To celebrate reaching the one million unit production milestone for the Mazda 6 sedan (known as the Mazda Atenza in Japan), Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that a special commemorative model, the '23EX Brown Leather style' version Atenza, will be on sale at its Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan. The Hiroshima-based car maker has produced over one million units of the 6/Atenza to date. Job#1 was in February 2002. (Note: The global production figure was confirmed internally by Mazda Motor Corporation.)

The 23EX Brown Leather style Atenza, based on the Atenza Sport, Sedan and Sport Wagon models, features exclusive brown leather seats. In addition, as two "firsts" for the Atenza series, the 23EX also delivers heated driver and passenger seats, along with chrome plated outer door handles, as standard equipment. Like many upper-segment European model sedans, the 23EX has brown leather seats for the comfort of its occupants and has a noticeably sporty appearance that refined driving enthusiasts demand.
