Mazda initially positioned its "six" as a sports car for everyday use. That is why this model has excellent aerodynamics, handling, elastic suspension and small ground clearance. In the last generation, Mazda 6 clearance increased for the Russian market to 165 mm.
Weight and permissible loads
Road clearance (eng. "Clearance") is the distance between the lower point of the car and the surface of the road. Given the quality of our roads, Mazda 6 buyers are not least interested in this indicator. Each driver has to overcome the snow gaunes, laying policemen and park the car at the border.
The manufacturer usually indicates the road clearance for promotional purposes. But the real clearance of Mazda 6 may differ from what we see in the technical parameters. The secret is in the place and methods of measuring the road lumen. The height to the engine pallet, the lower part of the bumper or silencer can differ significantly. In addition, the magnitude of the road lumen depends on the weight of the car, the fully loaded car loses 20-30 mm clearance. The height above the road depends on the dimension of the wheel installed on the car.
The only way to learn the real Mazda Road clearance is to be -tained on a flat site, freeing the car from excess cargo, armed with a ruler and measure the height of the road to the lower point itself. As the saying goes: "Feel the difference!" The claimed clearance of Mazda 6 III of the Russian assembly - 165 mm. In reality, the engine protected is only 154 mm.
On Mazda 6 2008 with the protection of clearance and is less than 135 mm. It is, so the second generation owners criticized for invisibility to Russian roads. In winter, it was easily possible to damage the bumper or tear the threshold overlay, and to hook the engine crankcase on the primer.
The new Mazda 6 allows not to be afraid of winter drifts, calmly parked in the city and leave the family to nature.
The dimension of the chassis
Not only the Mazda's ground clearance 6, but also the magnitude of the front and rear swell, as well as other indicators, affects geometric permeability.
Mazda 6 2016 dimensions:
- length - 4870 mm;
- wheel base - 2830 mm;
- height - 1450 mm;
- width - 1840 mm;
- front wheel track - 1585 mm;
- pitch the rear wheels - 1575 mm;
- clearance - 165 mm;
- curb weight - 1375-1400 kg;
- full weight - 1830-1860 kg.
Road clearance in Mazda 6 - adjustable value
Tuning lovers know that the road clearance of the car can be changed.
On Mazda 6, the clearance can be adjusted in several ways.
The simplest way is to replace the wheels to large, thereby increasing the distance from the ground. It is important not to increase the dimension of the disks, and the installation of rubber with a higher profile (the ratio of the height of the profile to the width). Even a small difference in the dimension of tires, for example, 215/60 instead of 205/60 gives an increase in clearance of 5-7 mm.
Another way to regulate clearance is the replacement of native springs to more stringent counterparts. For various markets and modifications MAZDA 6, the manufacturer sets the springs with different rigidity. The installation dimensions of the parts at the same time are the same, but the springs react differently to the load. Consequently, when installing springs, for example, from Mazda 6 Wagon for the European market for a sedan for Russia can be achieved a difference of 15 mm.
A more complex version of the magnification of Mazda 6 is an installation of spacers between the shock absorbing racks and the body, between the springs and the body, the installation of inter-touch spacers on the springs. Such measures will be able to add 10-20 mm to the road clearance.
However, each medal has two sides. Non-standard wheels with full loading and turning may touch the wheel arches. When changing the height of the car, the factory characteristics of aerodynamics, controllability and stability are violated. The load on the details of the chassis and the suspension increases, which can lead to premature way out of order. Everything has a measure, the main thing is not to overdo it!
Mazda Road clearance 6 or clearanceAs for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the state of the road surface or its complete absence forces Russian motorists to be interested in clearance Mazda6 and the ability to increase the road lumen with the help of spacer.
To begin with, it is necessary to honestly say that real clearance Mazda 6 It can be seriously different from the manufacturer's declared. The whole secret in the method of measurement and place of measuring the road lumen. Therefore, it is possible to find out the real state of affairs only by armed with a roulette or ruler. Official clearance Mazda 6 Russian assembly is 165 mm. But in reality under the plastic protection of the engine, only about 150 mm.
Some manufacturers go to the trick and declare the size of the road lumen in the "empty" car, but in real life we \u200b\u200bhave a complete trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and a driver. That is, the clien's loaded car will be completely different. Another factor that has few people in mind is the age of the car and wear of the springs of their "seeding" from old age. The question is solved by installing new springs or purchase of spacers under spring Springs Mazda 6. Spacers allow you to compensate for the singer of the springs and will add a pair of centimeters of the road lumen. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the border plays an important role.
But it is not necessary to get involved in the "elevator" of the Mazda's road lumen 6, because spacers for increasing clearance are focused only on the springs. If you do not pay attention to shock absorbers, the course of which is often very limited, then independent modernization of the suspension can lead to the loss of controllability and damage to the shock absorbers. From the point of view of the road road clearance Mazda6. In our harsh conditions, this is good, however, at high speeds on the track and in turning, a serious routine and additional casual rolls appear.

Any car manufacturer When designing suspension and choosing the magnitude of the clearance is looking for a golden middleness between handling and passability. Perhaps the easiest, safe and simple way to increase the clearance, it is to install wheels with "high" rubber. Wheel change makes it easy to increase ground clearance on a centimeter of another.
Do not forget that a serious change in clearance can cause damage to the shruses. After all, "grenades" will have to work a little under a different angle. But this concerns only the front axle. Not only that serious change in clearance can lead to uneven wear of rubber.
Modern cars of the model line Mazda 6 from generation to generation invariably continue to delight various technical improvements and tempt the elegant architecture of the body. Do not occupy the "six" and comfort, excellent manageability, reliability of nodes. But there is some controversial moments as, for example, Mazda Cleigh 6 - Many are wondering if it is not enough and how painlessly increase it. Consider in detail the problem of the lack of road lumen and the possible ways to solve it.
Specifications and clearance
The Japanese always positioned the "sixth" Mazda as a sports car for every day. Of course, it is difficult to count on high controllability in shorts and resistance on the highway with a soft suspension, as well as a significant road lumen. As a result, the first generation of Mazda 6 turned out to be very collected in the go, with a lowered gravity, which immediately had to the court to lovers of active drive for reasonable money. Nevertheless, admirers of comfort clearance at the level of 130 mm with a carrying capacity of 490 kg seemed frankly insufficient.
The situation was not saved and a relatively small wheelbase of 2,675 mm. Since 2005, restyled Mazda appeared on the market 6. Specifications, clearance were partially improved, so the road clearance was 150 mm, which turned out to be a good compromise between sports and everyday life. Even the charged modification MPS had a clearance of 140 mm. True, in the case of the last owner, the owners complained to the high probability of impact when traveling ordinary road police - due to heavy motor volume of 3 liters.
Mazda 6 2008 - Clearance has become more
The second generation was obtained 165 mm clearance with a carrying capacity of 540 kg. The wheel base was 2,725 mm. Restyling the above indicators left in force. At the same time, Mazda 6 2008, whose clearance now could not scare away extremely practical consumers, and in this case came across frequent dissatisfaction of drivers in connection with the failure of the road lumen. Drivers are encouraged to proceed from the fact that the car has quite large bodies of the body, and this makes it difficult to maneuvering in the parking lot and courtyard territories. Many drivers, according to them, make the repair of body elements, especially the front bumper, almost every year.
How much changed clearance Mazda 6 III
The passport details of the new generation speaks of traditional 165 mm. The real distance from the asphalt to the protection of the engine is 155 mm, which is more than enough for such a class of car. The wheelbase, however, has increased slightly and is now 2,830 mm, which is 155 mm more than the debut modification M6. Engineers paid attention to the bumper architecture - they are now slightly damped up (the front line is at an altitude of 205 mm), and the bottom is almost flat. In the Internet society of Mazda owners, to whom the clearance of Mazda 6 third generation seems small, recommend simply to look at the line of crossovers of the Japanese brand.
Mazda clearance increase 6
If you are interested in how to increase clearance by car Mazda 6, then you can contact the Council to the official dealer. But as a rule, it is pleased with the way the way to solve the problem. Consider budget ways to increase the road lumen.
High profile rubber installation
The importer will be happy to offer customers a wide selection of wheeled disks and appropriate rubber conditions for warranty service. It is important to understand that the lower the tire profile, the harder the car in the go and the less real clearance becomes. It is not necessary to think that a simple increase in the disk radius from 16 to 18 will change the situation for the better, because it is necessary to look at the profile height ratio to the tire width. So about 1.5 cm is capable of changing the base discs on the tires 215/60 R16 or 215/55 R17. Give a small increase (about 6-8 mm) may even set up the dimension of 215/60 R16 instead of 205/60 R16. But here it is important not to overdo it, since too large tire dimensions can lead to the damage to the wheeled arches when the car is fully loaded.
Installing more hard springs
Another painless way to increase clearance (ground clearance) on Mazda 6 is to replace the stock pendant springs to more rigid. The fact is that for various modifications Mazda 6, the manufacturer provides its set of suspension parts. For the sedan, the springs go with the index of the Zhima 7 kg / mm square., For the hatchback - 8 kg / mm square meters., For the station wagon - 9 kg / mm square meters. Accordingly, the sizes of spare parts are the same everywhere, but the springs react to the load in different ways. Therefore, with a small increase in suspension stiffness, you can safely change the springs of the sedan on the springs from the hatchback or even from the universal. For example, it is possible to achieve a result of 1.5 cm when installed on the "European" sedan of the first generation of springs from Hatch "American" with a 3-liter engine.
Install spacers
The installation of spacers between the racks and the body, between the springs and the body, the installation of intersless spacers on the springs - all this refers to alternatives to solve the problem of insufficient clearance to Mazda 6. Hoping after such changes for the guarantee of the "Officials" do not have to. In most cases, it is also necessary to make alignment, as well as to reconcile the suspension elements to a new body level. Also, according to mechanics, it suffers from it, their resource, both when overproed, and when the car is understood, is noticeably reduced.
conclusions
In this case, the Mazda 6 clearance increases harmlessly only using inter-touch spacers, which do not require constructive changes, but only reduce the damping properties of standard springs. This is, in fact, the limiters that significantly reduce the movement of the suspension on the irregularities and thereby prevent the sinking of the body to too low above the ground. However, this decision has its drawbacks. The owners of "improved" machines say that the already stiff suspension Mazda 6 after installing the spacer becomes like a stool.
Serial production of the car has been established in Japan, in the cities of Hiroshima and Hofe; in the USA, in Michigan; in Colombia, in the city of Bogota; In China, in the city of Changchun and in Russia, in Vladivostok.
The mass production of Mazda 6 started in 2002, the model was released to replace Mazda 626. However, Mazda fully managed to change the idea of \u200b\u200bthis model range, since Mazda 6 practically did not inherit anything from its predecessor. The 6th series model range is very diverse. Since the appearance of this model in the automotive market, it was released in four modifications. The last update occurred in 2013, but it touched an exclusively body of the sedan.
The main motors with which Mazda 6 is supplied are gasoline engines with a volume of 1.8 and 2 liters, with a capacity of 120 and 141 horsepower, respectively. In addition to these engines in the line of power units, it is impossible not to highlight the gasoline engine with a volume of 2.3 liters and with a capacity of 160 horsepower, which is most often installed on universal. For lovers of fast riding Mazda presented the sports version of the 6th series - Mazda 6 Mps. These cars establishes a turbocharged gasoline power unit with a volume of 2.3 liters and a capacity of 260 horsepower. The entire model range of Mazda 6 was installed both mechanical and automatic gearboxes. Mazda 6 has a road clearance of 165 mm. The volume of the trunk at the sedan is about 480 liters, the station wagon is 530 liters, and at hatchback 510 liters. More detailed technical specifications, as well as Mazda 6 photos available in the car gallery on the AUTO.dmir.ru website.
Mazda 6 is a harmonious combination of new ideas and classic design elements that are able to highlight this car from the total mass. Plotted wheel arches give a special appeal.
The car with body type wagon includes everything you need. It has a spacious, universal and functional interior. The newest diesel engine and the presence of a full drive makes Mazda 6 universal with true pleasure for driving.
Internally, Mazda 6 decomposes meets the highest requirements. Ultra-modern materials in the interior decoration, high-quality plastic and light alloys; Skin-skinned steering wheel and gear knob are available as standard, regardless of the body type.
The safety of passengers and children Mazda 6 received 5 out of 5 possible stars, a pedestrian safety - 2 out of 4. All tests were carried out according to the EURO NCAP crash test method.

This article describes in detail the size of the clearance from the Mazda 6 car. All pros and cons for various movement conditions are told in the material. As well as described positive and negative reviews of direct consumers about the clearance of the car "Mazda 6".
Appearance
Mazda 6 is a four-door sports style sedan. At the moment it is one of the largest representatives of its class. The car, thanks to the long wheelbase, creates comfort for the feet of the driver and passengers. As for the height, it had to shorten the rear racks, in order not to lose design. Thanks to the racks, in the car a little closely high people, a low ceiling.
Dimensions and characteristics
The car's length is 4870 millimeters, width - 1840, height - 1450. Classic design plus dimensions, make it even more desirable car. The clearance is only 165 millimeters, which makes a car vulnerable to poor road surface.
The machine is designed exclusively for movement in the city or by the autobahn. This class of machines like Mazda 6, clearance has a small size mostly only because of the design, although low landing makes the car stable on the road that gives confidence to the driver.
Ownership reviews
Thanks to the quality of assembly and a powerful engine of 2.5 liters, the owners of the Mazda 6 car give it only positive characteristics. The car is ideal for traveling by city and over the area. Handing hundreds of kilometers per day, the driver "Mazda" practically does not feel fatigue and discomfort from a long stay behind the wheel.
However, as for minuses, it was also not cost without them. For example, the Mazda 6 clearance, the reviews cause and positive, and negative. Some owners believe that 6 "small for the movement on country roads and for leisure. When you arrive at a small tubercle or, hitting a sharp rise, the car can be safe, as they say," sit down "to the bottom, which can significantly damage the lower part. Unfortunately, it really is there. Some craftsmen specially remove the crankcase protection (armor) in order to increase the clearance in Mazda 6. But such actions tend to lead to deposits.
With the inattention of the driver, the car elementally, you can break through the crankcase, simply having arrived at the speed at the "lying policeman", when driving around the city. The second half of the owners argues that Mazda is made well, and there are no problems with its size. Such positive feedback is heard only from those drivers who use cars only for trips on perfect roads and tracks. Mazda 6 "of the new generation is designed for operation in the city and highway. So the clearance of "Mazda" has quite normal. The sports style machine should not crawl in the mountains and pit.
Description of the road lumen
According to many owners, the Mazda-Six lumen does not correspond to the stated in the documentation. Someone intends 145 millimeters, and someone and less. In fact, Mazda 6 clearance describes the following: 150 millimeters from the wheel of the wheel support to the armor sheet. Between the protection sheet, which has a thickness of almost 10 millimeters, and the engine crankcase itself, there is still free space - about 100 mm.
Thus, the indicator of 165 millimeters is gaining. Do not forget about the technical provisions of the car production. Also lumen depends on the car installed on the car. The larger the diameter of the wheel, the higher the lumen. If the owner of Mazda 6 is not satisfied with the height of the lumen, then you can safely change the wheels to large, thereby changing the size and clearance, and the design of the car.
