The Mazda 929, a full-size luxury car, was also marketed as the Efini MS-9. For 30 years, this vehicle represented the pinnacle of Mazda's engineering and design. It often shared its chassis with the Mazda Luce, which it eventually replaced in 1973. After ceasing production, its successor became the Mazda 9.
In Japan, the 929 was considered large and was available as a coupe, sedan, or station wagon. It initially featured a 1.8-liter inline 4 Mazda 1800 engine, capable of delivering 83 horsepower. The vehicle had a wheelbase of 98.9 inches, a front track of 54.3 inches, a rear track of 53.9 inches, a length of 173.4 inches, a width of 65.6 inches, and weighed 2,414 pounds. During its first generation from 1973 to 1981, the Mazda 929 offered five different engines.
The second generation debuted in 1981, continuing as the export version of the Mazda Luce. It featured a large front-engine, rear-wheel-drive setup on the new HB platform, shared with the Mazda Cosmo. This generation utilized three different engines throughout its lifespan.
The third generation appeared a few years later, showcasing a four-door sedan with a slightly larger hardtop model, featuring four doors and no pillars. The engine was upgraded to a double overhead cam type with 24 valves, enhancing fuel economy and performance. Additional features included an anti-lock braking system, an electric antenna, and exterior updates.
The final generation remained Mazda's luxury flagship sedan, boasting a redesigned, more aerodynamic body, and a wheelbase five inches longer than its predecessor. Dual airbags were introduced, and the engine gained an extra five horsepower. A glass moonroof replaced the previous metal version, and the Premium Package offered wood console trim and a rear-armrest storage compartment. Adjustable front shoulder belts, leather upholstery, remote keyless entry, and wood interior trim added to its appeal. Known for its well-controlled, responsive steering and top-class braking prowess, the 929 offered a quiet ride with excellent visibility due to slender roof pillars. Its dashboard featured large, clear analog gauges and conveniently placed controls.
Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts provide high-quality components to maintain the 929’s impressive qualities. Their superior product range has made them a favorite among car enthusiasts.
While the Mazda 929 may have had minor drawbacks, such as an uncomfortable driving position, limited passenger and cargo space, and reduced traction in wet conditions, it compensated with a strong anti-lock braking system, exceptional steering and handling, and a serene cabin experience.
