Limited to just 100 units in the UK, 50 sedans and 50 estates, it is up for grabs from £29,250 (equal to $40,314) for the Saloon and £30,250 ($41,692) for the Tourer.
Review: The 2020 Mazda6 Signature Has Aged Gracefully, But Is It Still A Good Buy?
Finished in Polymetal Grey Metallic and accented by the black side mirror caps and 19-inch alloy wheels, on top of the Burgundy leather interior, the 2021 Mazda6 Kuro Edition features the same standard equipment as the Sport trim level. This includes, among others, a premium sound system from Bose, heated steering wheel, keyless entry and LED DRLs.
“Whether it’s the family practicality of the Tourer or the executive looks of the Saloon you opt for, the Kuro Edition is perfect for customers who want a stand-out Mazda6 with unique details inside and out; plus, with just 50 examples of each coming to the UK, exclusivity is guaranteed”, said Mazda UK’s Managing Director, Jeremy Thomson.
