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

Comparative analysis 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 with on-board computer. The console looks beautiful, climate control is decorated with lacquered elements. 4 points.

In Toyota Camry, you can mark a large and spacious interior. 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.

The most comfortable car in my opinion 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 from all three mazda cars 6 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.

Comparing such known brands Japanese car manufacturers like Mazda 6 or Auto Toyota Camry, it must be remembered that this technique has many similar features and a minimum of discrepancies. Both cars are designed for the same segment of buyers.

It should be noted in advance that the most objective will be a comparison of cars equivalent by configuration and belonging to about one period of release. This comparison will be involved in the model in the maximum configuration - Toyota Camry of the 7th generation of 2014 release and Mazda 6 of the 3rd generation of 2015. Both machines are equipped with maximum volume engines - 2.5 liters. To be more accurate, Camry for most markets, in addition to domestic, has a somewhat larger engine volume, but in 2013 it has been reduced to comply with the requirements of the road collection rate. Such a move raised the competitiveness of the model.

On both models of cars installed six-speed box automata.

Exterior of cars

They have almost identical dimensionsBut Camry or Auto Mazda 6 cannot be confused, they look so differently. Mazda profile is more rapid, approaching sports. Salon is somewhat shifted back, with the result that the six reminds a little sports car.

A Toyota looks completely different, having a massive, more rigorous and presentable body. Thanks to such details, it can be assumed that Mazda is more suitable for young and active people, and Toyota, opposite, power and solid businessmen who value comfort and rigor above external view and speed.

Salon

Ergonomics of controls in both cars is quite thoughtful, and therefore it is very difficult to compare. Climate control authorities, acoustics are easily accessible and intuitive.

The instrument panel in the Mazda is made in black and gray shades without special excesses. In Toyota, many cause decorative inserts under the tree on a torpedo, central tunnel and door cards.

It is impossible to say what car is better than the seat, since they are very high quality in all embodiments. Softeful in Mazda and dense in Toyota, they do not cause discomfort in long-distance travel, because they have a convenient profile, developed lateral support and support for the legs.

A comparison of the place for the rear passengers will not be in favor of Mazda 6, as it has a lower ceiling, and at a high passenger on rear seat There is a chance to get your head to the ceiling. At the same time, the dimensions of the cabin in width and length are sufficient for the comfortable placement of passengers of any growth, even with a completely advanced driver's seat.

Challenges

The same engine power and an equal number of switching steps in the automatic transmission does not yet indicate that the driving quality of cars will be the same. Mazda 6 vs Auto Toyota Camry in this comparison a little wins, because it is characterized by noticeably better dynamics with a smaller fuel consumption.

The test drive shows that the Mazda automatic transmission smoothly and imperceptibly switches the transmissions without signs of thoughtfulness, clearly reacting to the position of the pedal, while Toyota behaves more confidently behaves with a measured ride style. When you try to increase the dynamics, small delays of the machine reaction to press the gas pedal appear. Yes, and fuel consumption, even when driving on the highway, not clearly in favor of Toyota.

The handling of both cars is excellent at any speeds, rolls in turns, of course, are present, but demolitions are not observed.

Tell me steering, Mazda is more informative, the steering wheel is clearer here. Brakes are clear and confident, there are no complaints in any of the compaable cars.

The suspension is made in the usual way - in front of an inexpensive MacPherson, and the back is the usual multi-dimensional. Setting the suspension elements is better at Toyota. This is noticeable when driving on uneven roads. Mazda has a large part of large irregularities is transmitted by unpleasant and well-distinguishable blows in the body. It aggravates the situation and weaker insulation of the cabin, especially the wheeled arches.

Luggage compartment

Both machines have a good spacious trunk, with a standard volume for cars of this class - within 500 liters. Loading opening is sufficient for dimensions to put volumetric boxes or other overall cargo. The size of the luggage compartment can be increased if folded a number of rear seats.

Safety

Competitors provide a high level of safety of the driver and passengers due to the presence of a complete set of airbags and a thorough design of body elements. According to the results of crash tests, both cars received the maximum number of points.

General advantages and disadvantages

In general, both cars are almost equivalent. The largest drawbacks of Mazda are weak noise insulation, low salon and stiffness of the suspension. Advantages are excellent dynamics and management, efficiency, elegant appearance.

Toyota disadvantages are sluggish steering, low efficiency, shortcomings in the design of the cabin. Advantages - a spacious interior, a soft suspension, excellent noise insulation.

The cost of maintenance in Mazda is somewhat higher, but the cost of spare parts, on the contrary, is lower than that of Toyota. Consequently, the cost of a new and old car Will be very different in both cases. It is necessary to take into account, given the age of the acquired car and the term that is assumed to be opened.

conclusions

When comparing the external and internal qualities of such cars, like Toyota Camry or Mazda 6, you need to understand that, being in the same class, they are designed for different categories of owners. Bright and dynamic Mazda is more suitable for young and middle-aged people who love dynamic style ride. Toyota, as a more executive car, is intended for solid, business consumers who are more appreciated comfort and prestigious look, are not particularly hurry, preferring power and dimension.

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 their 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. Dashboard Sixters corresponds to fashion trends - the wells scales are very deep, so that the readings do not have problems, even if the sun shines directly to 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 power unit 6A-FSE, as well as a more powerful 2.5-liter fellow 2Ar-Fe, which develops 180 horse power. 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.

Total the lineup Toyota Camry has 7 complete sets. Topova is an Executive Safety, equipped with an 8-range automatic transmission and 3.5-liter force aggregate. 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 specificationsHow many models in the philosophy, each of which is not new to the market. Toyota Camry is perceived as strict, reliable car, Ideal for the average 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 sixth Mazda. It is cheaper on average by 10-15%, and this should also be taken into account, especially if you practice 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 manageability 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.

Toyota Camry and Mazda 6 are representatives of the Japanese automotive industry, which is considered one of the leading in the world. Both cars are quite popular among motorists, so they successfully compete in the global market with European and American models. Japanese cars are traditionally distinguished by advanced developments and technologies, as well as bold design solutions, but their price remains at a very adequate level, which benefits them to allocate them among many similar cars from the same Europe.

But inside the Japanese car industry there are many cars of about one price category, so motorists often it is often very difficult to make a choice in favor of a model or another. In particular, many wonder what is better - Mazda 6 series or Toyota Camry. Let us try to understand this issue more, appreciating their main technical characteristics.

The appearance of both cars is at a high level, which in itself is understandable, because they are the brainchild of the Japanese car industry. But if you compare them with each other, you can say with confidence that there is a lot of extremely small in them.

Toyota Camry is traditionally presented in the form of a certain monumental image, which at first glance seems to be careless, but in the meantime it is functional and reliable. The reliability of the body is combined with smooth lines, as well as a small amount of chrome finish. There are also 17-inch discs on the car. For many, such a design will seem sufficiently unpretentious, but such a strict style is perfect for motorists of the middle age category, which love comfort and restraint in everything.

Mazda 6 has a more dynamic manner, as well as sport lines. The exterior is quite original, the body is characterized by a spectacular chrome finish. 19-inch discs look quite aggressively that once again Stresses the overall sporty image. Mazda cars always looked quite screaming, with the causing exterior, but there is nothing superfluous, so the design of the sixth model is quite organic. It is safe to say that Mazda 6 is an excellent choice for young and ambitious motorists who want to be noticeable in the overall movement strip.

Rigor or modernity - what is better for the interior of the car?

Comparison of Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry can be started with the fact that the interior decoration of these cars fully corresponds to their exterior. Toyota Camry is characterized by a rather strict interior, in which minimalism predominate and simplicity of lines. Meanwhile, the material of the finish is distinguished by high quality, so the inner decoration is quite consistent with the business person. In the cabin, black color prevails, but there are colored inserts, imitating wood - not the most successful move in our opinion.

This advantage of Camry is a modern multimedia system with a display. high definitionWhat allows you to get a high-quality picture. The car's interior is quite spacious, the rear sofa is also characterized by sufficient capacity. By the way, behind riding it is very comfortable, because the distance to the front seats is not enough for the ride itself, but also for working on laptops and tablets. This once again confirms the thesis that Camry is beautiful car For business people.

With the front chairs, everything is not so rosy. Ownership reviews suggest that the seat back is low enough, which reduces comfort when driving. But there are certain advantages:

• The upholstery of the chairs is very comfortable and pleasant to the touch. It is made of genuine leather, which adds a gloss shared mind.
• The chair can be adjusted in six direction options.
• You can install a memory drive.

As for Mazda 6, the interior of this car is characterized by more modern finishes and design. This can be noticed even on the design of control levers and buttons on the panel, as well as the appearance of the seats. There is also a lot of black in the cabin, but there are several light inserts - on the seats, doors, etc. A fairly good solution that allows you to slightly dilute the lack of colors of the cabin.

The multimedia system turned out to be quite simple if compared with Toyota Camry. The displays is small, so you can forget about a clear picture. But here there is one very interesting solution - the central console is quite original, as well as the navigation and multimedia system made in a separate part.

What to choose if in each salon there are its minuses and its advantages?

From the point of view of the driver's comfort, in our opinion, Mazda 6 looks preferable, but the rear sofa of this car is quite small, so it is unlikely to fit more than two adults. Toyota in this regard looks a more spacious model, but the interior does not differ in some kind of delight and originality. Therefore, if you prefer a quick ride and drive, then it is best for you that Mazda 6 series will fit.

Main technical characteristics

The interior and exterior of the car are important components, but most motorists appreciate them for driving performance And behavior on the road. The test drive of these models has shown that they almost completely showed the correspondence of their appearance and ride on the track.

Toyota Camry still confirms its reputation for a non-spiritual and measured car. It seems that even this very slowness is more than the situation requires. After pressing the gas, the car does not immediately begin its movement - it seems that it seems that it does not use traction in small revolutions. At the same time, such neatness absolutely does not affect the economy of fuel.

But there are also unconditional positive moments. Toyota Camry distinguishes exceptional smoothness, so you will not notice the pavement flaw when driving on this car. This sedan holds the road perfectly, so only very deep pits or open hatches of sewage can be removed from equilibrium. This plus has the same reverse side - the handling of Camry leaves much to be desired. The car is not only late reacts to the press of the gas pedal, but also on the rotation of the steering column, which makes worry about when entering the turn.

Camry under the sight of camcorders with dissection of flaws

Comparing the driving characteristics of these models, then a rather interesting situation is evaporated:

• Acceleration to 100 km per hour - Mazda 6 (7.8 sec), Toyota Camry (9 seconds).
• Maximum speed - Mazda 6 (223 km per hour), Camry (210 km per hour).
• Engine power index - 192 hp Mazda 6 and 180 hp Toyota Camry.

Based on these indicators, it is safe to say that Mazda 6 versions will benefit from Camry with an avid advantage. This is also talking about overclocking up to 100 km, which the "six" is only 7.8 seconds, which corresponds more sports carand not sedan. At the same time, the fuel consumption in Mazda is significantly less - about 8.7 liters in urban conditions, 6.5 liters outside the city. This has become possible, thanks to the use of SkyActiv technology.

Also, this car characterizes a sufficiently rigid suspension. This circumstance allows you to quietly enter even the coolest devices and turns. Again, the stiffness of the suspension feels at any obstacles. At the same time, it is all - and the driver, and the passengers themselves. Mazda 6 versions looks more perfect than other configuration of this brand, but it is also quite weak noise insulation. Therefore, after 300 kilometers the road can be elementary to get tired of the engine noise.

Let us consider in more detail the technical data that allows you to compare these models of the Japanese car industry.

Technical characteristics of Mazda. 6:

• Body type - sedan.
• The volume of the engine is 2488 cm3.
• Drive type - front.
• PPC - 6 automatic transmission.
• Fuel type - 95 gasoline.
• The average fuel consumption is 8.7 liters in urban conditions, 6.5 liters outside the city.
• Car length - 487 cm.
• Width - 184 cm.
• Height - 145 cm.
• Clearance ( ground clearance) - 16.5 cm.
• Tire size - 45 R19.
• Weight - 1978 kg.
• Tank (volume) - 62 liters.

Now consider similar characteristics for Toyota Camry:

Summing up

It is safe to say that these two cars are absolutely different models, though produced in one country. Not only dimensions, technical data and interior are different, but also the philosophy of these cars. If Toyota Camry is considered as a strict, measured and reliable car for middle-aged business people, then Mazda 6 looks on her background a real rebellion and a drive car. Of course, this is very conditional, but there is such an impression.

What is more reliable? If we consider from this side, then most likely it is Camry. The car has sufficiently small high-speed data, so it is perfect for pragmatic people who are not even loving once again risks. The cost of this car is somewhat higher - about 38 thousand dollars, while Mazda 6 costs about 37 thousand. In our opinion, the price of Toyota is somewhat overestimated, given the tests of speed, as well big flow Fuel.

But the question of the benefit is formed not only on the basis of the value of the model itself, but also further maintenance costs. So, the operation of Camry finds itself more profitable if you judge maintenance In official dealerships. However, the repair and purchase of original components will cost for Toyota more expensive - about 15 percent. In any case, the question of choosing a car is a fairly subjective moment, so our task was only to carry out a general comparison of these models.

Safety

Both models possess high levels Protection of passengers. In search of a response to the question of what is better - or Mazda, let's look at the test results for collision and safety.

Sixer european system EURONCAP received a five-point assessment.

According to European standards have not been tested. But it was checked in NHTSA tests.

Crash Tests showed a number of shortcomings, because of which only 4 stars out of five were assigned.

You might think that Mazda is strongly inferior, but it is worth considering the overestimation of NHTSA to certain moments in comparison with Euro NCAP.. We believe that the safety and security of passengers in these sedans are at the same level.

Challenges

In Europe, the Mazda Universal is well for sale 6

Outdoor and inner type of car of course important elements choice, but many rely on the running quality, behavior on the track. Choosing an iron friend for himself, consider that the machines were created under a significant distinguished psychotype of drivers.

Sixer is embodied dynamics, aggression in a moderate version.

This is manifested in managing, interior, exterior. Hard suspension also works on sports image. During sharp turns, rolls neither left left or right.

We'll have to like fans of a calm leisure ride with comfort, accustomed to fully monitor the situation. She will not give you sharp sensations. Here is the main difference with the competitor - phlegmology in management.

Slowly responds to the movement of the steering wheel. The smoothness of the stroke provides a six-speed box - automatic. Reliable brakes - allow the car smoothly, without whining to slow down after any acceleration. Behind the wheel there are no sensations of rapid dynamics. But if you are alien to such emotions, it is suitable as it is impossible.

Mazda accelerates the best acceleration for atmospheric gasoline engines The volume of 2500 cubes - for 7.8 seconds to 100 meters.

In this segment it best result. Of course, it is achieved at the expense of increased fuel consumption at the included sports mode Gearbox. The gasoline level will fall directly before the eyes. Another disadvantage is insufficient insulation of the cabin, which does not cope with its task.

Comparative test drive Mazda 6 and showed a complete correspondence to the imagine behavior in motion.

Cost of models with 2.5 engines

Mazda 6 with a 2.5 engine in the maximum configuration costs about $ 32,000. Product available cost for this class. With the engine 2.5 at the most expensive version is offered about the same money.
