Mazda Capella / Also known as :
This group gathers midsize models derived from the Mazda Capella/626 platform. Known under various names depending on markets and generations (including Mazda 616, 626, Capella, Cronos, and the sportier MX-6), they offered a wide range of body styles from sedans and wagons to coupes. The Ford Telstar, sold mainly in Asia-Pacific, was a rebadged version built under the Mazda/Ford partnership. Together, these models represented Mazda’s global midsize car lineup, combining reliability, comfort, and in some cases sporty driving dynamics.
The Mazda Capella is a midsize car introduced in 1970, primarily sold in Japan and other Asian markets. Known internationally as the Mazda 626, the Capella combined practicality, reliability, and a comfortable ride, evolving through several generations into sedan, hatchback, coupe, and wagon variants. In Japan, it often featured trim levels and engines not always available abroad, including rotary-powered versions and sportier editions. The Capella became a cornerstone of Mazda’s lineup, offering an alternative to the Toyota Corona and Nissan Bluebird while reflecting Mazda’s blend of innovation and everyday usability.
