Review of the car "Mazda Xedos 9"

Mazda is a very popular brand in the Russian market. One of the most popular models is "Xedos 9". The car belongs to the business class and was serially produced from 92nd to 2002. The car was delivered not only to the European market, but also to the United States, as well as the United Arab Emirates. What did Mazda Xedos 9 get such recognition for? Overview of the Japanese sedan - later in this article.

Design

Even now, more than 20 years later, this car looks solid. The machine is endowed with original optics and a relief hood. In the lower part of the bumper there is a cutout for the lensed fog lights. A little higher is a strip with a turn signal. Lattice radiator with chrome edging and company logo. Side of the car looks very impressive due to the long wheelbase and "heavy" arches. In standard equipment, the car was equipped with 15-inch cast wheels with a high profile. However, the arches are so large that it is easy to fit 18-inch wheels. With them, the car looks even more presentable.

Dimensions, clearance

Judging by the size of the body, this is a real "barge". So, the length of the car is 4.83 meters, width - 1.77 meters, height - 1.4 meters. The car has a long wheelbase of 2.75 meters, which, along with low ground clearance (only 12 centimeters on the factory discs) does not allow easy overcoming road roughness. The car is designed exclusively for flat roads. At the smallest pits, he immediately clings to the bottom. Perhaps, this is the only drawback of a Japanese business-class sedan.

Salon

The interior of Mazda looks very cozy and luxurious. The sedan has smooth, restrained lines on the front panel. The seats are velor, with good lateral support. Also for the driver and the passenger in the front seat a common armrest is provided. But its breadth is enough to keep elbows from touching each other. The car is very spacious. In terms of comfort, "Mazda Xedos 9" is confident competition to the German "Mercedes" in the 210th body. The quality of noise insulation at a height, even after such a long time. What else is said about the "Mazda Xedos 9" reviews? The owners praise the quality of the finish. Velor interior is very durable, does not tear and does not get dirty for a long time. The car has all the necessary niches and adjustments. True, the steering column itself is not adjustable in height. But this drawback is more than offset by a wide range of settings for the driver's seat. Every detail in the cabin emphasizes the status of this car. The machine is characterized by high smooth running and ergonomic.

Specifications

The range of power units is represented by three gasoline engines with a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders. The base for the Mazda Xedos 9 engine had a volume of 1995 cubic centimeters. This 6-cylinder unit with multi-point injection developed power of 146 horsepower at 6 thousand revolutions. The peak torque is 176 Nm. Despite the fact that this is the basic engine, it was not bad thrust. Dynamics indicators for those years were more than worthy. So, the acceleration to a hundred took 10.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 203 kilometers per hour. In terms of fuel consumption, this unit was the most economical. So, in the urban cycle, he consumed 11 liters per 100 kilometers. On the road - 6,3. In more expensive trim levels, "Mazda Xedos 9" was equipped with an engine with a volume of 2255 cubic centimeters. This V-shaped motor developed power of 170 horsepower. With him, "Mazda Xedos 9" was dispersed to hundreds in 9 and a half seconds. The maximum speed was 220 kilometers per hour. The fuel consumption in the city cycle is about 12.5 liters. On the road this figure was 6.8 liters.

The top-of-the-line for the Mazda Xedos is the 2.5-liter engine, which develops a capacity of 214 horsepower. The dynamics are excellent, they mention the owners' feedback. The first hundred machine was typed in just 8.6 seconds. The maximum speed is 235 kilometers per hour. Even now, this motor is able to give odds to modern TSI and TFSI-motors. Now let's move on to the shortcomings. Reviews note that this is the most "voracious" motor in the line. For a hundred kilometers along the city, he spends exactly 14 liters on passport data. On the highway, the flow rate drops to 7.7. Owners say that the fault is the old automatic transmission design. "Mazda Xedos 9" was equipped with mechanics only in the initial complete sets.

Price

It is worth noting that the price of this car has fallen dramatically. So, the version of the 93-ies of the issue with MKPP can be purchased for 190-230 thousand rubles. But the latest modifications with a top engine will cost 350-380 thousand. But even at such a cost, its purchase is advisable. After all, for this price you will not buy even a budget VAZ (unless in a used condition). The owners' comments say that the engines on Mazda have a high resource. And the quality of the assembly itself is an order of magnitude higher than that of the domestic cars. Therefore, "Mazda Ksedos 9" is an excellent alternative to new budget foreign cars and AvtoVAZ.
