Mazda Luce Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1977–1981) — Third Generation
The third-generation Mazda Luce is a rear-wheel-drive sedan built for comfortable everyday travel. Its range spans small economical petrol units through to a diesel, with both manual and automatic driving styles covered.
Mazda Luce engine choices reward different priorities. The 1.3 MT keeps running costs low with a light manual, while the 2.2 MT diesel favours relaxed torque for longer trips. The 1.8 AT suits city driving, and every powertrain here sends drive rearward.
