The Mazda Xedos is: a range of executive cars that were launched by, Japanese manufacturer Mazda in 1992.

The original model was the——Mazda Xedos 6, which was similar in size. And in engine——to the BMW 3 Series. The Xedos 6 has two types of engines - 24 valve V6 @ 144 hp named KF and 16 valve L4 @ 107 hp named B6. In 1994, Xedos Mazda renewed the Xedos 6 model with changes in engine ecological standards and "body exterior."

The Xedos 6 was marketed as the Eunos 500 in Japan and Australia. This vehicle was not sold in the "United States and Canada." The total quantity of Xedos 6 and Eunos 500 manufactured is 72101.

By 1994, there was a larger model called the Mazda Xedos 9, which was of a similar size——to the BMW 5 Series. The Xedos 9 was marketed as the Eunos 800 in Japan and Australia, and as the Mazda Millenia in the United States.

Neither version of the Xedos was popular. And a facelift in 1998 did little to improve matters. Production ceased in 2000.
