About Mazda Millenia

The 1996-2002 Mazda Millenia is a 4-door, 5-seat Sedan, available in 4 trims, ranging from the PS to the S. Upon introduction, the $28,875 PS is equipped with a standard 2.5L, 6-cylinder, engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. Automatic transmission is standard. The $31,075 S is equipped with a standard 2.3L, 6-cylinder, engine that achieves 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Automatic transmission is standard.

Mazda is a car company that isn’t scared to think outside the box, especially when it comes to inventing engines. Mazda is well known for its use of the Wankel rotary engine, especially in the RX-7 and RX-8. More recently, the company announced its revolutionary SkyActiv-X family of engines, which could potentially rival electric vehicles in terms of ‘well-to-wheel’ emissions.

However, there is one incredibly bizarre Mazda engine you may not have heard of: the supercharged V6 KJ-ZEM. Used only in the Mazda Millenia (sold as the Xedos 9 in Europe), the KJ-ZEM is definitely not your typical V6 engine. It has a displacement of just 2.25 litres, less than many mainstream four-cylinder engines. But what made the KJ-ZEM particularly unique was its unconventional combustion cycle. In fact, it was the first mass-produced passenger car engine to run on the Miller cycle.
