Introduced for 1988, MX-6 was a 2-door version of the 626. MX-6 was also mechanically similar to the Ford Probe. Standard on the DX and LX was a 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine that made 110 horsepower. A turbocharged version of the 4-cylinder, rated at 145 horsepower, went into the GT coupe. A 5-speed manual shift was standard and a 4-speed automatic optional. Four-wheel steering was installed in a small number of 1990 models. Antilock, all-disc braking was optional on the LX and GT coupes, but not available on the DX edition.
