Capella is the Japanese domestic market name for Mazda's midsize family car; larger than the Familia/323 but smaller than the Luce/929. The vehicle has also been sold as the Mazda 616, 626, Montrose, and Ford Telstar, and is closely related to the short-lived Mazda Lantis, Cronos, Persona, Autozam Clef, Eunos 500/Xedos 6 and Mazda MX-6/Ford Probe. Production of the Capella lasted from 1970 until it was replaced by the Mazda Atenza in 2002.

Plain 4 cylinder engines ranged from 1490cc to 1586cc and 1769cc. See also this link (http://me.a-spec.ca:6001/Past/Piston/70Capella.html).

The Mazda Cronos and Efini MS-6 had taken the GE platform that the Capella might have used. The Mazda Cronos name was retired and the Capella, 626, and Telstar once again shared a common platform.
