Specifications Mazda Millenia 1994

A few words about the model range

Mazda Millenia is a fairly successful and popular model from the Japanese manufacturer. Its production did not last long, but cars under the summarized name were produced in varying quantities from 1994 to 2002. In essence, Millenia is a relatively inexpensive premium model.

It was designed and produced within the framework of the Amati project. Back in the late 80s of the 20th century, Mazda thought about creating a separate brand within its auto concern, under which it was going to sell inexpensive premium cars. Unfortunately, the Japanese were unable to fully implement such an idea. Under the auspices of Amati, Mazda released only a few sedans and coupes, some of which were successful, while others found no laurels.

The Millenia model is one of the most successful cars from the extinct Mazda sub-brand. Under this name it was sold in Europe and America. At home, the car was sold as the Mazda Xedos 9.

The 4-door executive class sedan had good functionality, moderately high power and excellent reliability, but even such characteristics did not allow it to become a hit in the automotive market. All the competitors of the Japanese automaker are to blame.

In the period from the early 80s to the mid-00s, there was fierce competition among premium models and the opening of the new Amati project from Mazda was an extremely risky undertaking for the company. Partly he was justified, partly not. In any case, the automaker did not suffer significant financial losses, but managed to gain experience in the creation and subsequent popularization of luxury cars. Of course, Mazda was unable to compete on equal terms with such industry giants as Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but it still left its mark. It is not for nothing that Milenia is still found on the roads of Europe and the USA and has many admirers.

Engines installed on Mazda Milenia

The Millenia model was equipped with only three power plants running on gasoline:

• KF-ZE is an engine with a volume of 2-2.5 liters and a power of 160-200 horsepower. It was created in both sporty, enhanced variations, and completely ordinary ones for everyday driving.
• KL-DE is a unit produced in one variation and has a 2.5-liter volume with 170 “horses”.
• KJ-ZEM is the most powerful engine in the model range with a volume of 2.2-2.3 liters, but with a boosted power of up to 220 horsepower through the use of a turbine (compressor).

Mazda Millenia models produced before 2000 were equipped equally with all noted engines. With the beginning of this century, the automaker abandoned the use of KL-DE and KJ-ZEM, giving preference to the modified KF-ZE models. The characteristics of each unit are presented in more detail in the tables below:
