The Mazda Xedos 6 and Eunos 500 are compact executive cars that were produced between 1992 and 1999, with the Xedos 6 being sold in Europe by Mazda, and the Eunos 500 being sold in Japan and Australia by Eunos. The cars were not sold in North America, with the larger Xedos 9/Millenia model offered there instead. In total, 72,101 Xedos 6 and Eunos 500 automobiles were produced.[6]
History
The Eunos 500 was initially presented at the 1991
The Xedos 6 was available with two different engines: a 1.6-litre
The Eunos 500 used different engines to the European models. The 1.6-litre engine was not offered in Japan, with the base model instead being a 1.8-litre K8-ZE V6,[16] producing 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) and having a top speed of 195 km/h (121 mph).[17] The 2-litre V6 was offered in Japan, but in a higher state of tune; Japanese models produced 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) from their KF-ZE engines,[16] and had a top speed of 205 km/h (127 mph).[18] For 1994, a 1.8-litre straight-four was introduced as the new base model, with a power output of 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp),[19] whilst the 1.8-litre V6 was discontinued.[20] In 1996, following Mazda's decision to axe the Eunos brand,[21] the Eunos 500 was rebranded as the Mazda Eunos 500, and remained in production under that name until 1999.[22]
