For whom will the presented versions be acceptable?

So, we made a comparison of Mazda-3 and Mazda-6. What's better? We can say that the 6th version of the functional equipment is ahead of the "Troika". It is better for long journeys on the highway. Also this car Ideal for a large family, because the spacious salon allows you to comfortably accommodate children, animals. Some choose the "Universal" model, as much as possible using a spacious trunk.

If you choose that it is better - Mazda-3 or Mazda-6 for young people living in the rhythm of the city, then this is Mazda-3. An obvious plus is a small fuel consumption, maneuverability and convenience in parking. Small sizes allow the Iron Horse to fit even on small sites intended for parking.

In January 1980, Celica Camry came to the Japanese market, which, despite the name, was designed on the basis of the then Carina. The medium-sized sedan with chopped edges has not lived for a long time, but his name was not lost. And if about the same Selik in Russia, it will remember except that the big fan of Toyota, then everything knows about Camry. At first it was allocated to the original model, and then, in favor of the growing market of North America, increased, including stylish. So, they began to simultaneously produce two Camry - "narrow" and "wide." About the "narrow", again, remember the adepts and fanatics, and the "broad" not only lives, but also to envy competitors shows completely exemplary sales, at least in their main market - in the United States. And the model of the sixth generation, presented in Detroit last year, is no exception.

In Russia, in the class of medium-sized Camry sedans, it covers all as a bull of the sheep: the only one hundred percent once competitor, Nissan Teana, which turned into his last generation of American Altima, was predicted to leave the market. The worships can say that, they say, Camry - Queen of the official garages. This is partly so, but even if deductible from 28 199 sold last year Camry 9,609 copies departed legal entitiesAll the same, the advantage over the same Mazda 6, which almost no (426 pieces) in the fleet (426) will be thrilled.

From secret protocols

And yet, new Camry. Should catch up with Mazda, and immediately at several points! The first one seems to be in doubt - the audience. According to the marketologists of Toyota, a competitive "six" in Russia prefers "young" and "distinctive" (seeking to emphasize their individuality buyers). Moreover, according to the conditional indicator, determined by the ratio of two of these characteristics, Mazda 6 in Russia is generally leading - only Kia Optima. In the last generation, I could get closer to it, the rest are far away. Camry also buyers are solid conservative, traditional. And the task of the new model is not just to save the old (in the literal and figurative sense), but also to get new ones. Is it possible?

Next, there is a "pleasure of driving", attributed to the "dynamics". If someone confuses the word "dynamics" against Mazda 6, look at the American market: there is a restyling model for sale with a motor from CX-9 - 2.5 liters and turbocharging. Interestingly, the version presented in Los Angeles last November, with a new lattice of the radiator and a slightly modernized interior, are not going to sell in Russia. At least, the press service of the brand assures us that the decision on this issue is not accepted, and if it is accepted, then in a year. In this sense, the car presented in our test is not at all the "lame duck".

However, this is not all. In the village of Toyota, their own model is considered ... Stand - do not fall ... Do not fall - stand ... Technically backward! Yes, yes, this is the inelace "positioning among competitors." "Technical Advance" Mazda 6 is estimated at 0.96 points (maximum one), and Camry is 0.87. What does it have to do with japanese Bestseller It takes the last among all competitors of the Russian market place!

Engines:

Toyota Camry. / Mazda6.

2.5 L, 181 hp / 2.5 L, 192 hp

Justice for the sake of say that the previous one generation Toyota. Camry with "technical advocacy" and was really tight, and new? In the new - everything seems to be perfect: and the GA-K platform (as the brainchild of the TNGA architecture), and the upgraded rear suspension, and the power system with the "double injection", and 8-speed hydromechanical machines, and the phase adjustment carried out by the electromotor , and ... Alas, touch all this beauty, and it is not fully fully, will bring only the owners of the most powerful version - with the newest aggregate of 3.5 liters, which for our market is offered in the version with a reduced degree of compression. Meanwhile, according to statistics, in the past generation Camry, a modification with V6 was preferred only 12.5%. Another 7.5% was preferred by the basic version with a 2.0-liter motor, and the remaining 80% took 2.5 liters. That is why this execution and turned out to be on our test. And this, of course, is not an American version with the D-4S nutrition system (injection and cylinders, and in inlet pipes) and a compression ratio of 13.0, and a well-known motor with a distributed injection motor, compression of 10.4 and 6-speed box in addition.

It is clear that the very desired speaker new car With this engine is not ahti, especially since it is limited and the former "vegetable" settings electronic block Management of the power unit, and the absence of submissive petals, and even the fact that the new Camry has become heavier than the old at least 40 kg. Gas pedal in Toyota is very easy, which is justified - it is extremely inert. The engine responds to the actions of the driver with a pedal with a very large delay, and it does not work out from the box of operational switching, it does not seem to be in manual mode. However, I partly managed to "raise" the hydromechanic - already on the second day it starts more fun "smooth frictions "However, no matter how the feeling of" dynamics ", of course, does not have, especially since the possibilities of manual decrease are almost completely absent. Probably on some very color descent, so as not to warm the brakes, this box and will fit, but nothing more.

By the way, it was discovered in this automatic trans-"glitch". Somehow standing on the traffic light, I transferred the selector to the position S and, without moving from the place "rose" to the sixth gear - on the side computer caught fire: "S6". What was my surprise when, when starting, overclocking and subsequent stop, the inscription "S6" continued to burn, although the steps in the box, of course, switched. Meanwhile, the electronics of New Camry in principle has some discrepancies with reality. For example, with a "manual" drop from the 2nd to the 1st, when the figure 1 lights up on the screen (approximately at 50 km / h), the box still continues the procedure for changing the stage while the speedometer arrows time to fix the drop drop slightly not 10 km / h

His contribution to the "antidynamic" behavior Camry makes and setting the brake pedal. In fairness, we note that the characteristic has become significantly better, but this is only the effect of a "low base", because before it was simply criminal. And now the pedal can safely live on half of the course, and after that it is also hard to devoid - then the slowdown will be felt.

In contrast

On Toyota background Camry Sedan. Mazda 6 - Straight Rulley Boll. Actually, our colleague Andrei Sobbin, burdened by extensive experience in all sorts of rally raids, while last year on vacation in Portugal, did not refuse himself the pleasure of ride at Mazda 6 for several dopama "Rally Portugal". Of course, it does not go about any fighting piloting, but this particular example speaks of the difference in manageability and the opportunities that engineers left the drivers of these two sedans.

Toyota Camry / Mazda6
Consumption per 100 km

First, in Mazda there are petals - comfortable, neat, closely pressed to the back of the "Baranki"; Operate them - one pleasure. Secondly, the settings of the power unit even in normal mode - better than those that have Camry in manual. The gas pedal is "dense", with a small return, which, in sensations, accurately coincides with the engine reactions and with how the pedal has been added to the pedal, the machine dials. Opportunities for braking is also not so that, but still better than in Toyota.

The gearbox at Mazda is also a 6-speed, and the transition to 8 steps is not foreseen. Meanwhile, it does not prevent the car to demonstrate a completely moderate fuel consumption and not least in the city. First, like any atmospheric, a 2.5-liter Mazda unit in 192 hp Not so depending on the traffic jams as dumb downsaysing motors. According to the not chib to loaded the city, it stacked at 9 l / 100 km. By the way, it seems that this version of the Sixters is even more economical base (150 hp): more powerful motor easier to cope with big SedanAnd for the dynamic driving from the traffic light to the traffic light, there is no need to turn the crankshaft above 2,500-3,000 rpm. I-Eloop braking energy recovery system helps (by the name of which I immediately came up with a nickname Hayilup), which, according to developers, when driving in the city with frequent stopping stops, it saves at least 5% of fuel, and then and 10. It is interesting that it is only available for a 2.5-liter motor.

In fact, what is easier: do not twist the generator from the engine constantly, and to use the deceleration modes for this to obtain electricity. The process of its "return" can be observed on the display of the multimedia system - it is provided for a separate mode. When the gas is reset, the generator that can work both in 12V mode and in 25T mode, begins to transmit the "recreated" electricity into the condenser, which is installed in the front of the machine under the hood. As soon as the condenser is filled in - a minimum for this you need 7 seconds - "Finish" inscription lights up on the display. This means that, if necessary, the capacitor can reset the accumulated charge into a regular 12-volt battery. The Stop & Start system also contributes to fuel economy.

The Russian Camry with a 2.5-liter (188 hp) does not have the engine of all this beauty, and in addition, a car built on a new platform, for some reason, it turned out to be heavier than a competitor. Compare: The range of the outfit masses at Mazda 6 is 1 395-1 486 kg, and Camry - 1 570-1 700. This is the difference in kilograms in many respects and determines the difference in fuel consumption - on average, Mazda 6 is obtained per liter-one and a half Less than Camry.

Acceleration up to 100 km / h

Toyota Camry / Mazda 6

On complete contrast

Not to say that Toyota so nothing to boast. Let's say, she is noticeably quieter (which, apparently, added a dozen-other kilograms), the suspension is now less brings in turns - it became more assembled, but it was not completely corrected completely from previous diseases. Let's say, even when moving at a level (60-80 km / h) on a flat, without chosen to urban asphalt, passengers feel noticeable body fluctuations, and, both in the longitudinal and transverse plane. The steering wheel is heavy, while the blurred and wide range of the zone is preserved, which Mazda has practically no. As for the manageability as a whole - the new Camry, of course, is better holding a trajectory, but it is in many ways, oddly enough, merit rear suspension, which, in fact, has changed constructively - on the "Fifth Wide Camry" from behind were the racks "McPherson", now - already a multi-dimension. That is, Camry has become better, but so far in this respect it wins mostly for the oldest.

The most strongly adherents of Camry will make changes in ergonomics, especially in the part of the instrument panel, however, wherever Kin is not a solution to the solutions of their controversial, and the range of possible complaints is quite wide. For example, the dials seem to be unreasonably far from each other, drawing and the font is such that three-digit numbers on the speedometer are not as easy and quick as they would like, and they themselves are too brought together with each other. Meanwhile, most complaints cause display execution on-board computer - both according to the graphic part and in the logical, and the brightest illustration of this claim - the tab with the consumption of fuel. The tilted stripes actually turned out to be a scale with a consumption values, the top light blue flag with a strange inscription "After Zap-SKA" - only the visualization of the data on consumption (I understood it when the dark-blue checkbox appeared below, "after discharge "), And the background specks, leaving the distance - turned out to be nothing more than just specks.

Each of us, for some reason chooses a car. Be it bmw 3, Ford Mondeo. or domestic UAZ Patriot. But if you are a supporter of Japanese Mazda car brand, then today's topic is specifically for you. Choosing good carI would like to know, Mazda 3 or Mazda 6 What is better? And although it is externally similar cars, but they have a large number of differences. After all, these are models for people with different requirements. In order to make comparative analysis, you need to take into account many characteristics. After all, not only from technical data depends on the operation of the car.

In order to try to answer this question, let's consider the technical and other data of both cars in more detail. Cut the car battle.

Let's start with power plants.

The car Mazda 6 is equipped with the following types of gasoline engines:

- 2.0l. with a capacity of 150 hp;

- 2.5l with a capacity of 192 liters. from.;

- two diesel engines With a working volume of 2 liters and 2.2, with a capacity of 150 and 175 horses.

In the motors of the new generation of Mazda 3, a fully new 1,5-liter gasoline motor with a capacity of 120 hp is used. The line is also contained diesel engines with an impact of 150 and 165 forces with a working capacity of 2.0 liters and 2.2l. Mazda 6 with a slight advantage breaks forward.

Compare transmissions Mazda 3 or Mazda 6

For Mazda 6, a choice is available: a 6-step mechanic or a 5-stage automatic transmission, Mazda 3 is equipped with a standard 5 transmitted manual transmission, but it also be the ability to set a 5-speed automatic gearbox. And again a small victory for Mazda 6.

We estimate the design, the appearance of cars

it is sustained in a smooth, flexible style - it is deprived of sharp corners or sharp protruding faces, and in motion it looks like a drop of liquid metal. What creates a certain visual style and contributes to the improvement of aerodynamics. In the assembly of the body, lightweight materials and light metal alloys were widely used, which allowed the car to "Lose Weight" on a lot of kilograms.

Changes in the design of cars can be considered pure cosmetic. The silhouette of the car has retained its outlines in the almost unchanged form: the body received an extended shape, light light lights and fog lighting, the side mirrors have acquired LED rotation indicators. The headlights acquired adaptive control and LED neighbor and far Light. There was also a calculation to not blind drivers of counter cars. Compare yourself.

Let's see what is included in the package.

• DRIV basic machine equipment, involving only one type of engine 2 liter 150-strong gasoline motor with 6 automatic transmission;
• Active - When choosing this modification, the buyer can choose between several variants of power units and obtain in addition the electric drive of the side mirrors, 2 zone climates control and a number of other little things;
• Supreme - equipment in which LED, adaptive lighting, additionally appear, fog lights and DRL on the LED elements, and in the interior leather upholstery;
• Supreme Plus, in the standard equipment of this configuration, includes a rear view camera, heated steering wheels, an invisible system and heated rear seats;
• Executive - top equipment machine.

Mazda 3.

In the body of the hatchback, only the Active + equipment is available. In addition to the standard: ABS, EBD, DSC, side curtain safety, tire pressure control, ERA-GLONASS systems, are equipped with 2 zone climates with control, electrical windows, heated front seats, multimedia sensory screen and electric rear-view mirrors with electrical heating.

For Mazda 3 in the body of the sedan, the EXCLUSIVE equipment is also available. Features of this version are available additional options: access without key, cruise control, R-camera with parking sensors, LED headlights, light and rain sensors, heated steering and improved audio system. An explicit victory of the seisters.

Take a look at Mazda Mazda Parameters 3 VS Mazda 6

The result is in front of you.

Interior

Let's start with a new, improved front panel of Mazda 6, which was equipped with leather inserts, new deflectors of the heating and ventilation system. Upstairs Torpedo, there are a large touchscreen display for 7 inches and multi media complex. A climate control unit is placed on the center console. Front tunnel that shares the driver and front passengerAlso became more, solid. Instead of mechanical lever parking brakeNow there is a convenient, compact electrical brake button. Not only the first, but also the second row with completely new chairs and the sofa, which are more comfortable, more comfortable.

In the salon Mazda 3 attract the attention of the new steering wheel and the absence of a handbrake lever, which also replaced with a button. The car also received memory adjustment memory, improved image quality at the projection display and an upgraded frontal collision prevention system. The interior of the troika differs from the predecessor not only with the new instrument panel, the steering and the center console with the multi-media system screen, but also the improved quality of finishing materials.

If you compare cars in management, then there are also differences here. Suspension is much softer. And it is on the disks of 18 inches after 16 to Mazda 3. Surprisingly, a little more permeability. The clearance is officially above the troop just 1.5 cm, but there is a large wheelbase, but where the trash is clinging the crank protection in times, there are no problems on the sixth. Strange, but these 1.5 cm added patency. The steering wheel is easier. On the trick, it seems more tight. Informativeness on the 6-ke more, rulitsya even predictable. The road keeps better, although I would not say that there were complaints to 3rd. It slows down cool, but the pedal is somewhat different - at first slows down slowly, then quickly stops. Unlike the top three, the brake is smooth and uniform.

Outcome

I understand that it is incorrect to compare the C-class with the D-class, but still. In order not to make a mistake, it is important to take into account many details. First of all, your preferences. Definitely answer the question, which is better than Mazda 3 or Mazda 6 is very difficult. These machines belong to different classes. And many of their characteristics, primarily concerning comfort, differ significantly. In any case, when choosing, try to take into account all the features of both models. And only after that make a choice towards a car.

Despite the fact that the leader has long been established in the segment, many cars of this class constantly seek to "squeeze" it. Toyota Camry or Mazda 6, champion or updated, bright applicant? Let's draw a detailed comparison and learn what is better.

A bit of history

Toyota has released its first model in the distant 1982. However, the popularity of the car has won only in the early 2000s. In 2002, the fifth generation of Camry was founded, which was loved by both the interior and the appearance. Exactly this version Began to form a reputation that is currently available at the car.

Then, in 2008, the revised version of Camry 40, which remained in the hearts of many. And in 2012, sales began on the seventh generation. It finally defended the title of sales champion in the D segment on russian market. After 3 years, the model received restyling: some configuration changed, the suspension was revised, but, in general, the car remained the same.

Mazda 6 began its history much later - the first version of this model came out in 2002. In 2005, "Six" received restyling. However, the inner part underwent changes more, the exterior remained intact. The second generation was produced in the period from 2008 to 2012. But the most interesting for us is the third generation of sedan. It, like Camry, began to be issued since 2012, and in 2015 the model survived restyling. Therefore, relative to the release of the last generation versions, both opponents are peers.

In 2017, manufacturers presented absolutely new modifications that have undergone huge changes. However, on sale in the Russian market, they will be released only in 2018. Therefore, so far we will compare the 2015-2016 models. But rather stories. It's time to compare them!

Outside

Toyota Camry is positioned as a presentable car for businessmen, designed to emphasize their status and solidity. Therefore, only clearly discreet lines are visible in the design of the exterior.

The sharp corners are dominated, which is an innovation compared to Camry V40. It is for this reason that many refused to accept new appearance car in the first years of release. No roundness or relief on the side doors. The exterior is extremely discreet and strict.

The car creates the impression of a calm and confident fighter, the leader in his nature, which does not require unnecessary lines for self-affirmation. The car seems to say that he does not need anyone to prove anything. He is the best!

Mazda 6 is absolutely different. It is rustier, perky and creates a lot of impressions. And this is traced not only in appearance. A little later you will understand what we wanted to say. Mazda is more aggressive. It has become much larger than the previous generation. Even compared to Toyota, it is wider than 15 mm and is 45 mm longer. Only in the height of the "six" is inferior - 1450 versus 1480 mm.

The view immediately attracts the view the massive radiator grille, whose lines smoothly flow into the front lights. Head optics, like fog lights, are LED. They look very pretty and create a combat image to the whole car.

Little spoil the mood of turn signals on head headers. They are halogen, which looks extremely strange. All LED lights, and turn signals - no. Really savings?!

Be that as it may, the appearance of the sixth Mazda is beautiful, and there is hardly a person who will leave the exterior of the Japanese indifferent. The car became more bright: Unlike the dorestayling version of 2013, more chrome details appeared here, allowing to notice the "six" from afar.

19 inch wheels, installed on the SUPREMEPLUS and Executive configuration, made tinted. Probably did not want to "overdo it" with chrome.

At this stage it is difficult to make a certain conclusion. Yes, Mazda 6 brighter. Her design attracts views. Camry does not stand out on the background of the opponent, the body line is though quite aggressive, but obviously not screaming. This is not a minus, this is a feature of character. In addition, the car design is balanced and pleasant. What you like will, depends on your character and even a ride style. It is difficult to determine the favorite. We are going further.

Inside

Sitting into the driver's seat, you can observe a similar picture as in appearance. The interior of Toyota Camry looks solid, and Mazda 6 is more modern and more elegant.

Ergonomics

In certain configurations, Toyota offers a large 10-inch display than the opponent cannot boast. However, the reaction for this display is not far away.

It seems to be a trick of Toyota. In RAV 4, for example, there are problems with almost frame-byproken switching buttons on the touch screen. Of course, this occurs occasionally, but it looks insidual. Pleased with large and conveniently located buttons in which you can not look. The minus for many car owners was "pseudoderevo" - plastic, creating the illusion of noble wood. Mazda 6 has no such miscurrent prestigiousness.

With ergonomics full order of both cars. The central console of Mazda is made stylish and convenient. Dashboard, like Toyota, easy readable and harmonious.

It is noteworthy that in Mazda 6 there is no parking brake handle. This feature is now included with the button. It is located on the left of the 6-step automatic transmission lever next to the sports mode button.

Front chairs

A significant difference between two models is a chair. In the sixth Mazda, side support is clearly expressed, people in a similar seat can be uncomfortable.

It would not be a disadvantage if the manufacturer provided the opportunity to buy other chairs, such as in new Ford. Mondeo (Japanese and American companies are strategic partners).

There is simply no lateral support in the Toyota - the driver can smoothly crush the chair regardless of the set.

For large owners, it is indisputable plus, and for thin - the moment is controversial. Some say that they are resting in such chairs and can easily drive hundreds of kilometers, others - consider a disadvantage.

Rear sofa

There are no sports lines and intricate terrain seats in Camry. And this applies to the rear sofa. It is large, wide, monotonous, but - comfortable.

In the armrest of the maximum configurations, cameplists, climate control buttons (here it is 3 zone), the tilt buttons and the multimedia system adjustment keys.

In Mazda 6, the armrest is pretty simple, except for adjusting the heating of the buttons no buttons. The tilt of the rear sofa is also not.

Surprisingly, despite the advantage in length, places on the second row is less than in Camry. Of course, Mazda 6 is also comfortable, but the difference is tangible. Perhaps this makes the Toyota of sales leader in Segment D.

Trunk.

If you compare the volume of the trunk, the applicant for leadership again loses: 483 liters in Mazda against 506 at Toyota. At the same time, under the floor Camry, there is a full-fledged wheel with a light alloy disk, and Mazda6 is a low profile rate. By the way, the size of the sizes of a little less than the diameter of the full-fledged wheel, so you will not be able to accelerate on it. Solid disappointment.

Options

With regard to options, not everything is so unambiguous. Mazda 6 was unpleasantly surprised. At a price of 1 million 877 thousand rubles. Even the maximum equipment does not have heating windshield. But it can boast quality rear camerahaving a phenomenal viewing angle. Together with it there is a system of warning about vehicles crossing your trajectory, the control system of blind zones and movements in the strip. Such equipment allows you to perfectly feel a car with a length of almost 5 m.

Until recently, Toyota Camry has no data, but in last years The leader pulled up. Starting with the installment Elegance, the car is equipped with an air ionizer, thanks to which in the cabin is really easy and pleasant to breathe. Also Toyota is equipped with wireless charger For smartphones. But it is worth being careful - not all phone models can be charged with this system.

On both models there are light and rain sensors.

An interesting innovation in Mazda 6 was the I-Eloop system, which uses braking energy to charge climate and multimedia installations. This relieves the load from the engine and reduces the level of exhaust gases.

The display even shows the number of trees saved by you thanks to this system.

Challenges

There is a key distinction between models. Camry phlegmichna in management. She just slowly reacts to the movement of the steering wheel. In the chair of the Toyota driver you will not find rapid dynamics. If you like an acute and fascinating ride, you have not appealed to the address.

Camry is straightforward and stable. It is important to understand - she has no deficiencies in management, it perfectly passes turns and is steadily resting on any coverage. Just it is not designed for driving.

Mazda 6, on the contrary, relieves playing with you into the game. It feels an excitement. It contributes to the splash of adrenaline and makes the streetreyser from you. The car wakes you, as if forcing you shake and understand how beautiful the world is around.

She sparks and excites sparks in you. The steering wheel is sharper and more accurate. Compared to the Mazda 6 opponent has a tougher suspension.

Choosing what to buy, it is necessary to remember that the machines were created for radically different psychotypes of drivers. "Six" is the embodiment of moderate aggression and drive. It is such inside, outside and in management. And "Camryukha" will have to taste to lovers of comfortable and measured ride, which are used to feeling complete control of what is happening. She will not give you emotions. But if you do not need permanent sharp feelings, Camry is created specifically for you.

As for the dynamics of overclocking, Mazda 6 shows a record 7.8 seconds at a 2.5 liter atmospheric motor. In this segment it best result. But be prepared that when you turn on the sports mode of the gearbox and try to repeat the specified time, the amount of fuel in the tank will also rapidly go down.

The clearance is approximately the same: 160 mm at Toyota and 165 mm at Mazda.

Configuration and prices

Toyota Camry offers its model with three types of gasoline engines:

1. Four-cylinder 2.0 l;
2. Four 2.5 l;
3. V6 volume of 3.5 liters.

If earlier Camry was sold with a variator box, then at the end of 2017 the machine is equipped with a 6-level automatic transmission.

Choose another box in Mazda 6 will not work. The six-speed automatic is installed on both engines that the manufacturer offers:

1. The engine with a volume of 2.0 l, outstanding 150 hp
2. Aggregate of 2.5 l with a capacity of 192 hp

Now about the main thing! The decisive round of confrontation Toyota vs Mazda will be a cost comparison. As of December 2017, the initial version of Camry costs from 1,377,000 rubles, and the price of "six" begins from 1,495,000 rubles. With the maximum package of things, things are a little different: from 2 003 thousand for the Toyota vs. 1,877 thousand per Mazda. However, it is important to remember that the maximum version of the Toyotovsky Suite goes exclusively with a 3.5 liter engine. If you take a complete set with a 2.5 liter engine, which is not worse, its value is equal to 1,787 rubles. No matter how cool, the price tag in Mazda is higher. At the same time there is no glass heating, less spacious trunk, smaller space at the second row, meager option for rear passengers and tougher suspension.

What to choose

If you were asked what is better to buy: Camry or Mazda 6, then what would be your answer? Pragmatic man would definitely chose Camry. It is solid, softer and cheaper, and technical equipment Niche is not inferior to the opponent, even more interesting in places.

But Mazda 6 offers customers what Toyota will never be - emotions! Machine creates magic! Thanks to its character, she attracts you and encourages to meet with her again. She like a cute mischievous girl constantly flirting with you, making alive! Yes, she has shortcomings, but the desire of the owner becomes better next to her can outweigh all the cons! Choose not only mind, but also a heart - only then the car will give you joy every time!

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, the comparative Test Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry was carried out on the machines in top-end sets 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 engine SkyActiv-G and a 6-speed hydrotransformer transmission SkyActiv drive.Toyota Camry equipped with a DUAL VVT-I motor and reliable box On 6 gears with a torque converter.

Mazda. 6

Restyling this model did not strongly changed the appearance of the car, but the 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 front 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 others. body details 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" a large car. The feed of the sedan looks massively and modernly, while maintaining the necessary restraint. Rear lights Large, conditionally divided into the upper and lower part of the silver insert, located along the edge of the wide lid lid of the luggage compartment itself.

The idle of both models is entirely complies with the concept that competing autohydriants from Japan are confirmed in their advanced design. Noticeable bias in the direction of "pseudo-altitude" Mazda 6, which the creators of the new model emphasized all possible methods. 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 the combined color gamut of the 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. Interact with them just, so change the settings, pick up right mode or the direction of blowing will not work.

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. The dashboard 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 of an 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. Toyotan's calm sedan to hurry was nowhere at all and there is no need for electronic systems They did not build up in the model interior 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. Top up the gas pedal and enjoy a noticeable motorway in low revolutions. 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". As for the brake system, this node is well configured. 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 insulation and vibration protection are clearly improved compared to previous versions of the model. 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 machine 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 in 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. Places for the feet is enough, an impressive wheelbase allows not to sign front range Armchairs 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 high level protect your 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 6 on the European EURO NCAP system 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.

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.
