Mazda Unveils 'Millenia' Featuring Enhanced Equipment
- Popular audio system and safety items offered as standard equipment -
| Mazda Motor Corporation today announces the introduction of the upgraded flagship car Mazda Millenia. The BOSE sound system and traction control system are now standard on the "25M" version, and a DVD navigation system and water-repellent windshield are standard on the "25M Luxury Package." With new and appealing body colors available, the new Millenia goes on sale today at Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan. |
| Since its debut in 1993 as the Eunos 800 with an emphasis on "Standards that will last for 10 years," the Millenia has enjoyed popularity in Japan, Europe and across North America as Mazda's premium sedan due to its long lasting value and appeal. In July 2000, major changes were made to the Millenia to further enhance its quality as a high-class sports sedan featuring excellent styling and driving performance. |
| In addition to making improvements to meet the exhaust emissions regulatory level for 2000, Mazda has reviewed the grade composition of the Millenia to make its presence stand out further as Mazda's flagship car. Withdrawing the 20M version with its 2.0-liter engine, Mazda has focused attention on the deluxe 2.5-liter versions, while upgrading the equipment. The Millenia has newly adopted the popular Atenza body color, Silver Contrail Metallic. |
