history
Mazda began selling the Xedos 9 in Germany in November 1993. In Japan it was marketed as the Eunos 800 , in America from 1995 as the Mazda Millenia .
In October 1995 the 2.5i V6 engine was revised, now it had an output of 120 kW with the same displacement . From autumn 2000 it was offered as the only motorization and exclusively with automatic transmission.
In the course of the construction period, the car received various revisions: In early 1997, it got the new trademark - the wing. In mid-1999 there was a slight facelift with white front indicators, a new steering wheel and modified rear lights.
In October 2000 the Xedos 9 was revised again. This time the changes were more noticeable, especially in the front area. This was characterized by new headlights, a larger radiator grille and a modified front apron and bumper. In addition, other colors for outside and inside and a subtly modified interior with a newly available navigation system were introduced. The Xedos 9 was now equipped with electrically adjustable front seats, a leather steering wheel and gear knob, ABS , four airbags and TCS as standard . Furthermore, an electric sliding glass roof and the modular Mazda audio system (hi-fi system) have now also been included in the standard equipment.
In December 2002 production was stopped due to insufficient sales.
