Fifth-Generation 626: 1998-2002
With the two-door MX-6 gone, Mazda concentrated on making the 1998 four-door 626 more clearly competitive with cars like the Accord and Camry that had been steadily growing larger through the years. So, no surprise, the 626 got larger as well.
Now riding on a 105.1-inch wheelbase (2.3 inches longer than the '97 626) and stretching out 186.8 inches long overall (2.4 inches longer than before), the 626 was solidly positioned in the heart of the mainstream sedan market. But bigger as the new 626 was, most of the mechanical elements were revised pieces from the previous generation. The front suspension was MacPherson struts, the rear Mazda's well-sorted multilink system and the structure was still a unibody. Both engines were also familiar though the base 2.0-liter, DOHC, 16-valve four now made 130 hp (up five) and the 2.5-liter, DOHC, 24-valve V6 now cranked out 170 hp (up six). Transmission choices? That's right, you could have either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
105.1 אינץ' זה 105.1 * 2.54 = 2.67 מטר בסיס גלגלים בקטלוגים בארץ מאותם שנים רשום שהבסיס הוא 2.61 מישהו יכול לאשר איזשהו נתון?
