2020 Mazda MAZDA6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2020 Mazda6 is a true carryover with no major mechanical, styling, safety, or technology changes from 2019. Its five-trim lineup and two 2.5-liter engines return unchanged.
About the 2020 Mazda MAZDA6
3rd generation Mazda6 for the US market (2014-2021), in its later years after the major 2018 refresh.
Mazda positions the Mazda6 as its flagship sedan: a midsize four-door for shoppers who want more driver involvement and a richer cabin than many mainstream family sedans deliver. The core appeal is sharp handling, clean styling, a quiet and well-finished interior, strong standard safety tech, and an available turbo engine. Against Accord, Camry, and Sonata, the Mazda6’s draw is that it feels more upscale and more engaging without becoming a true luxury car.
The 2020 Mazda6 ranges from the well-equipped Sport to the near-luxury Signature. Grand Touring introduces the stronger turbo engine, while Grand Touring Reserve adds leather seats, ventilated front seats, and a head-up display. Signature tops the range with Nappa leather, richer cabin trim, navigation, and a 360-degree camera.

2020 Mazda MAZDA6 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2020 Mazda MAZDA6.
4.3
2020 Mazda MAZDA6
(169 reviews)
“The 2020 Mazda 6 Signature is an attractive and well appointed car inside and out, with good ergonomics, high quality materials and excellent fit & finish. It's not a sports car but offers good performance (including lots of torque) and is enjoyable to drive. The navigation system is clunky but everything else is intuitive and works like it should.”
“Love - premium interiors, NVH levels, spacious cabin, speakers, ADAS features, reliability, inexpensive to maintain Hate - No ambient lighting, transmission is a bit slow”
