Complete Engines for Mazda MX-6

For several decades, Mazda has strived to be seen as an automotive brand closely associated with performance-oriented cars accessible to the general buying public. Indeed, since 2000, the small Japanese automaker has used the “zoom-zoom” phrase to describe what it terms the “emotion of motion” that its cars possess. Preceding the use of that phrase in Mazda’s commercials—but embodying it nonetheless—is the Mazda MX-6.

What kind of vehicle is the Mazda MX-6?

Produced from 1987 to 1997, the Mazda MX-6 was designed as a front-wheel-drive sport coupe. Prior to its arrival, Mazda produced its compact Mazda 626 as a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan. With its debut, the MX-6 used the same chassis as the former and consequently replaced it. By then, the 626 had become a mid-size vehicle; the new ride used the same chassis (GD) as a result.

The car had two production cycles. The first one ran from the 1988 model year to the 1992 model year, and it was split into the DX, LX, LE, and GT trim levels. They were all powered by Mazda’s F2 engines, which were pinned to either a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. For the second cycle, which ran from 1993 to 1997, the coupe used the brand new GE platform. The four models of the first generation were replaced by the RS and the LS, and the F2 gave way to FS and KL machines.

What engines are in the Mazda MX-6?

The first-generation vehicle uses an F2 engine, and the second-generation vehicle uses FS and KL ones. With the exception of the KL, which is a V6, all Mazda MX-6 workhorses are inline 4-cylinder (I4) machines.

  • First generation (1988–1992): Powering the DX, LX, and LE trims of the MX-6 is a 2.2-liter F2 I4 that produces 110 horsepower. The top-level GT variant goes with a turbocharged version that churns out 145 horsepower, which is why it is distinctively named F2T (with the "T standing for turbo).
  • Second generation (1993–1997): The RS trim uses the 2.0-liter FS I4, which generates 118 horsepower. The higher-level LS goes with the KL-DE, a 2.5-liter V6 that initially produced 164 horsepower. However, with the addition of an on-board diagnostics system to the car after the 1995 model year, the KL-DE horsepower was reduced to 160. Notably, the 1995–1997 LS variants are often referred to as the GE2 as a nod to the second iteration of the GE platform that the car uses.
What is the MX-6 A-spec?

The codename A-spec refers to the variant that Mazda produced for the U.S. market during the vehicle’s second production cycle (1993–1997). The other two—E-spec and J-spec—were the variants for Europe and Japan, respectively. The A-spec was split into two trim levels: the RS and the LS. In addition to getting a 2.5-liter V6 (while the RS ran on a 2.0-liter I4), the LS came equipped with alloy wheels, fog lights, a low rear spoiler, and the choice of a CD player and leather upholstery.
