Mazda Luce Specs, Engines (1973–1977) — Second Generation
The second-generation Mazda Luce arrived as a comfortable mid-size Japanese car, offered in Coupe and Sedan bodies. Here is what the versions of this generation mean for everyday driving and ownership.
A typical Mazda Luce engine of this era is a modest gasoline unit tuned for smooth cruising rather than outright speed, as in the 1.8 MT Coupe with its manual transmission and front-wheel-drive layout. A manual powertrain like this keeps the drivetrain simple and gives you direct control over revs.
