Toronto, Ontario — Mazda recently announced that the Mazda6 midsize sedan will not return in Canada and the U.S. for the 2022 model year and production in Canada will end in July.
“As remarkable a vehicle as the Mazda6 was, it faced adverse conditions in an ever-shrinking segment as consumers abandoned sedans in favour of taller, more versatile crossover vehicles,” said the company in a release.
Three generations of the Mazda6 have been sold in Canada. However, the vehicle ranked second-to-last in the midsize sedan category in 2020, with only 1,049 purchases.
Mazada says it will now focus its efforts on continuously improving its CX-line of crossover vehicles, which includes the CX‑3, CX-30, CX‑5, and CX‑9. In the near future, Mazda says it will grow the crossover lineup with its first battery electric vehicle, the MX-30, and an upcoming all-new crossover.
“These vehicles will provide the practicality and versatility that today’s buyers are seeking, paired with Mazda’s signature characteristics of premium design and craftsmanship, excellent driving dynamics, and top safety ratings,” says the company.
