in silver edging. The combination of bright backlight and markup scales allows you to easily perceive information.

Toyota. Camry.

In the interior of the sedan, everything is both familiar and in their places. Designers did not introduce for this model those bold solutions that can be observed in other cars of the Japanese brand. Toyota Camry received the usual layout of the elements. The materials of the finishing of high quality, the assembly and fit of the panels according to their quality comments did not cause. The main color of the key parts of the cabin is black. Diverse the gamut is not the most successful from the aesthetic side of the color insertion "under the tree" on the torpedo, armrest of door cards and the central tunnel. The degree of their practicality and resistance to scratches can be evaluated during operation.

The central console is a place of concentration for most of the car functional systems. Under a small visor hides a narrow monochrome display of electronic hours. Next, there are strict deflectors by blowing a rectangular shape. The large screen of the multimedia system is planted in a rigorous black frame, and the location of this element itself will emphasize chrome sidewalls. At the level of the upper corners of the screen, there were round brilliant medium-sized regulators and vertical rows of function buttons under them. A small narrow screen with direction indicators, temperature testimony and modes of blowing is surrounded by the perimeter with rows of modest black keys.

Chairs in the car have a profile, designed for simplicity and convenience of landing / disembarking. Side support is available, but developed mediocre. The seats are covered with a material of good quality, got a dense and neat stitching of seams. The filler is soft, but in the chair do not fall. The steering wheel is multifunctional, three-spoke, with pleasant skin material. The rim diameter is well selected, and it is also quite convenient to control the car systems using the joystick buttons on the knucky knitting. The dashboard with a convenient markup of the scale and the powerful backlit is standard. The speedometer is located on the right side, the tachometer is located in the left. The space between them occupies a large vertical screen on-board computer.

The interior of sightseeing machines turned out to be cozy, high-quality and stylish. As for the issue of ergonomics, designers and engineers worked well with both Camry and the Japanese "six". Sports Spirit and youth pads can be easily traced in each element of the Mazda salon 6, which literally manites hot saddles with his rapid promise. There was no successful Sedan to Toyota to hurry at all and there is no need for the electronic systems to be built in the interior of the model to the level of the cult. In the cabin reigns a pacifying paw, setting up on a plumbing and unhurried ride. Not dealt with both sedans and without controversial moments. It is noteworthy that the comments received color inserts both in Mazda 6 and to Toyota Camry. In the case of Mazda doubt, their practicality causes their practicality, and in the case of Toyota, aesthetics suffered a little. Anyway, but the difference in the target audience, which was calculated by these machines, is clearly traced at the slightest attempt to compare Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry at this stage. The result of rivalry becomes very conditional, but still the victory of Mazda 6. The car won the duel due to more "modern" design compared to beaten motives performed by the opponent.

Challenges

Mazda. 6

It's time to test cars on the road and a comparative test drive Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry. After starting, we immediately note the balance and silence when the Mazda engine is running 6. We are tightened to the gas pedal and enjoy the noticeable burden of the motor in mode low speed. The automatic box seeks to maintain fuel consumption at the minimum level, does not drive the tachometer arrow above 2-2.5 thousand / revolutions.

The torque is more than enough for the active start and maintaining a specified tempo when the speed set. You can even play "traffic lights", without forgetting to disable the useful I-STOP system, which is shuffling the motor when stopping. If you translate the box to manual control mode, then the machine is changing in front of the eyes. Peak turnover becomes available to the full, the reaction to the gas pedal is surprised by sharpness. The return from the motor in a bundle with a well-minded automatic transmission was pleasantly pleased.

Mazda 6 chassis has MacPherson Fronts and a multi-line suspension design from behind. With such a chassis, there are various small cracks and small holes are obtained with maximum comfort, since the car tries not to remind these flaws under the wheels with their seats. More serious coating defects end with shaking in the cabin, while there is little from the dimension of wheels. For a relaxed ride on a flat asphalt tracking the suspension and softness is enough.

On the track the picture is a bit different. The car presses to the asphalt, the steering is becoming more informative. In the corners, the sedan is perfectly cling to the trajectory, only occasionally and at high speed resembles a possible demolition along the axes. There are practically no significant rolls on the "arc". Concerning brake system, This node is well customized. The pedal tightly blocks the wheels closer to the middle of the course, leaving the opportunity for soft braking in the "top".

Toyota. Camry.

Apply to the opponent and compare what is better: Mazda 6 or Toyota Camry? Run the power unit. Noise isolation and protection against vibrations are clearly improved compared to previous versions Models. The engine works barely noticeably, without a "nervous tick" on the steering wheel. Pressing the gas pedal provides smooth pickup. The dynamics is not racing, but the thrust is confident, which provides quite predictable behavior of the car. The 6-step AISIN is configured to save fuel. If you raise the revolutions above 3 thousand, then a decent power reserve is felt.

A large sedan comes to life noticeably as with a speed set and in the process of further maintenance speed \u200b\u200bregime. Automatic box works without complaints. The solution is hydrotransformer and reliable, no "robots". The moment of switching remains invisible to the driver in calm modes, the motor thrust is distributed smoothly. Tandem of the power unit and gearbox provides confident ride. Lovers of the active drive can also count on a light "light", but short pauses appear in a dynamic mode with a sharp impact on the gas pedal.

Toyota Camry has McPherson for the front and multi-block suspension from behind. The chassis settings are aimed at achieving total comfort. The car literally "floats" in small and medium irregularities, while silence in the cabin. Deep pits slightly shake the saddles, but no more. Restyling has made a number of changes to individual nodes of the running, so the smoothness of Toyota Camry is excellent.

The controllability of the model is worthy, the rolls are present, but demolitions are minimal. Steering Saved a certain sharpness, although informativeness at the speed is far from the highest. But turn the steering wheel is easy, especially thanks to the successful settings of the electric power. The only remark was that from one extreme point to another turning the wheels not quite convenient, as it is necessary to make a little more than three full rollets. Brakes are reliable, the car is smoothly and without clutch nose slows down from any speeds.

Test drive of overview models allows you to answer which car is better: Mazda 6 or Toyota Camry. Motor excitement and driving Mazda provide active and even aggressive ride. At the same time, the comfort suffered a little. The noise insulation of the wheeled arches also reminded himself a rustling of tires in the cabin. Toyota Camry turned out to be restrained and soft, with a margin of "horses" under the hood. If we consider that these cars are originally focused on business representatives, then the advantages of Toyota at this comparison stage are obvious. Improved handling and outstanding dynamics of "six" flashes against the background of the reference smoothness of the course and the finalized protection of the floor, doors and the arches from the external noise to Toyota Camry. The machine for business should be imputable, quiet and solid, and also to be able to overclock. With this task, Toyota engineers coped to the fullest. Mazda 6 is able to surprise with its accelerated dynamics and a sharp steering wheel, but comfort in this car turned out noticeably less against the background of a solid competitor.

Capacity of the cabin and trunk

Mazda. 6

On the front row of seats there is enough space in width and height. Even the powerful and wide central tunnel does not constrain the widespread sidewal feet. Low landing in chairs allows you to feel free enough, there is a stock of space over your head. The driver will need a minimum of time in order to adjust the chair for the full amenities of landing and comfortable interaction with the pedal node. The departure of the bottom pillow perfectly copes with the function support for the legs, and the back literally merges with the back of the chair.

On the back row of Mazda 6 in the width of the place is quite enough for three passengers. It turns out a little closely, but acceptable. The angle of inclination of the back and the very pillow of the sofa leaves a bit of "air" above the head of high people, but the reserve is meager. The attachment of the roof in this case makes itself felt, although with an average growth of the rear passengers there are no problems. The wheelbase allows you to say that the inhabitants of the sofa will not be resting knees in the backrest of the front seats.

The trunk in the sedan is a standard solution for this class. Loading opening is wide, it is also highlighted and sufficient height. The loops of the cover partially take away the useful space, but there were no significant problems when loading high boxes was noticed. For everyday use of such indicators of the capacity of the luggage compartment, it is quite enough.

Toyota. Camry.

The front row of seats provides an acceptable stock of space in width and height. In the shoulders there is not the slightest hint of pressure, the width of the tunnel is noticeably divided by the front chairs. For the increasing drivers, there will be no so much space above your head, but the problem solves the seat as much as possible. It is convenient to get to the pedals with any cushion and backs settings due to the excellent ergonomics of the pedal node.

In the back row, three passengers are quite comfortable. It is noteworthy that in height of the supply is sufficient, even sedaws with rising above average are not resting in the ceiling. Such an indicator became available thanks to a relatively flat roof and a well-selected tilt of the back. There is enough space for the feet, the impressive wheelbase allows not to sign the front row of the chairs with the knees.

In the trunk, Toyota Camry is realized enough depth, the overall capacity of the capacity in the middle class. Loading opening of the sedan is acceptable in width and height. Without significant difficulties, it is possible to place the volumetric swing in the form of boxes or other inventory.

Economy

Safety

Both cars demonstrated a high level of protection of their passengers. To answer the question of what is better, Mazda 6 or Toyota Camry, let's get acquainted with the results of crash tests. Mazda 6th european system Euro NCAP received a maximum rating of 5 out of 5 points. Toyota Camry on Euroncap was not tested, but the car took part in the NHTSA crash test series (American National Traffic Security Management on the track). American tests allowed to identify the shortcomings, which provided Toyota only four stars. It can be created that Toyota Camry is greatly inferior to Mazda 6 on security, but it is necessary to separately take into account the increased demanding of American tests to certain points relatively to those according to the EUROnCAP system. We will allow ourselves to put these cars for one step.

Cost of models

• Price overview Mazda 6 in the maximum configuration without a run: about $ 3,700 dollars.
• The price of the Toyota Camry review in the maximum configuration in without a run: about 38,000 US dollars.

Next, try to answer another important question, what is more expensive in service, Mazda 6 or Toyota Camry? If you contact official sources and analyze the cost of service on official dealerships, then planned maintenance Toyota turns out a little cheaper compared to Mazda. This statement is true for the cost of the norms of work and the prices of basic consumables, as well as technical fluids. If we talk about more serious repair and buying original spare parts, then Toyota Camry is a bit more expensive (10-15%) for a number of common positions.

Now summarize and choose the winner. Toyota Camry leads to the totality of preferred qualities. Among the main arguments in favor of this choice, it is worth noting the settings of the chassis of the car, a fairly powerful power unit and silence in the cabin. Such advantages in the process of daily exploration overlook the first plan compared to the bright exterior and the manageability of Mazda 6.

Man is a conservative creature. We all live, guided by the stereotypes imposed from the outside. In particular, it is believed that Toyota Camry is the perfect car for the official who, after a heavy and tense working day, should sit in the car and without adventure, and the minimum amount of effort to get home. In essence, such an image of Camry is not far from the truth.

But Mazda has many associated with a sample of a truly Japanese style, manifested even in trifles. And in general these cars have little. But times are changing, and today these medium-sized sedans have come close to many indicators. So much that the time has come to their detailed comparison: is it really great differences or what they are inspired by - another myth (or fake, as now it has become fashionable to say)? Let's try to figure it out.

Technical features of models

To get the first impression of these cars, it is worth considering them specifications. It is unlikely that it helps determine what is better, Camry or Mazda 6, but some of the potential buyers will surely leave. There will be those who already on the basis of this comparison will consolidate their preferences.

Exterior

After restyling, spent in 2017, the car became much longer and wider, in favor of American car enthusiasts, preferring big cars. Well, given the volume of sales of the model in the North American market, such a step can be called justified.

But to say that the car has become more elegant, it is definitely impossible. Here just nothing to catch the eye. Yes, the speakers were added, but it is impossible to judge the appearance. Rather, on the contrary, the increase in the dimensions made the car with massive, heavy and smooth. Looking at the side, such an impression becomes prevalent. The situation and massive lattice of the air intake, almost completely replaced the front bumper, is not here. Behind the view of the new Camry, no less depressing - the convex bumper completely does not harmonize with sloping racks, smoothly overgoing in a short trunk lid.

So I want to assume that the facade, profile and rear part The models developed three different constructors, which were forbidden to communicate - they look so divergent.

Mazda 6 was restored in the same 2017, but here traditions were observed -, reminding with their proportions rather a sports car than a sedan. Unlike Camry, the image of the "six" is perceived wholely, the car looks rapid like zipper. And what is interesting - with all its grace, Mazda looks no less solid. Which case, do not look - the advantage on the side of this model, but especially impressive side view: tapering to the front and elevated from the back of the body harmonizes with smooth lines of racks, and thorough the image of the perfect oval of wheeled arches. Experts even compare the model with Jaguar, which, of course, speaks about the talent of Japanese constructors.

So according to the appearance, the question is that better, Toyota Camry or Mazda 6 is inappropriate - TOYOTOVS for this indicator still grow and grow.

Salon and trunk

Leather Salon is an indispensable component of a car similar class. This option is really present in both models. Like a tree panels that do not really look at the place, especially at Camry. It spoils the impression and inexpensive plastic - it seems, here Toyota engineers decided to save a little. As for Falishdeva, the trend has emerged lately, a peculiar trend - to glue a torpedo and a central tunnel with a film imitating carbon, which clearly indicates the imperfection of the interior. And even the multimedia system here, although it is present in all the equipment, the budget options have a monochrome display, which, as the car decreases, becomes colored, and in the end, even get a touchscreen.

The tidy here is easily readable, with soft backlight, which does not cut eyes in complete darkness. The front passenger's chair in expensive equipment is equipped with a otomanka - such a level of comfort is extremely rare, except for representatives of the representative class. The rear sofa is spacious, three passengers will be spacious here for all three measurements. But if there are two people from behind, they will be able to lower the central armrest with the climate control control buttons, seat ventilation and music center. The distance to the front chairs is large, working with a laptop from behind - a pleasure. What you can not say about the front chairs, whose back is not high enough, and the seat itself is so flat, which makes it possible to periodically change the position. In a word, the interior of Toyota is far from perfect, although obvious advantages should not be ignored too: it is the possibility of adjusting the front chairs for three planes and six directions, and good skin quality, and the ability to enable the drive option with memory.

Mazda 6 also has Falchdevo, but it is at least here, only a strip on the front panel and only in top modifications. The central console looks solid due to the finishing of black plastic with a glossy surface. It has a climate system display, showing its current settings, as well as a multimedia control panel, with a small display. The dashboard at the Sixters corresponds to fashion trends - the wells scales are very deep, so that the readings do not arise with problems, even if the sun shines directly on the "tidy". But the backlight is too bright, in the dark, the time will need time to adapt, which, of course, is a big minus. Leather finish complaints does not cause. Front leather perforated, eliminating the effect of sliding when the car goes into steep turns.

In general, comparing the interiors of Toyota Camry and Mazda 6 again not in favor of the first model. But the "Sixters" have certain disadvantages. For example, a lot of space is much less - the smaller width of the car is also affected, and the orientation on a sports silhouette with a low-planted roof. In a word, three adults on the sofa will be cleared, especially fat and high. But for two rear passengers, the comfort level will be not less than in Camry.

Engines and transmissions

As you can see, Toyota designers are not too chasing beauty, preferring to improve safety and comfort for driver / passengers. So outside and inside Mazda 6 looks not just preferable - it is headed above the competitor. And after the last restyling in the Mazda motor range, a long-awaited turbocharged engine has appeared. The 2.5-liter SkyActiv-G justifies its ability to develop 232 liters. from. The maximum torque is achieved at two thousand turns and is 420 nm.

At all modifications without exception, sixdiabands are installed automatic gearbox. We also note that proven and well-manifested atmospheric force aggregates were also subjected to modernization, which allowed to improve their characteristics. So, a two-liter four is now capable of developing 150 "horses", with a maximum cr. Moment of 215 nm, achieved at 4 thousand revolutions / minutes. The 2.5-liter engine producing 195 liters has become more powerful. from. and 259 nm at 4000 revolutions / minutes.

Camry, unfortunately, after restyling under the hood did not appear. Pensioners remained - a time-tested double-liter 150-strong 6Ar-FSE power unit, as well as a more powerful 2.5-liter fellow 2Ar-Fe, which develops 180 horsepower. Both engines are aggregated with a full-fledged sixdiaband machine.

But there is a novelty - a 3.5-liter six-cylinder atmospheric, designated as 2GR-FKS. This engine is characterized by the presence of an upgraded combined injection system, as well as a hydraulic phase beam built into the intake path, which can change phases in a dynamic mode in a sufficiently wide range. In the US, this motor operates at a maximum, issuing 305 "horses", but a version of 249 horsepower restriction is supplied to Russia - so more profitable in terms of taxation. With such an engine running an eighty-band machine.

As we can see, the Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry engines are retaining an approximate parity, although it depends on the user preferences here.

Dynamics, fuel consumption

Since both models are considered to be those equipped with 2.5-liter engines, it would be logical to compare Camry and Mazda 6, under the hood of which these power units are hidden:

As you can see, the comparison is again not in favor of Toyota. Camry and after the modernization, marked by the change of generations, remains a leisurely machine. Pressing the accelerator pedal has the appropriate return only after a certain delay. Such an effect is characteristic of turbocharged motors with a deficiency of thrust on low revs. But in this case, the culprit of delays is automatic box. An option with a 3.5-liter engine has the same problems because here it uses almost the same box, upgraded to 8 ranges.

Although the transfers here are long, on fuel economy it does not affect - in urban mode, consumption can reach 15 liters, and in terms of less than 10 l / 100 km in the city it is not necessary to calculate, even if you completely eliminate traffic in traffic jams.

Mazda in all respects is better. According to the dynamics, she will give odds to a competitor in any modes and conditions, be it a high-speed auto track or racing track. Acceleration to "hundreds" during the time, less than 8 seconds is an extra-class indicator characteristic of the sports machine than for a sedan, and even such a dimensional and heavy. The Madovsky sixdia band machine works much shunter, and the motor reacts to the accelerator pedal almost instantly - many compare its dynamics with time when the motors were not limited due to the hard requirements of environmental standards. We add that the application of SkyActiv branded technology made it possible to make Mazda engines in the most economical in the category of medium-sized business class sedans - even with an active urban ride, the indicator of less than 8 l / 100 km is rather typical than amazing.

Handling and security

We have already noted that externally Camry seems heavy, slow and slow. In general, such characteristics correspond to reality, but what the Toyota does not take away, so it is an unprecedented smoothness of the course. If you have not previously come across business class cars, you will definitely feel a huge difference. Small defects of the Camry road cannon does not feel at neither fast or slow ride. You will be able to feel soft shocks only when driving a car wheel on serious irregularities like a lying policeman or large-scale chosel.

But, as is known, handling and comfortableness - antagonistic concepts. So with handling here is not so good. As we have already noted, Camry has become reacting to pressing the gas pedal, but also the same story with the board - newcomers need a lot of time to adapt to such behavior of the machine.

The Mazda suspension has much hard, thanks to which the image of a car with sports inclinations was firmly fixed for this model. You will not see the roll on speed turns here, which allows the car confidently feel on the tracks with a complex geometry and relief.

Of course, serious irregularities unnoticed will not remain - on the part of the comfortability of Mazda 6 is not the most best sedan. Another notable drawback is an increased noise of the car. Although attempted in this direction and attempts to correct the situation, Sixer and today is considered noisy car. To such an extent that, having driven 300-400 kilometers, you will want to stop and give to relax your ears.

Comparison of Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry on this criterion demonstrates that if you like a comfortable ride, then here is a Camry explicit leader, and if your prerogative is a speed, then Mazda will be clearly preferable.

Service cost

Due to certain circumstances, this characteristic of the car is of great importance, as. If you are a responsible car owner and do not miss a visit to official dealer centers for regulatory maintenance, then definite Mazda service will cost you more.

The fact is that the cost of Normochas and the cost of most consumables from the "six" above. But if serious repair is required, and you prefer to use only original spare parts, then the situation will change no longer in favor of Toyota, and significantly - on average percent for 10.

Configuration and prices

Both models represent one price group. Of course, the differences in the configuration are available, and it is they can increasing the scales in one direction or another.

Mazda 6 In the minimum configuration with a two-liter motor costs 1.45 million rubles, the corresponding setting "Standard" at Camry will cost the buyer at 1.52 million.

Toyota Camry model range has 7 complete sets. Topova is an Executive Safety, equipped with an 8-range automatic transmission and a 3.5-liter power unit. It costs from 2.43 million rubles.

Already in the basic version, Camry is equipped with LED head optics and fog, also on LED lamps, alloy disks, electroregulation of outer mirrors, electric windows of all windows with AUTO function, rain sensor, motor start button. The list of passive safety and electronic assistants is also extensive - 4 PB (front / side), security curtains, start assistant on the slope, ABS / EBD systems.

Mazda 4 configurations, three of them are equipped with atmospheric engines, and the 2.5-liter turbocharged unit is available only in the top modification of Executive Plus 2019, the price tag for which is 2.17 million rubles.

In the basic configuration, you will receive LED optics, 2-zone climates control, front / rear electric windows, electric heating front armchairs, frontal curtains / airbags, full electric car on external mirrors, ABS / EBD and a pressure level control function in tires.

What model to give preference

Finding in one price category - This is perhaps the only thing that unites these cars. In all the rest, they are very different. And it's not so much in technical specifications as in the philosophy of models, each of which is not new to the market. Toyota Camry is perceived as a strict, reliable car, ideal for the middle age group, and Mazda 6 has a reputation as a rebel, which prefers active young people. Of course, such a maxim can be called quite conditional, but they will not argue with statistical calculations.

What to choose from the reliability point of view, Mazda 6 or Toyota Camry? Brand Toyota. This indicator is generally considered unconditional leader, and this model - not an exception. Yes, its dynamics and high-speed capabilities are not so good, but if you feel about the category of responsible drivers who prefer to avoid all sorts of risks, then your choice is unequivocal.

As for the cost, then, in the opinion of many specialists, Toyota has a slightly overestimated price tags, and such a tendency is observed from year to year. If you take into account the high-speed quality of the car and fuel consumption indicators, then Mazda, standing a little less, looks more preferable.

But in the calculation you need to take not only the current cost of the car, but the cost of its content. If the car is new, then here the advantage on the side of Camry - price tags in official car services speak in favor of this model. But with age, the situation changes - spare parts for the sixth Mazda cost an average of 10-15%, and this should also be taken into account, especially if you practice the frequent change of machines.

Is it possible on the basis of the foregoing to sum up? Yes, of course. Toyota is considered a sample of reliability, but also Mazda in this component is strong. And the comparison is clearly not in favor of Camry, and for many potential buyers it is a fundamental factor. According to the control of Sixer, too, a step in front, but for Russian roads Toyota is better - It is much more comfortable. Finally, it is impossible not to note the differences in the exterior. If it is important for you to be the owner of a bright car, then Camry is clearly not your choice. And one more point: Mazda is positioned as a car designed for people who loving speed, drive. It is so, but no one forbids you ride on it as you are accustomed.

In a word, we would prefer the "six". But you, of course, may be other preferences, so we are not going to impose your opinion - the final conclusions to do you.

Many men dream of have a lot of money, the best wife and the fastest car. In the car, first of all, it looks at the design, interior, technical characteristics, safety, complete set and cost. These bars are very popular among the population of the middle class. Competition in this market is very large and developers worth working to combine all qualities together.

Safety of machines

Mazda 6 has side computers, satellite navigation with a touch display. In Toyota Camry, there is airbags for the driver, in more expensive models there are also pillows for leg protection.

Interior models

Both models are worked out on high level. Not a big drawback is that a high person will be uncomfortable in it, we hope that in the future it will be corrected. IN salon Toyota. Comfortable, also for the driver there is a mirror that will not allow to blind the driver with light headlights riding cars.

Specifications

At Toyota is a 2.4 liter four-stroke engine, 9.5 liters of gasoline spend 100 kilometers, which gives 181 horsepower. Mazda 6 has a 2.5 liter engine equivalent to 192 horsepower. Consumption 100 kilometers 10-11 liters of gasoline.
Mazda 6 accelerates 10.6 seconds to 100km / hour, and Toyota Camry for 9.

Comparative analysis of Toyota Camry, Nissan Teana., Mazda6.

Each seller dreams of finding an inexhaustible stream of customers. But what do you need to do for this? What consumer qualities should the car have to sell well?

I decided to test 3 car class D (D +) and compare them for some parameters to have a view which car to choose, having certain preferences.

Toyota Camry test drives, Nissan Teana I was held recently and you can read about it in the records,

Test Mazda 6 took place last year - you can read in the record, but to refresh the memories, I passed the vehicle test drive once again literally 3 weeks ago in.

For clarity, I will evaluate cars on a 5-point scale that to identify the winner on the totality of qualities. Estimates will be subjective, based on their own experience.

We estimate the design. Of the three cars presented the most beautiful, I consider Mazda 6 - 5 points, on 19 discs the car looks very beautiful. But practicality is no, but about it in another point.

Second place I would give Nissan Teana - 4 points out of five possible. The car looks more interesting and modern compared to the predecessor.

Third place Toyota Camry - 3 points. Appearance is not thrown, over time you get used to it, but everything without emotions.

Toyota Camry

In the interior, I liked Nissan Teana, a comfortable and beautiful instrument panel, a spacious interior, materials are modern and collected everything qualitatively. 5 points.

Mazda6 salon is cleared. The instrument panel is generally not bad, there are claims to numbers, to top it is necessary to get used to read readings from the side computer. The console looks beautiful, climate control is decorated with lacquered elements. 4 points.

In Toyota Camry, you can mark a large and spacious salon. Inserts under the tree look in a poor, but still as it were, "not to the place." "Prehistoric" instrument panel. 3 points.

Dynamic characteristics.

In terms of overclocking Mazda 6 and Camry, although Mazda 6 is equipped with a more powerful engine 192 hp, 256 n / m torque at turns 3250, overclocking up to 100 km / h in 7.8 seconds.

Toyota Camry 181 hp 231 N / m Torque when revolutions 4100, acceleration up to 100 in 9 seconds.

Nissan Teana in this discipline is significantly lagging behind: 172l.s., the maximum torque is 234 N / m at 4000 turns, overclocking to hundreds for 9.8 seconds.

Accordingly, we will separate the scores: Mazda 5 points, Camry 4 points, TEANA 3 points.

Smoothness, comfort.

Most comfortable car In my opinion it is Toyota Camry, it is soft suspension, and good noise insulation. On the car it is pleasant to go to long distances. 5 points.

Nissan Teana Pendant Neighworous, so the car is not as small as Camry, but for the same reason it is less comfortable, especially for not very good roads. No sound insulation. 4 points.

Mazda 6 elastically soft suspension, along a good road to go pretty comfortable. But if the coating becomes worse, the profile of the road begins to be felt. Of course, an important role is played in this and 19 "beautiful wheel disks. On a smaller radius, the car will be more comfortable. And of all three Mazda 6 cars has the worst noise insulation. 3 points.

Fuel consumption.

All cars are equipped with 2.5 liter atmospheric engines. Manufacturers claim that engineer engines. During the test drive, everything was approximately consumed the same amount of fuel 11-12 liters per 100 km / h. In this standings, much depends on the driver's management manner and from the situation on the roads of the city. Although Mazda 6 with its technology SkyActiv promises greater fuel economy. Points for consumption - Mazda 5 points, Camry 4 points, TEANA 4 points.

Mazda6, 2.5 liter engine, 6-speed automatic

Cost and service interval.

The cost of servicing all cars is approximately the same, if you purchase consumables and spare parts yourself, it will be even cheaper. But, the interservice interval at Mazda 6 and Nissan Teana 15 thousand km or 1 time per year, and at Toyota Camry 10 thousand or 1 time per year. From here, we can conclude that if you take maintenance on Camry on run, then expenses will be more.

Mazda 6, Nissan Teana - 5 points, Camry - 4 points.

Liquidity.

Sooner or later, but every owner of the car thinks about selling his iron horse. In this regard, Toyota Camry has a big advantage, as our people love cars of this brand. Toyota Camry 5 points.

Mazda 6 also takes great popularity, but a little inferior to Camry. Therefore, Mazda 6 4 points.

Nissan Teana is the most unpopular car, so it will be more difficult to sell it, so TEANA gets 3 points.

Hijaciousness

Casco on Camry and Mazda 6 is estimated at about 120 thousand rubles, cars in the risk group and invigrate them quite often. Therefore, Camry 2 points, Mazda6 3 points.

Nissan Teana 5 points. Honestly I have never heard that the car is popular among the hijackers.

Reliability.

It is known that Japanese cars are reliable. I assume that there may be any flaws russian assemblySince Camry and Teana are going under St. Petersburg, Mazda6 in Vladivostok.

All put 4 points.

Let's summarize. Toyota Camry - 64 points, Nissan TEANA - 64 points, Mazda 6 - 70 points.

In my test, Mazda 6 won, but all this is subjective.

In my opinion, Camry is suitable for those who love comfort and no more than 10 thousand km runs into the year. Mazda 6 more youth car is most likely suitable for active drivers. TEANA for calm drivers, but sometimes loving to ride with the breeze.
