Will the Mazda 6 be discontinued in Australia?
Asked by Craig
Is the Mazda 6 going to be discontinued in Australia as has happened in UK, USA, NZ and, apparently, in Japan in April?
Answered by CarsGuide
14 Feb 2024It certainly looks like that could be the case. Mazda HQ has announced plans to stop production of the 6 at the plant that supplies Australian 6s, so barring a switch to a new supply-factory, that would seem to be so. There's a sense that some Mazda factories will continue to build the 6, but the suggestion is that this will only be for some limited Asian markets.
Unfortunately for those who like conventional vehicle packaging, the almighty SUV has just about killed off the traditional sedan and station-wagon.
