This list of Mazda model codes describes following model codes which have been used by Mazda since the 1980s.

Naming scheme

[edit]

The company's model codes form the fourth and fifth characters of the VIN on post-1981 vehicles. The first character is a letter representing the model family, while the second is a sequential letter for subsequent models. For example, the Mazda N family used by the Mazda Miata started at NA and was updated in 1998 to NB and in 2006 to NC. The 2016 and newer MX-5s are designated ND.

Mazda generally starts car model codes at the letter "A", but van and truck variants often get different names, usually starting at "V".

Note: The US-built Mazda6 and Tribute do not use the Mazda model code in the VIN; in its place is an AutoAlliance code. Instead of the model code letter, position four in the VIN specifies the vehicle's safety systems, and position five specifies the marque, due to being built in a multi-brand facility.

Old VINs

[edit]

Prior to 1981, Mazda used a different VIN format and model code naming scheme. The model families were given two characters, and the model a third, based on their names.

The following pre-1981 model groups are known:

The next digit of the VIN specified the engine:

G codes (for mid-size front-wheel drive cars)
Code Vehicles Years Description
GC Mazda Capella / Mazda 626 / Ford Telstar[3] 1982–1987 GC used Mazda's first front-wheel drive mid-size car platform. Available body styles were the two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and five-door hatchback. The Ford Telstar hatchback version was called the TX5: there was no Telstar version of the coupe. Production was in Japan, with local assembly in Australia (Telstar only), New Zealand, Taiwan and South Africa, where the model continued in production until 1993.
GD Mazda Capella / Mazda 626 / Mazda MX-6 / Ford Telstar[1] (sedan, liftback, coupé) 1987–1991 The updated GD was introduced in 1987 in Japan and later elsewhere. It spawned a station wagon variant, the GV. Production in the United States started at the AutoAlliance International plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. Basis for the Ford Probe.
GV Mazda Capella / Mazda 626 / Ford Telstar[1] (station wagon) 1988–1996 The station wagon and van versions use a modified version of the GD's platform.
GE Mazda 626 / Mazda Cronos / Mazda MX-6 / ɛ̃fini MS-6 / Autozam Clef / Ford Telstar[1] 1991–1997 The Japanese market Mazda Capella never used the GE's platform. Rather, a new model (the Mazda Cronos) was introduced alongside the Capella, while the Capella continued on an updated version of the GC's platform until 1993 and was then moved to a new platform for the CG from 1994 through 1997. Basis for Ford Probe, Kia Credos and Kia Carnival. As Ford and Mazda shared engineering technologies, the GE's platform is related to the Ford CDW27/CD162/CD132, used for the Ford Mondeo and Jaguar X-Type.
GF Mazda Capella / Mazda 626 / Ford Telstar[1] (sedan, liftback) 1997–2002 The Capella and 626 were again reunited as the GF in 1997. An updated station wagon version, the GW, was finally introduced as well. See Ford CD2 platform.

List of Mazda model codes

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The list of Mazda model codes comprises the internal alphanumeric designations, commonly known as codes, used by Motor Corporation to identify specific platforms, generations, and variants across its automotive lineup. These codes serve critical functions in engineering development, production processes, and aftermarket servicing, enabling precise tracking of model specifications, parts compatibility, and historical iterations. Typically structured as one or more letters followed by optional digits or additional letters, they provide a standardized system for referencing 's diverse range of sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, and sports cars. This system evolved from earlier numeric designations before the 1980s. Mazda's chassis code convention assigns initial letters to denote the core model line—for example, 'B' for the series or 'G' for the —while subsequent characters indicate the generational progression or specific subtype. Examples include the first-generation (2003–2009) designated as BK, the second-generation (2008–2013) as BL, the third-generation (2013–2019) as BM/BN, and the fourth-generation (2019–present) as BP; similarly, the features codes like GG for its first generation (2002–2008) and GJ for the third (2012–present). Additional characters, such as suffixes for engine or transmission variants, may extend the code for greater detail. This nomenclature has evolved alongside Mazda's vehicle architecture, including shared platforms with partners like Ford during the early 2000s. The compilation of these codes highlights Mazda's engineering heritage, encompassing everything from compact urban vehicles like the Demio (coded with 'D') to crossovers such as the CX-5 (KF for ). Notable for their role in enthusiast communities and professional maintenance, the codes facilitate accurate restorations, modifications, and historical research, underscoring Mazda's commitment to and incremental innovation in its global model portfolio.

Background and Naming Scheme

Historical Context and Pre-1980s VIN System

Mazda's early vehicle identification system, prior to 1981, employed a non-standardized format that differed significantly from the later global norms, reflecting the evolving automotive industry practices of the era. These pre-1981 identifiers, often referred to as chassis numbers or serial numbers rather than full VINs, typically ranged from 11 to 17 characters in length and were not uniformly structured across manufacturers. For Mazda, the format generally began with a model or chassis code—usually 3 to 5 alphanumeric characters denoting the model family, engine type, body style, and sometimes market specifications—followed by a sequential serial number to uniquely identify each vehicle. This system allowed Mazda to categorize its diverse lineup, including piston-engine and rotary-powered models, but lacked the comprehensive encoding for safety features, plant location, and check digits found in later standards. A prominent example of this format appears in Mazda's rotary lineup, such as the RX-3 (produced 1971–1978), where the chassis code S124A designated U.S.-market coupes and sedans equipped with the 12A twin-rotor engine, while S102A identified non-U.S. versions with the smaller 10A engine. Similarly, the Mazda 808 (1972–1977), a piston-engine sibling to the RX-3 platform, utilized codes like STC for certain variants, highlighting how prefixes such as "S" often signified the Savanna family of models. These codes were shorter and more variable than modern ones, typically without sequential generation suffixes (e.g., no "A," "B" lettering for facelifts or redesigns), emphasizing basic model and powertrain distinctions over exhaustive generational tracking. The shift away from this system occurred in 1981, when adopted the 17-character (VIN) standard mandated by international regulations, including those from the (). This transition was driven by the need for global to improve tracking, recalls, and prevention, integrating model codes into a fixed structure with positions for manufacturer ID, attributes, and a unique serial sequence. Pre-1981 codes, by contrast, were less rigid and regionally adapted, paving the way for the more systematic alphanumeric schemes that evolved in the .

Modern Naming Conventions (1980s Onward)

In the , Mazda transitioned to a standardized alphanumeric model code system to align with the global adoption of the 17-character (VIN) format under ISO 3779, which the company implemented starting in for compliance with international standards. This shift replaced earlier, less uniform naming schemes and allowed for more systematic identification of vehicles in documentation, parts catalogs, and regulatory contexts. The system emphasizes internal codes that denote model lineages while facilitating generational tracking and variant differentiation. At its core, the conventions assign a primary letter to represent the model family, followed by additional letters to indicate generations and specific variants. For instance, the "B" prefix designates the enduring Familia/323/ family, with subsequent letters marking progressions such as BD for the early fourth generation and BG for the late sixth generation. Likewise, the MX-5 roadster employs the "N" prefix, progressing sequentially through NA for its debut generation (1989–1997), NB (1998–2005), NC (2006–2015), and ND (2016 onward). These sequential increments typically advance alphabetically per major update, though not always strictly if a redesign warrants a new base letter. Variant indicators incorporate further letters or suffixes to specify body styles, powertrains, or features, such as "GW" for wagon configurations of the /626 series or "BY" for hybrid variants of the Axela/. These codes are primarily internal to but integrate into the VIN's Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4–8), where positions 5–7 often encode the and generation details alongside and specifics. This placement enables quick reference for service and identification without standalone code lists. The system evolved significantly in the 1990s with the proliferation of badge-engineered vehicles under sub-brands like Eunos and Autozam, which reused core Mazda codes for shared platforms while adding unique identifiers for market-specific trims. By the , expansion into SUVs prompted new prefixes like "K" for models such as the CX-5 (KE series) and "D" for compact crossovers such as the CX-3 (DK series). More recently, as of 2025, has introduced prefixes like "V" for the CX-50 (VA series, 2022–present) and expanded the "K" series for premium crossovers including the CX-60 (KH, 2022–present), CX-70 (KJ, 2024–present), and CX-90 (KK, 2023–present). Notably, generational lettering does not always follow strict sequence during platform transitions, as seen in the Mazda6's shift from the predecessor GF (Capella wagon) to GG in 2002, prioritizing alignment with broader engineering changes over alphabetical continuity.

Organization of Model Codes

Code Prefixes and Family Groupings

Mazda's internal model codes employ letter prefixes to denote families, often reflecting shared platforms, lineages, or market segments, which allows for consistent tracking of evolutionary developments within each group. These prefixes form the basis of over 26 distinct families, each typically followed by alphanumeric suffixes indicating , body style, or variants. While not always tied strictly to type, the emphasizes historical continuity, enabling models to evolve while retaining core design philosophies across multiple iterations. The "A" prefix designates kei cars, primarily lightweight urban vehicles compliant with Japanese microcar regulations, as seen in the Autozam Carol series (e.g., AA5PA and AA6PA models from 1989–1998). Similarly, "B" and "D" prefixes cover subcompact front-wheel-drive cars, originating with the Familia (e.g., BD series, 1980–1986) and continuing through successors like the Demio/ (e.g., D series, 1996–present). For midsize vehicles, the "G" and "C" prefixes group sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, starting with the (e.g., GC/GD series, 1982–1987) and extending to the 626 and (e.g., GE/GF/GG/GJ series, 1991–2021), including rebadged variants like the under the G family. In the SUV and crossover segment, the "K" prefix unifies modern models such as the CX-5 (e.g., , 2012–present) and CX-8 (KG series, 2018–present), while "T" applies to luxury and large SUVs like the Millenia (TA series, 1993–2002) and CX-9 (TB series, 2007–2023). Sports cars and roadsters fall under the "N" prefix, exemplified by the MX-5 Miata (NA/NB/NC/ND series, 1989–present), and commercial vans and trucks use "S," as in the Bongo/E-Series (SE series, 1986–1999). The "J" prefix was reserved for full-size rear-wheel-drive luxury coupes, notably the Cosmo (JC series, 1990–1996), which was discontinued after production ended in 1996. Recent expansions include the "V" prefix for compact crossovers like the CX-50 (VA series, 2022–present) and further "K" subfamily codes such as KJ for the CX-70 (2024–present) and KL for the CX-80 (2024–present), marking developments for North American- and global-focused models. Family groupings demonstrate remarkable persistence, with prefixes maintained across generations to signify platform continuity; for instance, the "G" lineage traces from the 1982 Capella through to the 2021 , adapting to front-wheel-drive architectures while preserving midsize sedan heritage. Exceptions occur with rebadged or collaborative models, such as Ford-badged versions sharing Mazda's G prefix without altering the core family structure. This lineage-based approach, rather than rigid type classification, permits flexibility, as evidenced by the "E" prefix spanning sports coupes like the MX-3 (EC series, 1991–1998) and SUVs like the CX-7 (ER series, 2006–2012). Discontinued families, like "J" for the Cosmo, highlight shifts away from rotary-engine luxury vehicles post-1996, while active ones continue to evolve under modern conventions.

Usage in VINs and Documentation

Mazda's model codes are integrated into the (VIN) for vehicles produced after 1981, adhering to the standardized 17-character format established by the (ISO 3779). Positions 1 through 3 of the VIN represent the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), where "JM" designates vehicles manufactured by in , followed by a third character indicating vehicle type or attributes, such as "0" for passenger cars or "Z" for multipurpose vehicles. Positions 4 through 8 form the core of the Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS), embedding the model code—typically a three- to five-letter alphanumeric sequence that specifies the model line, body style, engine type, and configuration—along with other attributes like restraint systems; for instance, the 2019 and later often uses a model code starting with "BP" in these positions. Position 9 is the for validation, position 10 indicates the (e.g., "K" for 2019), position 11 denotes the assembly plant, and positions 12 through 17 comprise the unique . These model codes embedded in VINs serve critical practical purposes in vehicle documentation and maintenance. In owner's manuals and service records, the VIN's model code segment allows for precise identification of vehicle specifications, facilitating accurate claims and service scheduling. Parts catalogs, such as Mazda's Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) system, utilize the full VIN—including the model code—to retrieve exact replacement components, ensuring compatibility for engines, transmissions, and body panels tailored to specific variants. Additionally, regulatory bodies and manufacturers reference VIN model codes for safety recalls, enabling targeted notifications; for example, the (NHTSA) decodes VINs to verify affected models in recall campaigns. Decoding tools, including Mazda's dealer-accessible VIN lookup systems and public resources like the NHTSA VIN decoder, interpret these codes to provide users with details on trim levels, production dates, and equipment without needing physical inspection. Model codes in VINs exhibit slight variations for export markets to accommodate regional specifications, such as differing emissions standards or trim packages; for example, (JDM) vehicles like the Axela ( equivalent) may use codes optimized for local regulations, while U.S.-spec versions adjust suffixes for federal compliance, though the core prefix remains consistent across global production. Hybrid and electric variants incorporate specific suffixes to denote differences, as seen in the "BY" code for the Axela Hybrid models from 2013 to 2018, which integrates the i-ELOOP mild-hybrid system. As of 2025, updates to the coding scheme include designations for electric vehicle (PHEV) options, such as the KK prefix for the CX-90, including its PHEV variant with inline-six hybrid architecture, distinguishing options within the model. Not all Mazda model codes are publicly documented or visible in consumer-facing VINs, with certain internal variants reserved for engineering and collaborative projects; for instance, "NF" variants were used internally for the collaboration (2016–2020), a platform-shared roadster with the , where codes like "NFM" denoted specific engineering adaptations not detailed in standard VIN decoders. These internal codes support proprietary development processes, such as testing and supplier coordination, but are typically accessible only through Mazda's engineering databases or authorized service networks.

List of Model Codes by Vehicle Type

Subcompact and Compact Cars

Mazda's subcompact and compact cars utilize specific model codes that reflect their evolution from kei vehicles and entry-level sedans to modern efficient hatchbacks and sedans, primarily under the , DA/DB, , and B series prefixes. These codes designate generations focused on affordability, fuel efficiency, and urban mobility, with many shared platforms across Mazda's lineup and partners like Ford and . The B-series, in particular, represents a cornerstone of Mazda's compact segment, spanning multiple generations of the Familia/323 family since the early 1980s. The , a targeted at the Japanese market, employed the AA code for its initial generation from 1989 to 1995 and transitioned to AC for the facelifted from 1995 to 1998; both shared underpinnings with the for cost-effective production.

Midsize Sedans, Hatchbacks, and Wagons

Mazda's midsize sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons primarily utilize the G-series and select C-series model codes, representing a lineage that began with the transition to front-wheel-drive platforms in the early and continues through the current /Atenza. These vehicles, including the , 626, Lantis, Xedos 6, and their wagon variants, emphasize family-oriented design with options for sedan, , and estate bodies, evolving from shared Ford platforms in the to Mazda's proprietary architecture in later generations. The G-series codes denote the core midsize platform, with suffixes indicating body styles such as sedans (G), hatchbacks/liftbacks (often overlapping with C), and wagons (V or W). The G-series evolution started with the GC code for the third-generation Capella/626 (1982–1987), Mazda's first front-wheel-drive midsize car, offered as a sedan, coupe, and hatchback with engines ranging from 1.6L to 2.0L. This was followed by the GD (1987–1991) for the fourth-generation 626/Capella sedan and liftback, introducing turbo options and all-wheel-drive variants, while the GV code specifically designated the wagon/estate version from 1988 to 1996. The fifth generation shifted to GE/GF (1992–1997) for sedans and liftbacks, with GW for wagons, featuring V6 engines and refined aerodynamics; a facelift extended to 1997 under the same codes. Subsequent generations continued the G-series progression with GG/GY (2002–2007) for the first-generation /Atenza sedan, hatchback, and wagon, marking the end of the 626 nameplate and integrating shared components with Ford's CD3 platform. The second generation used GH/GW (2007–2013) for sedans, liftbacks, and wagons, incorporating direct-injection engines and sporty variants. The third generation, under GJ/GL (2013–2024), represents the current with sedan and wagon bodies (hatchback discontinued after 2018), featuring lightweight Skyactiv-G and Skyactiv-D powertrains; no new codes have been introduced post-2024 as of November 2025. Wagon specifics include the GV/GW estates for 1988–2002, providing expanded cargo space on the GD/GF platforms. C-series codes appear in overlapping hatchback and liftback configurations, notably CA for the Xedos 6 (1992–1999), a premium sedan with V6 options aimed at the luxury segment, and CB for the Lantis/323F (1993–1998), a sporty liftback sharing components with the Capella. The CG code was used briefly for the short-run Telstar II (1994–1996), a sedan variant closely related to the GE Capella. These C codes highlight Mazda's experimentation with upscale and performance-oriented midsize hatches during the 1990s. CP/CR/CC/CW codes, associated with the Premacy/Mazda5 (1999–2018), primarily denote compact MPV bodies but include limited wagon-like configurations without sliding doors in select markets; however, non-MPV sedan or pure wagon variants under these codes are rare and not widely documented. The following table summarizes key midsize sedan, hatchback, and wagon model codes, models, and production years:
