Mazda continues to impress car buyers today, just as they have since the first sedan model was introduced almost 60 years ago. In 2024, Mazda is pushing boundaries further with its current flagship model, the Mazda3. Before we get to the specs of this thoroughly modern sedan, here’s a look at Mazda sedans through the decades, compiled by your friends at Green Mazda.
MAZDA Luce
Mazda's inaugural flagship sedan debuted in 1966. The Mazda Luce was designed by renowned creator Giorgetto Giugiaro, who lent his talent to numerous luxury sports cars and even a Nikon camera.
MAZDA RX-4
In the 1970s, the Mazda RX-4 gained acclaim for its robust performance, engaging driving dynamics, and the seamless operation of its rotary engine.
MAZDA 929
During its time in production, from the early ‘70s to the late ‘90s, the Mazda 929 evolved into a larger, rear-wheel-drive luxury flagship sedan. Heated seats and oscillating dashboard vents, rare at the time, helped it stand out among its peers.
MAZDA Millenia
Following the Mazda 929, the Millenia emerged as a genuine premium sedan, boasting numerous engineering innovations. Among its most notable features was its 2.3-liter, supercharged Miller Cycle V6 engine.
MAZDA6
The Mazda6 debuted in 2002 and proved to be precisely what Mazda required with a sportier and more expressive design that injected excitement into the lineup.
MAZDA3
In 2024, the Mazda3 continues its legacy of innovative engineering, sleek design, and focus on driving dynamics. Offering both sedan and hatchback versions, the 2024 Mazda3 presents a selection between two 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines, including an energetic turbocharged variant.
