The Mazda Protegé BG, also known as the Mazda 323 in some markets, was a compact car produced by Mazda from 1989 to 1994. It represented the third generation of the Mazda 323 model line, replacing the previous "B" series. The BG series was a significant departure from its predecessors, introducing a new platform, styling, and a refined level of interior comfort and refinement. The Protegé BG was available in a variety of body styles, including a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan, and a five-door hatchback. Powertrain options included a 1.3L and 1.5L gasoline engine, with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. The Protegé BG was known for its smooth ride, responsive handling, and fuel-efficiency, making it a popular choice for commuters and families alike.
The Protegé BG marked a turning point in Mazda's design language, showcasing a more rounded and aerodynamic approach compared to its previous boxy designs. The interior featured a more modern and driver-focused cabin layout, with improved materials and ergonomics. The Protegé BG also introduced several safety features, including driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes, and crumple zones. Despite its success, the Protegé BG faced competition from other popular compact cars of the era, including the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra. Nevertheless, the Protegé BG solidified Mazda's reputation for building reliable and affordable compact cars, laying the foundation for the future success of the Protegé model line.
