The current Mazda Mazda6 is 194.5″ long, 72.4″ wide, on a 109.8″ wheelbase, weighing 3,413 lb. Since 2003 it has grown 4% in length and gained 9% in weight. At 16.2 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Mazda Mazda6 generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2003–2009 | 187.4″ | 70.1″ | 56.7″ | 105.5″ | 3,144 lb |
| 2010–2022 | 194.5″ | 72.4″ | 57.9″ | 109.8″ | 3,413 lb |
From 2003 to today the Mazda6 gained 7.1″ of length (4%) and 269 lb of weight (9%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Mazda6 year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 20 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a Mazda6 fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 16.2 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 16.2 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 896 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 72.4″ | 73.6″ | -1.2″ |
| Wheelbase | 109.8″ | 112.2″ | -2.4″ |
| Curb weight | 3,413 lb | 4,015 lb | -602 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
