The Mazda RX-4 (called the Luce Rotary in Japan) is an automobile sold in the 1970s. It was a larger car than its rotary-powered contemporaries, the Capella-based RX-2 and Familia-based RX-3. It shared the Luce/929 chassis, replacing the R130 in October 1972, and was produced through October 1977. Its predecessor (the R130) and replacement were not sold in the United States. Mazda marketed the RX-4 as being sporty and luxurious with the RX-4 having the best of both worlds.

  • The Mazda RX-4 (called the Luce Rotary in Japan) is an automobile sold in the 1970s. It was a larger car than its rotary-powered contemporaries, the Capella-based RX-2 and Familia-based RX-3. It shared the Luce/929 chassis, replacing the R130 in October 1972, and was produced through October 1977. Its predecessor (the R130) and replacement were not sold in the United States. Mazda marketed the RX-4 as being sporty and luxurious with the RX-4 having the best of both worlds. This gave Mazda a well needed boost in the popularity of the Wankel engine unique to Mazda. The RX-4 was initially available as a hardtop coupé and sedan, with a station wagon launched in 1973 to replace the Savanna Wagon. Under the hood at first was a 130 hp (97 kW) 12A engine, but this was replaced by the larger 13B in 1974 producing 125 hp (93 kW), for export. This engine was Mazda's new "AP" (for "anti-pollution") version, with much-improved emissions and fuel economy, but somewhat worse cold-starting behavior. In South Africa it was produced until 1979, all years only with the 12A engine. The car used an strut-type independent suspension in front with a solid axle in the rear. Brakes were discs in front and drums in the rear. Curb weight was low at 2,620 lb (1,188 kg) and the wheelbase fairly short at 99 in (2510 mm). The body was freshened in 1976.
  • Der Mazda RX-4 war eine von 1972 bis 1977 von dem japanischen Automobilhersteller Mazda hergestellte Baureihe der Mittelklasse mit Wankelmotor. Mit Ausnahme des Wankelmotors entsprach der RX-4, den es als zweitüriges Hardtop-Coupé, als viertürige Limousine und als fünftürigen Kombi gab, dem Mazda 929 der ersten Generation. In technischer Hinsicht fiel der RX-4, vom Motor abgesehen, konventionell aus (starre Hinterachse, hintere Trommelbremsen). Angetrieben wurde der RX-4 von einem Zweischeiben-Wankelmotor mit einem Kammervolumen von anfangs 1200, später (ab 1975) 1300 cm³ (93 kW/127 PS). 1976 erfuhr der RX-4 ein Facelift mit einer etwas einfacher und glatter gestalteten Frontpartie. In Deutschland wurde der RX-4, anders als sein Pendant 929 mit konventionellem Hubkolbenmotor, nicht angeboten.
