The new Mazda6 sedan will hit the North American showrooms starting January next year carrying a starting price of $20,880, excluding a $795 destination fee. Power is provided by a SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter DOHC gasoline engine offering 184 horsepower.

The four-cylinder unit is linked to a six-speed manual transmission, fuel economy figures for this configuration being not available yet.
