The 1996 Mazda 626 MX-6 was a sporty coupe that represented a significant shift in design philosophy for Mazda. Following the mid-1990s redesign, the MX-6 moved away from the boxy, angular styling of its predecessors and embraced a more flowing, aerodynamic aesthetic. This change was evident in its sleek, sloping roofline, rounded headlights, and contoured bodywork. Under the hood, the 1996 MX-6 offered two engine options: a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine generating 140 horsepower, and a 2.5-liter, V6 engine producing a more potent 168 horsepower. The MX-6's handling was praised for its responsiveness and agility, thanks in part to a well-tuned suspension system and a relatively low center of gravity. While not designed for extreme performance, the MX-6 provided a satisfying driving experience with its balance between comfort and sportiness. The 1996 Mazda 626 MX-6 offered a range of features aimed at enhancing both comfort and convenience. Inside the spacious cabin, drivers were greeted by a well-designed dashboard and comfortable seats with ample headroom and legroom. Standard features included power windows, power locks, and air conditioning. Optional equipment, depending on trim level, expanded upon these basics with features such as cruise control, a sunroof, and a premium sound system. Safety was also a priority in the MX-6's design, incorporating features like dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes (ABS). Ultimately, the 1996 Mazda 626 MX-6 represented a successful blend of sporty styling, practical features, and engaging driving dynamics, making it a popular choice among those seeking a stylish and fun-to-drive coupe.
