On sale there are cars equipped with a four-cylinder diesel engine. In the 1990s, the purchase of engines from Isuzu began, with the subsequent installation of them on some models of Mazda Titan.

On some three-ton machines, seven-seater double cabins were mounted. The carrying capacity was reduced to 2.75 tons.

Mazda Titan was produced for a long time - 11 years. But the changes, of course, were carried out: new engines were introduced, and cosmetic transformations were made.

In mid-2004, Isuzu Motors and Mazda Motorconcluded an agreement in which Isuzu undertakes to supply Mazda with about six thousand Elf trucks with a small tonnage throughout the year. They are sold under the name Titan. Most likely, Mazda decided not to develop engines because of the unprofitable nature of such investments. Frequent changes in environmental requirements have made this type of activity unprofitable. Most likely, Mazda decided to concentrate its efforts on the production of cars. To this conclusion came Nissan and Toyota. If this turns out to be true, we will not see the fifth generation. Although the car Mazda Titan reviews describe only the positive side. In addition, it is in demand in the market.
