Mazda Cronos 1998 review
The Mazda Cronos was a mid-size sedan produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda between 1995 and 2002. It was introduced as a replacement for the Mazda 929 and was available in a number of different trim levels, including a sporty turbocharged model.
The Cronos was known for its stylish design and handling abilities. It featured a sleek, aerodynamic body with flowing lines and a spacious interior with comfortable seating for up to five passengers. Under the hood, the Cronos was powered by a range of four- and six-cylinder engines, including a 2.5-liter V6 in the top-of-the-line model.
The Cronos received a number of updates throughout its production run, including a mild refresh in 1998. This update brought a new front grille, revised headlamps, and a redesigned rear bumper. The 1998 Cronos also received a number of mechanical improvements, including a more powerful V6 engine and a more refined suspension setup.
Despite its strong performance and attractive design, the Cronos struggled to compete in a crowded mid-size sedan market. It faced stiff competition from other Japanese automakers, as well as from European and American brands. As a result, the Cronos was eventually discontinued in 2002, with Mazda focusing on other models in its lineup.
Overall, the Mazda Cronos 1998 was a solid choice for drivers looking for a stylish and capable mid-size sedan. While it may not have achieved the same level of success as some of its rivals, it remains a beloved car among Mazda enthusiasts and is remembered as a key part of the brand’s history.
