The 2013 Mazda 6 behind the scenes!

Check out this behind the scene look of the upcoming Mazda 6! Mazda's vision for the next-generation 2013 Mazda 6 sedan in the form of this — the new Takeri concept. The next Mazda 6, due on sale in around a year, will benefit from the full array of the Japanese automaker's 'Sky Activ Technology'. That includes new, more efficient gas and diesel engines, compact, lightweight automatic and manual transmissions, new suspension systems and a new modular steel platform.

The Takeri saloon sports the firm's new "Kodo" design language — which the carmaker claims means "Soul of Motion," also seen on the CX-5. The result? As you can see — it's a much bolder, Jaguar XF-like look, than the current-generation 6 four-door.
