2009 Mazda MAZDA6 i Grand Touring

Under the hood, the 2009 MAZDA6 i Grand Touring is the same as the other i trims. But elsewhere it offers more than the rest – and much of it comes standard. Adding on to what’s available in the i Touring, the exterior of this trim includes foglights, automatic xenon headlights, LED taillights, heated and dimming mirrors, rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers, and 17-inch alloy wheels, while its interior features dual-zone climate control, cruise control, wheel-mounted audio controls, push-button ignition, welcome lights, keyless entry, blind-spot monitoring, and Bluetooth. Additionally, a power moonroof and a touch-screen, voice-activated DVD navigation system are optional.

The eight-way power driver’s seat is the same featured in the i Touring trim, though the i Grand Touring also includes driver’s seat memory and a power passenger seat. Leather-trimmed seating is also standard, and both the driver's and passenger seats are heated.
