CarHub · Mazda
The MAZDA6 has always been the enthusiast's mid-size sedan, the car that answered the question of whether a family four-door could actually be fun to drive.
Model profile
Three generations reached the US market. The first (chassis GG/GY, 2003–2008) introduced the nameplate that replaced the 626 and offered sedan, hatchback and wagon bodies. The second generation (GH, 2009–2013) grew larger to suit American tastes and leaned on V6 power.
Powertrain and equipment
The US MAZDA6 was front-wheel drive throughout. First-gen cars used the 2.3-liter MZR four-cylinder and an optional 3.0-liter Duratec V6; the rare Mazdaspeed6 added a 2.3 DISI turbo with all-wheel drive. The second generation offered a 2.5-liter four and a 3.7-liter V6.
US examples are almost exclusively sedans; the hatchback and wagon disappeared from America after the first generation. Third-generation trim walked from Sport through Touring, Grand Touring and the top Signature, the latter adding Nappa leather, real Sen wood trim and premium sound.
Vehicle selection
Availability of the 2014–2021 sedan is strong across the US, with the highest concentration of clean cars coming from the South and West where road salt is absent.
A US MAZDA6 suits the driver who wants a handsome, engaging sedan without German-badge running costs, someone chasing a specific US trim or colour, or a collector eyeing the AWD Mazdaspeed6.

Pre-purchase review
For the Mazda MAZDA6, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US cars carry federal lighting with amber-free rear indicators and no rear fog lamp, mph-dominant instruments and US-market infotainment bands.
Typical work includes fitting or enabling a rear fog lamp, confirming EU-compliant indicators and headlight beam pattern, and documenting the odometer conversion from miles to kilometres.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes in detail: the US car is sedan-only in the later generation, uses federal lighting and never offered the diesel, but the core Skyactiv engineering is the same.
The 2018–2021 2.5 Turbo in Signature or Grand Touring trim offers the best blend of performance and equipment.
No, US sedans are front-wheel drive. The only AWD version was the earlier Mazdaspeed6.
The Skyactiv generation is dependable; watch intake carbon on direct-injection engines and rust on first-generation cars.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Sea freight plus clearance and approval typically means a number of weeks; USCar Trader coordinates each stage.
Yes, mechanical and service parts are broadly available through Mazda's European network; some US-specific trim may need ordering.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
