The figures from experts atCAPMonitor (November 2012) will be welcomed by fleet decision-makers, who will also be buoyed by the tax-efficiency and fuel economy of the Mazda6 thanks to breakthrough SKYACTIV technology featuring in Mazda?s new upper medium sector contender.
?
The all-new Mazda6, which goes on UK sale in January 2013 in saloon and Tourer body styles, has been given a three-year/60,000-mile residual value uplift of up to 7.5% versus the outgoing model, according to data from vehicle information providerCAP.
?
Major MPG and carbon dioxide emission improvements across the all-new Mazda6 range due to SKYACTIV Technology have contributed to the residual value enhancements.
?
Residual value predictions for the Mazda6 petrol-engined saloon range average 31.8%, the petrol-engined Tourer 33%, the diesel-engined saloon 31.6% and the diesel-engined Tourer 32.7%. Versus the current Mazda6, those figures represent an average uplift of 7.5% (petrol-engined Tourer), 7% (petrol-engined hatch as no saloon available), 2.6% (diesel-engined Tourer) and 2.4% (diesel-engined hatch as no saloon available).
?
Those forecasts, according toCAP, put the new Mazda6 comfortably ahead in the residual value stakes against the likes of the Vauxhall Insignia (average 23%), Ford Mondeo (28%), Volkswagen Passat (29%), Honda Accord (30%) and Toyota Avensis (31%).
?
Mazda forecasts that its biggest fleet seller in the range will be the 2.2 litre 150 PS SKYACTIV-D saloon SE-L Nav with a P11D value of ?23,140, emissions at a class-leading 108 g/km and combined cycle fuel economy of 67.3 mpg.CAPpredicts that the model will have a three-year/60,000-mile residual value of ?7,475 (32%).
?
In-depth analysis reveals that over three-years/60,000 miles the anticipated best-selling model in the new Mazda6 range will depreciate by ?15,665 which means it is a better choice for fleet operators than rivals such as the BMW 320d, Audi A4, Toyota Avensis, Honda Accord and Vauxhall Insignia (see chart below).

The top-selling diesel Tourer in the all-new Mazda6 range is predicted to be the 2.2 litre 150 PS SE-L Nav, which has emissions of 116 g/km and combined cycle fuel economy of 64.2 mpg. The model, with a P11D value of ?23,890, is forecast to have a residual value of ?7,975 (33%) at three years/60,000 miles.
?
Jeff Knight, editor of Monitor,CAP?s residual value forecast guide, said: ?The all-new Mazda6 is a large car with a striking road presence, with excellent cabin space for front and rear passengers.
?
?Key from a fleet perspective is emissions; like the recently launched Mazda CX-5 the Mazda6 has been built around the manufacturer?s SKYACTIV Technology. This enables the 150 PS diesel engine to deliver a CO2 figure for the saloon of 108 g/km placing it at least one company car benefit-in-kind tax band below virtually all the competition.
?
?However, CO2 emission performance and MPG is also critical for the used car market in respect of petrol engine cars, as buyers have a greater affinity to such models than the fleet market hence the greater residual value uplift.
?
?Together with high levels of specification, a more premium interior and excellent future residual values, the all-new Mazda6 should win a place at the front and centre of company car choice lists.?
?
Mazda head of fleet Steve Tomlinson said: ?Residual value forecasts for the all-new Mazda6 put the model ahead of key rivals from volume marques and enables the car to close in on premium badge models, which is what we hoped.
?
?Given the competitive pricing of the Mazda6 and the fact that on a model-for-model basis it beats key rivals in terms of price, MPG, CO2 emissions, standard specification and power, we anticipate strong residual values to be another vital attraction to fleet operators.
?
?Total cost of ownership is a key barometer for fleet chiefs in making their company car decisions and the forecasted first class all-new Mazda6 residual values, which make-up a large percentage of a model?s overall whole life cost figure, will contribute to triggering significant sales.?
