Mazda Protege Parts

Developed from the Familia/323 lineage, the Mazda Protege underwent several changes across its generations. Each iteration came with better engine power, fuel system, and transmission specifications. While it debuted with modest inline four-cylinder engines, the engine lineup for the Mazda Protege improved over time to offer more powerful and efficient options. For example, models in the early 90s offered a 1.8L SOHC engine, which was upgraded to a more robust 1.8L DOHC engine in the LX trim that now put out 125 hp. By the late 90s and early 2000s, there was a greater focus on performance and comfort, with the introduction of a 2.0L engine for ES models and an option for LX models (now called "2.0LX") as well. These engines came with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. These changes allowed for both efficiency and drivability improvements. The Mazda Protege also featured enhancements to its fuel system and other technical parameters to make it more appealing in the compact car market. In 2003, we saw another level of improvement when they introduced the Mazdaspeed Protege. This variant boasted a turbocharged 170hp engine alongside comprehensive Racing Beat suspension and big braking upgrades, thus creating a model that was appealing to any enthusiast looking for spirited driving dynamics in a compact package. Even though all these improvements throughout all these years, though, one thing remained constant. The Mazda Protege stayed as versatile as ever by making sure to balance performance with practicality.
