HISTORY OF MAZDA RX-4The Mazda RX-4 (called the Luce Rotary in Japan) was an
automobile sold in the 1970s. It was a larger car than its
rotary-powered contemporaries, the
Capella-based
RX-2 and
Familia-based
RX-3. It shared the
Luce/929 chassis, replacing the
R130 in October 1972, and was produced through October 1977. Its predecessor (the R130) and replacement (the rotary
Luce Legato) were not sold in the United States. Mazda marketed the RX-4 as being sporty and luxurious with the RX-4 having the best of both worlds. This gave Mazda a well needed boost in the popularity of the Wankel engine unique to Mazda.
The RX-4 was initially available as a
hardtop coupe and
sedan, with a
station wagon launched in 1973 to replace the
Savanna Wagon. Under the hood at first was a 130 hp (97 kW)
12A engine, but this was replaced by the larger
13B in 1974 producing 125 hp (93 kW), for export. This engine was Mazda's new "AP" (for "anti-pollution") version, with much-improved emissions and fuel economy, but somewhat worse cold-starting behavior.
In South Africa it was produced until 1979, all years only with the 12A engine.
The car used an
strut-type independent suspension in front with a
solid axle in the rear. Brakes were discs in front and drums in the rear. Curb weight was low at 2,620 lb (1,188 kg) and the wheelbase fairly short at 99 in (2510 mm).
The body was freshened in 1976.
