How many cylinders does a Mazda 6 have?
I’m interested in getting a new Mazda 6, but I also want to get a V6 if possible. How many cylinders are under the hood of the Mazda 6?

The number of cylinders in a
Mazda 6
depends on the model year and what engine lies under the hood. From 2002 to 2013, the Mazda 6 came with either an inline-four-cylinder engine or a V6—so you could potentially have either four or six cylinders under the hood. However, all Mazda 6 models made from 2014 to 2021 have only four cylinders under the hood, although new technology allows this engine to churn out between 187 and 227 horsepower.- 2003 to 2005: 220 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque
- 2006 to 2008: 212 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque
- 2009 to 2013: 272 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque
Any four-cylinder versions made before 2014 will have far less horsepower and torque than the V6, but 2014 engines onward provide a great mix of power and fuel economy. Just make sure to keep up on your
