Year to Year Changes
1999 Mazda 626:
Mazda shuffled equipment and models for 1999, dropping the base DX sedan and adding a four-cylinder version of the top-line, leather-trimmed ES. The four-cylinder LX, LX-V6 and ES-V6 continued. Keyless entry now was standard on all models, as were variable-intermittent wipers and a power antenna. A manual driver's-seat height adjuster was newly standard for all but the ES-V6, which had a power driver's seat.
2000 Mazda 626:
Front side airbags joined the option list for 2000, included in an ABS option group, and the four-cylinder engine gained 5 horsepower. All but the four-cylinder LX had all-disc brakes. Antilock braking was optional across the board, including traction control when installed in a V6 sedan. The four-cylinder LX gained 15-inch wheels, while 16-inch alloy wheels replaced 15-inchers on the ES-V6 (and were optional for the LX-V6). All models added rear-seat heater ducts. Heated mirrors now were standard on the ES-V6, optional on others.
2001 Mazda 626:
Mazda's family sedan was essentially unchanged for 2001.
2002 Mazda 626:
There were no significant changes for 2002, the 626's final year before being replaced by the new Mazda 6.
