In 1996, the Familia Wagon compact wagon was changed to the OEM version of the Nissan Wingroad, received the same year as a result of the integration of the Sunny California and Nissan AD Wagon models. Although it retained the same type of platform (Y10), the new station wagon became a little longer in length, offering more space inside and an increased luggage compartment. Familia Wagon is still only available for the domestic market (right-hand drive) and in parallel with the sedan and hatchback of the original Mazda Familia (BH) family, continuing to replace the five-door version of the 6th generation Familia station wagon (type BF) that existed in the Mazda lineup from 1989 to 1994. Familia Wagon 1996-1999 has now received two gasoline engines. The power of the 1.5-liter increased from 94 to 105 hp, the new 1.8-liter unit produces 125 “forces”. The diesel engine remained unchanged - 2.0 liters (76 hp).
The equipment of the Mazda Familia Wagon 1996-1999 has improved significantly, and the list of trim levels now offers four types. The XE Extra, XE and XG trim levels remain the same (although their composition has been revised), but a new version of the XG Touring has been added, which is offered only for models with a 1.8-liter engine. The main equipment remains XE, which includes a rear wiper, power steering and vertical adjustment, power windows, radio and air conditioning. For a fee, foglights and a rear spoiler, central locking were offered. As usual, the more affordable version of XE Extra (now it is also offered with a 1.5 liter gas engine) is deprived of electric mirrors, and foglights and a “broom” were not offered even for a surcharge. In the XG configuration, the rails were already available in the database, in addition, in this configuration the car is equipped with stabilizers in the suspension (front and rear), alloy wheels and 175 / 65R14 tires, and a sunroof was offered for an extra charge. The full-featured version of XG Touring will add low-profile 185 / 60R14 tires, UV protection glazing, a CD player and other options to all of the above. All engines installed on the Mazda Familia Wagon 1996-1999 are in-line Fours. Gasoline units 16-valve, type DOHC. The displacement is 1.8 liters (SR18, 125 hp, 135 Nm) and 1.5 liters (GA15, 105 hp, 157 Nm). The CD20 diesel engine (SOHC) has a capacity of 2.0 L (76 hp, 132 Nm). You could choose a 4-speed automatic gearbox or a 5-speed manual, front-wheel or 4WD all-wheel drive (for gasoline engines). The total number of variations in the engine and transmission reached eight. In this generation, the car is still distinguished by moderate fuel consumption. Gasoline modifications consumed 5.6 - 9.4 liters of fuel in the combined cycle, and the fuel consumption of diesel cars was even less - 3.3 - 4.2 liters. The volume of the fuel tank is 50 liters.
The front of the car has an independent suspension with McPherson struts, two options at the back: either a semi-independent beam for front-wheel drive cars, or a dependent suspension (bridge) for all-wheel drive. Ahead of the Mazda Familia station wagon installed disc brakes, and rear - drum brakes. All steering options include power steering. The dimensions of the station wagon changed slightly compared to the previous version: the length increased by about 120 mm (up to 4295 mm), the width remained the same, and the height was from 1475 to 1515 mm. Interior dimensions - 1705 x 1390 x 1205 mm. The turning radius is 4.5-5.2 m. Ground clearance is 14-15 cm. Mazda Familia Wagon is designed for five people and has a roomy trunk for transporting goods.
From security systems, the standard equipment of the Mazda Familia Y10 1996-1999 station wagon includes three-point belts (except for the central back seat), door stiffeners, child restraint mountings, a driver airbag and an additional brake light, and for an extra charge - an anti-lock brake system. For the wagon Mazda Familia 1996-1999, the same advantages and disadvantages are characteristic as for the Nissan donor model. The car offers a sufficient variety of trim levels and modifications, has a roomy trunk and good load capacity. The engines of the model are simple and reliable, as well as gearboxes. Cons - poor body corrosion protection and stiffer suspension. In this body type, the Mazda Familia station wagon was discontinued in May 1999 due to the transition to OEM production of the new Familia Van / Business Wagon model based on the new generation Nissan AD (Y11 series).

The eighth generation Familia, which was produced in sedan and three-door hatchback bodies, became the owner of a very convenient and comfortable interior compared to its predecessors. In a word, a high level of performance is felt in the car. At the same time, the original version of the hatchback, called the Neo, was also produced for the domestic market - this car is easily recognizable by the characteristic curved line of the side windows and its striking design, which distinguishes itself from the Mazda Lantis sports coupe. The body design of Familia Neo is of great height, with the help of which designers tried to increase the interior space of the cabin to meet the requirements of a pro-American consumer. However, despite such an exterior decision, which was somewhat ahead of its time, Neo was categorically rejected by the main target audience - lovers of compact cars that preferred the usual Familia sedan and hatchback. Complete sets of this generation of the sedan were offered starting with the basic version of the ES, an interesting very low price compared to competitors. And with LS equipment and above, air conditioning, a power steering and a wide list of other equipment (much like an option) were already offered: alloy wheels, electric sunroof, rear spoiler, fog lights, power windows and central locking, folding mirrors, additional light shades, bottle holders, pockets doors and additional storage areas for small items, parking sensors, remote control key, climate control. The audio system in its simplest form is a radio or cassette player, and in more expensive versions an optional two-single AM / FM / CD player or even a TV tuner with an LCD screen and a remote control. In the top-end version of Interplay X, the car was equipped with the most powerful motor, 195 / 55R15 wheels, elements of a sports body kit. In 1996, facelift was carried out with minor changes in the exterior and interior. Mazda Familia is associated with such important concepts as economy and environmental friendliness. The model was equipped with various types of engines, but at first only 1.5 and 1.8 liter engines in various modifications with power from 97 to 135 hp were offered from gasoline. Only later, in 1996, in the wake of updating the model, the 1.3-liter unit with 85 hp returned to the range of engines. (Type C and Type S modifications) and a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 115 liters was added. with. The sedan was also offered with a 1.7-liter diesel engine rated at 88 hp.
The car retains the same type of independent suspension design on suspension struts with coil springs. Ventilated front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, but for versions with a 1.8-liter engine - and rear disc brakes. An all-wheel drive version of this model was also produced, though only a sedan and only in versions with a 1.6-liter engine or 1.7 diesel. The wheelbase of the car pretty well increased - from 2450 mm to 2605 mm, which contributed to a better organization of the interior space.
Until 1996, the basic list of sedan safety equipment was almost identical to that offered by the previous generation, but front seat belts with pretensioners were installed in expensive trim levels, and front airbags and an anti-lock brake system were offered as an option. After updating the model, part of this list was included in the standard equipment of all versions: driver’s pillow, front belts with pretensioners. In general, the level of car safety has increased - the car has successfully passed crash tests according to various standards. The innovative design of the Neo hatchback, among other things, contributed to better visibility, and more advanced aerodynamics contributed to the cleanliness of the windows and side mirrors. The eighth generation in terms of the variety of modifications looks a little more modest than the previous one, largely due to objective difficulties affecting all Japanese automakers in the 90s. However, despite this, it should be noted a progressive approach and attention to the interior space, thanks to which Familia stands just above its "classmates", especially in terms of the amount of space in the back. Given the affordable price, simple and fairly reliable chassis, a good set of positive qualities was obtained, which at one time contributed to the popularity of the model among the used right-hand drive cars imported into Russia in the zero years.
