Mazda Motor Corporation is one of the most trusted names in the automobile industry. Their cars and motor parts are known for their great performance. Mazda Engines are highly acclaimed in the international market for their standardized production. The company makes several engines which differ in their design and performance. But they all have analogous auto parts. The types of engines made by Mazda are discussed in the following section.

  • Mazda Wankel Engine- The most prominent type of engine manufactured by the company, the Wankel engine belongs to the category of rotary combustion engines. These were developed in the 1960s and are still being used based on their initial design. The company however, has made some significant variations over the years. This engine made Mazda a distinguished name in the car racing world, because of their smaller construction but powerful output. Wankel engines are categorized on the basis of their rotor thickness, radius size and offsets. The Mazda Engines of Wankel family include:
  • 10A - 1.0 L (1967–1973)
  • 10B - 1.0 L (1968–1972)
  • 13A - 1.3 L (1970–1972)

  • Renesis - 1.3 L (2004–)
  • Piston Engines- The piston engines, also known as reciprocating engines are being manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation since their earliest years. In the early days, they made overhead cams, aluminum blocks and a unique box that contained both the engine and transmission in one unit. There are certain sub-categories under the Piston engines. These are:
  • V-Twin - These were mostly used for motorcycles and three-wheeled vehicles.
  • Straight-4 - The engines made under this category are being produced since 1960s and continuing till date.
  • V6- Mazda Motor Corporation manufactured three sets of V6 engines. The most popular one has been Ford Duratec V6 design.

Years of experience in the industry and the consistent quality that this Japanese manufacturer offers, have positioned Mazda Motor Corp as a top choice for engines. Their engines are known more as Mazda Engines than by their generic name. Whenever you are going to acquire a Mazda Engine, make sure that you are approaching a reputed Auto Parts Dealer who offers engines in a good condition.
