The 1999-2002 Mazda 626 was a mid-size sedan that marked the transition of the nameplate from a compact to a larger, more refined offering. This generation, internally designated as the "GE" platform, was a significant departure from its predecessors, boasting a sleeker, more modern design with sharp lines and a more spacious interior. Under the hood, the 626 offered a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 2.0-liter unit producing 130 horsepower and a 2.5-liter V6 capable of generating 164 horsepower. Both engines were mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, offering a balance between fuel efficiency and performance. The 626 featured a well-equipped interior with comfortable seating, a spacious trunk, and a range of amenities depending on trim level. Convenience features like power windows, locks, and mirrors were standard, while options included a sunroof, leather seats, and an upgraded stereo system. The 1999-2002 Mazda 626 was praised for its comfortable ride, responsive handling, and reliable performance. It also boasted a well-appointed interior with ample legroom and cargo space. As a testament to its quality and reliability, the 626 garnered positive reviews from automotive critics and earned a reputation for being a solid, dependable car. However, it faced stiff competition from other mid-size sedans on the market, and its sales volume gradually declined over its production run. The 626 was discontinued in 2002, marking the end of a long-running nameplate that had been a mainstay in Mazda's lineup for over two decades. Despite its eventual discontinuation, the 1999-2002 Mazda 626 remained a popular choice for used car buyers, appreciated for its comfort, practicality, and overall value. This model year range, in particular, is still regarded by many as the quintessential "last of the true 626s," embodying the spirit of the nameplate before it transitioned into the larger Mazda 6.
