The Mazda 626 is a class D car that was launched in 1979. Buyers can choose a body type from the proposed four: sedan, station wagon, hatchback, coupe. The first generation cars were produced from 1979 to 1982. The second generation was produced from 1983 to 1987 and is characterized by a significant replenishment of the range of engines. Cars of the third generation Mazda 626 appeared in 1987 and had an increasingly modern exterior design. Almost in parallel, the fourth generation was also produced - from 1991 to 1997. The fifth generation of cars (1997-2002) was the last in the history of the Mazda 626.
Mazda 626
Throughout the history of its existence, the Mazda 626 has been equipped with several types of engines that do not have much variety in volumes, but differ in power. So, gasoline engines with a volume of 1.6 liters with a capacity of 80 hp, 1.8 and 1.9 liters with a capacity of 90 hp were installed on cars. (later - 100 hp), 2.0 l with 75 hp, 101 hp, 115 hp, 120 hp, 136 hp, 148 hp and others. Diesel engines were represented by a 2-liter unit, developing from 60 to 100 hp.
Driver reviews on fuel consumption Mazda 626
- Roman, Irkutsk. I am the owner of Mazda 626 2001 2.0 diesel. The appearance, of course, betrays its age, but the mechanical part is completely in order, the engine has not been disassembled since the purchase. Regarding consumption: in the city it takes about 6-7 liters of diesel, outside the city - 4-4.5 liters.
- Oleg, Ryazan. Mazda 626, engine 1.8, hatchback body, year of manufacture - 1999. I did not purchase a new one, the mileage was 55 thousand km. During my tenure, I only replaced the brake pads and timing belt. Good and reliable car. Gasoline consumption on the highway is 5-6 liters, in the city up to 10 liters.
- Marat, Chelyabinsk. I bought a car a long time ago, the model itself is 1999. The car does not cause trouble at all, even if I load it to the eyeballs, it takes it out without problems. The salon is spacious, there is enough space for everything at home. The quality of the chassis is beyond praise. Appetites are quite moderate: highway - 6-7 liters, city - 9-10 liters.
- Ilya, Magnitogorsk. Mazda 626 2001, 2.0L engine. Great car, everything suits me in it. When I stop by for a checkup, everyone is surprised that a car of such an elderly age has such good performance. The engine is powerful, allowed to accelerate to 200-210 km / h, but not much fuel is consumed: 7-11 liters.
- Dmitry, Pyatigorsk. For relatively little money, I bought a great car. Mazda 626 2002, 2.0 engine, runs on diesel. Very powerful, although it consumes an average of 5-6 liters. Unlike petrol models, I have no problems with the factory even in severe frosts.
- Ruslan, Moscow. For five years now I have been riding a 1996 Mazda 626. Periodically flashed the thought to find something newer, but never found anything worthwhile. The car is powerful (engine 1.9 liters), but the consumption is relatively small - in the city it reaches 10 liters, in the countryside 5-6 liters.
- Igor, Saratov. Mazda 626 2.0 gasoline, 1999 assembly. I have had a car for two years now, I bought it with a mileage of 140 thousand km. The appearance immediately won me over, and, having made a diagnosis, I made sure that no one looked into the engine and it was in full working order. On average, gasoline consumption is about 8-9 liters per hundred. I think that for a 2-liter engine this is super.
- Leonid, Kostroma. Although I bought the car and not new, but in good condition. Now I have a 1996 Mazda 626 with a 1.8 liter engine. I am a caring owner, I do everything according to plan, I put only original spare parts, it seems to me that putting Chinese parts on a “Japanese” is a mockery of the car. It consumes a little, from 6 to 10 liters of gasoline.
- Eugene, Ufa. Mazda 626 2000 release, engine 1.9. The reliability of the Japanese is beyond doubt, the car feels great both as a city car and when driving on a suburban highway. Maneuverability, dynamism, convenience and comfort are the main qualities. After cleaning the fuel system, it just began to fly. And the flow is not annoying: on the highway 6 liters, in the city up to 11 liters.
The production of Mazda 626 cars was launched in 1979. First of all, cars of this brand were sent to dealers in the United States, in fact, the index 626 itself was assigned to separate right-handed left-handed cars.
Initially, the manufacturer Toyo Kogyo put a 75 horsepower engine into their car. Naturally, the car was set in motion by distributing torque to the rear axle. In other words, rear wheel drive.
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
At the beginning of its evolution, the Mazda 626 was marketed as a budget sedan with a very meager set of features in terms of engine power and passenger comfort. However, in the process of constant growth and the introduction of innovative technologies, manufacturers were able to squeeze out of this baby a great car with a decent range of options.
Over the almost twenty-year history of the creation of 626, the outer shell and filling have changed several times. Restyled models were constantly produced, traction and power units were improved.
The always recognizable style of Mazda remained unchanged. Any modification was supplied with an internal combustion engine with a decent power reserve. This allows the simplest configuration of the Mazda 626 to balance on the verge of a passenger car and a sports car.
The power unit in the engine compartment has been repeatedly changed. The first internal combustion engine ran on gasoline, and only in 1982 a diesel engine with a capacity of 64 horsepower was introduced into the engine compartment. The car received the Mazda 626 GC 2 sedan index.

The engine for the Mazda 626 of the third generation with a station wagon body was equipped with a more resourceful and powerful potential. In this line there were three modifications with a diesel engine, which were produced from 1988 to 1997. In the third generation of cars, they began to install all-wheel drive, which certainly brought the 626 to a new level.
In the fourth generation, you will no longer see station wagons or coupes. Only sedans and hatchbacks. Each new round of evolution, new engineering solutions for the power unit appear. In the penultimate version, there will no longer be weak engines of 50-60 horsepower.

Each generation of Japanese cars has its pros and cons, especially the powertrain. It's no secret that a car older than eight years old begins to eat up oil. In the Mazda 626, this happens earlier. The 626 line is no longer in production and is considered obsolete, but it cannot be written off. With proper care and timely maintenance and replacement of consumables, a car will last for decades.
You can hardly meet the first and second generation on the streets of cities, after all, time does not spare anyone. But you can pay attention to cars manufactured from 1991 to 2002. So, the most common engines are two-liter, 115 - 116 strong gasoline-powered units.
Do not buy a diesel car of this age. The constant change and modification of the components of the engine compartment has done its job over time, and now it is quite difficult to find glow plugs for a diesel engine and other elements. A gasoline engine can still be found on parsing or in a parts store. Of course, this applies to cars manufactured before 1998 - 2000. 
Summing up, we can say that the Mazda 626 produced in the last century still has the potential to surprise its owner. It is better to check the engine of the six more carefully, this does not mean that everything is bad in it. Diesel certainly loses to gasoline in terms of power and reliability.
Having chosen the Mazda 626 1.6, while driving, you will definitely want something more powerful. Therefore, it is better to choose 2.0 and 115 l / s. She has enough agility for another five or seven years for sure.
Advantages of Mazda 626 engines
It is quite difficult to compare the 626 engine of any modification with any other engine. In the first years of production, this car was put on a par with BMW, in the USA it was believed that Mazda was a budget version of the product of the German concern.
Advantages of the line of two-liter injection internal combustion engines of gasoline fuel:
- Acute gas. The instant transmission of information from the gas pedal to the damper allows you to send a signal to open it very quickly.
- Good power of the power unit and its traction properties.
- Quiet operation at idle. When the car is parked or in neutral, the engine is almost inaudible. But as soon as you turn on the gear and press the gas pedal, a beast breaks out from under the hood. This is what distinguishes Japanese cars, the ability to make quick decisions in any situation.
These machines also have one significant drawback. All engines over 10 years old require engine oil additions from time to time.
I chose the type of car for 2 years, at that time I used the Volkswagen Passat sedan 1.6l turbodiesel. I chose Mazda as the most reliable car of that year in Europe, and also on the advice of a mechanic who has been servicing my Passat for 9 years. Then he looked for his Mazda in the markets. There were many offers, but they did not suit me. Either a rusty body, or a boom from the exhaust, or a cut upholstery, or worn pedals and a driver's mat, or an incomplete package. Finally I found a car with an automatic transmission, it was good in all its configuration, but a careful examination on the lift revealed that the right front fender was replaced, it was painted well on the outside, you can hardly distinguish it from the whole body in color, and the inside was not painted at all and not even straightened. Didn't take it. After 3 months wandered around the market. Mazda stood on the sidelines, 12 pieces. All with defects. In four rows from them, he noticed a Mazda 626. There was a dent on the hood up to 0.5 cm deep, as if two boards from a shelf had fallen on top of it. Passed by in 20 minutes. returned again, walked around on all sides, left. After half an hour, I was returning home and accidentally found myself near this car again. The owner sat in the cabin and wrote something. He came out and said: if you pass by for the third time, then at least look under the hood. I agreed. It turned out that the engine was absolutely clean, all parts - as from the factory, not a single bolt even with a hint of rust. Other Mazdas had aluminum with significant mold-like corrosion. That year there were a lot of "drowned" from Germany on the market. Mazda equipment: electric mirrors, electric lifts for all doors, cruise control, climate control, fog lights, headlight range control, radio, 4 airbags, full spare tire, warning triangle, a set of new winter tires, all documentation, a service book, an atlas of German roads and a bank of engine oil (synthetics ). Got it! I still drive. The consumption of 92 gasoline in the city is up to 10 liters in winter and 8 liters in summer, on the highway - 5.5 ... 6.2 liters. When driving over 130 km / h, the consumption rises to 8.0 ... 8.5 liters, but I don’t drive like that.
The first Mazda 626 appeared in 1979 in the US market. It was a cramped rear wheel drive car, powered by a SOHC 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 75 hp.
Index 626 is worn by all left-hand drive Mazda vehicles. Similar right-hand drive models were produced in Japan under the name Capella. Thanks to the split-reclining rear seatbacks, the Mazda 626 moved out of the American compact class in terms of roominess. By European standards, the Mazda 626 belongs to the middle class of cars (size class D).
The body series of the 626s were marked with two letters - “G” - the letter for the entire 626 series and the second Latin letter, which directly designates the body of a particular modification. The history of the 626 model is the modifications GC - release (1983-1987), GD - release (1987-1993), GE - release since 1992, GV (station wagon) - release (1988-1994), GF - release since 1997, GW - release since 1998
Throughout its history, the Mazda 626 has been offered in 4-door sedan, 5-door hatchback, station wagon and 2-door coupe body styles. Also, on the basis of various bodies, a tuning, "sports" modification of the GT was produced.
Over time, the 626th model underwent changes, new ideas of designers were embodied, obsolete and impractical details disappeared. For example, unlike the very first representatives of the Mazda 626, on later cars, the headlights were made in the form of a single unit. The changes also affected the interior trim. The power window switch has moved into the inner cover of the door handle.
The engines that were installed on the GC series differ in index. The most common is FE. It included a whole family of 2-liter engines (more precisely, 1998 cc), which differed in the number of valves and the power system. So, in the FE series from 1983 to 1987. two-liter carburetor engines without a catalyst with a capacity of 101 hp were produced. (index 2000/FE). In 1986, the FE index was replenished with a 2.0i turbocharged injection engine (FE-EGI) with a catalyst and an output of 120 hp, which was placed on the five-door versions of the GT.
The following year, 1987, the Mazda 626 GC also began to install two-liter 12- and 16-valve injection engines with a capacity of 109 and 148 hp, respectively. and carbureted eight and twelve-valve catalysts with a volume of 2 liters with a capacity of 90 and 103 hp. respectively. On an eight-valve injection engine with a power of 90 hp. catalyst was not installed. All this family went under the index FE. In addition to 2.0 engines, the GC was equipped with engines of the old (since 1983) F6 index with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 80 hp. Diesel power units were also installed on the GC. These were 2L RF engines. 60 HP Naturally, many of the engines of these series “migrated” to the next 626 series.
In June 1987, with the advent of the GD modification, the body lines became clearer, the contours more rapid.
In 1988, a station wagon appeared in the Mazda 626 lineup.
In 1991, with the advent of new sedan and hatchback bodies, the station wagon changed the interior of the cabin, still remaining in the old and not updated body.
In April 1997, a new generation Mazda 626 appeared. It was supposed to strengthen the former and somewhat lost glory of a strong, reliable, and most importantly inexpensive family car, which was originally conceived by the Mazda 626. The cars had a transverse engine and front-wheel drive.
The body was subjected to global changes. Roundness disappeared from the exterior, the car acquired the features of a typical European. Smooth contours of the body do not flow into each other as before, but meet at sharply defined angles.
The car is 100mm shorter, 40mm narrower and 30mm taller. Even though the car is smaller on the outside, it is much larger on the inside. Together with the sedan, a hatchback was also released, which has a rather interesting design of the rear trunk lid and lights.
The suspension was almost completely borrowed from the previous generation 626. However, all the same, its main parts responsible for the elastic properties of the suspension, such as shock absorbers, anti-roll bars and shock absorber springs, have been replaced with new ones. Minor changes have been made to the rear suspension, and more specifically to the rear stabilizer struts, a sore point of the previous 626 model.
The station wagon of this generation has undergone the most dramatic changes in the entire history of its release. Its new silhouette turned out to be harmonious, modern, impetuous, with a touch of sportiness. It has a spacious and comfortable interior.
The standard equipment of cars of this generation included: electric front windows and mirrors, four airbags, ABS, height-adjustable steering column and built-in immobilizer. In more expensive versions, automatic climate control, traction control and a trip computer are installed, showing instantaneous fuel consumption, remaining gasoline in kilometers, etc. For those who want more, an impressive list of additional equipment is provided.
The next upgrade took place at the end of 1999. In the exterior, the main changes occurred in the design of the front: the bumper became more powerful, the side moldings were painted in body color, the wide chrome strip above the radiator lining in the form of an elongated sector with an oval Mazda emblem in the middle disappeared. Updates also touched on the interior design: chrome-plated interior handles and latches; inserts stylized as ebony; instrument scales, made in white; steering wheel trimmed with two-tone leather of various textures. Thanks to the transformation of the rear seat, long loads can be transported in a sedan.
Three engines were installed on the Mazda 626: two gasoline and a diesel. A 1.8-liter gasoline engine developed 90 hp. (100 hp after 2000). More powerful 2-liters were produced in two versions: one with a capacity of 115 hp, the other with 136 hp. 100 hp diesel appeared in 1998, a little later they added another 10 hp.
The suspension practically copies the previous generation of the 626s, only the moves have increased, and the energy intensity has increased.
With modest external dimensions for its class (a little more than 4.5 m long), the Mazda 6 has the largest trunk and one of the most spacious interiors. In addition, if necessary, it can be transformed, with the rear and front seats folded down (by the way, the rear one folds in parts), almost three-meter boards can be loaded into the car. It is noteworthy that the same folded seats turn into dining tables, and a mini-bar is arranged in the rear armrest.
In order to achieve the greatest safety, the car body was designed using the latest Maidas technology (an effective shock distribution and damping structure). The vehicle is equipped with five three-point belts with a pyrotechnic pretensioner. Multi-layer zinc-nickel galvanization of the metal, followed by eight-layer painting and a powerful anti-corrosion coating, allows the manufacturer to provide a 12-year warranty on the body against through corrosion.
The electronic exhaust gas recirculation system, which is complemented by an electronic traction control system (TCS), contributes to improving environmental friendliness and fuel economy. Taking into account the speed of rotation of the wheels, the angle of rotation of the steering wheel and engine speed, the system sends commands to the control computer that reduce the fuel supply.
The generation that debuted in 1997 was the last for the 626. It was later replaced by the Mazda 6.
