The Mazda Millenia was originally planned as the smaller of two luxury cars for Mazda's luxury brand, Amati. As Mazda's dwindling finances no longer permitted the launch of the Amati brand, the Millenia was launched in the autumn of 1993 in Europe (as the Xedos9) and Japan (as the Eunos 800) under the Mazda brand.

Having been developed for a separate audience from typical Mazda customers, the Millenia boasted a myriad of finer details. It was engineered to far greater levels of perceived quality than existing Mazda cars, such as interior plastic, panel gap and thicker paint coating. The Millenia was assembled along the Xedos6 in a new production line presumably set up for Amati cars.


The Millenia does not have a predecessor or replacement in the Mazda product line. It appears to have received a brand-new platform, although suspension at both ends resembled that of the 1991 Mazda Sentia. It is the only production car in the world to employ a Miller cycle engine. Yaw-sensitive 4-wheel steering was available as an option in Japan; Mazda claimed that with this feature, the Millenia was capable of passing the elk test at speeds comparable to the BMW 850i, surpassing the Z32 Nissan 300ZX. In engineering, the Miller cycle is a combustion process used in a type of four-stroke internal combustion engine. ... The Moose test, also known as the Elk test or Älgtest in Swedish, has been used in Sweden for decades to test how a certain vehicle acts when avoiding a sudden danger, such as an elk. ...


In 1997 the Japanese Eunos 800 was also renamed the Millenia as Mazda reorganized its Eunos dealership network. This name change was accompanied by a significant facelift that included some cost-saving measures. For instance, the hood was downgraded from aluminum to steel. The hood (US) or bonnet (UK) is the hinged cover over the engine of motor vehicles. ...


Towards the end of its lifespan, the Miller Cycle engine was dropped from the lineup, but the Millenia did see ten years of production, which fans consider fitting as "a decade-long benchmark" was the catchphrase used to describe the car at its Japanese launch.
