Adding a turbo to the 2018 Mazda6 is surprisingly affordable

Mazda has priced up the 2018 Mazda6, with its handsome midsize sedan packing a turbocharged engine option for the first time. Unveiled at the LA Auto Show last November, the new Mazda6 keeps the classic styling of the old model, but throws in higher-quality materials and more tech for the cabin, as well as a brand new drivetrain under the hood.

The standard engine is still the naturally-aspirated SKYACTIV-G 2.5, good for 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Happily Mazda is still offering it with the six-speed manual transmission, too – a welcome choice in a segment dominated by automatics – though there’s a six-speed auto with Sport Mode for those who’d prefer it. Pricing kicks off at $21,950 for the Mazda6 Sport manual, and $23,000 for the auto version.
