Should I buy a used Mazda MAZDA6 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2020 model is at −3.28% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −3.85%.
• Deal availability: The 2019 model has 32.9% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2017 model has the most listings at a current average price of $14,172. The Mazda MAZDA6 offers a stylish, upscale-feeling cabin and an engaging driving character that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Most versions of the 2021 Mazda6 have a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine under their long and shapely hoods. Run it on 93-octane fuel, and it makes 250 hp and 320 pound-feet of torque. Choose 87-octane gas, and those numbers drop to 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Either way, the EPA says a Mazda6 Turbo gets 26 mpg in combined driving. That matches nicely with our testing result of 26.1 mpg.
• Tech: It has an 8-inch screen instead of the 8.8-inch display found in most other Mazdas, and it comes with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio, internet radio, text-messaging support, and E911 automatic emergency notification.
• Safety: Every 2021 Mazda6 is equipped with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
• Starting price: Pricing ranges from $24,325 to $35,750, plus a mandatory destination charge of $945.

If you're buying used today, the 2017 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2022 inventory to mature.
