Mazda Millenia Performance Overview

Mazda’s Millenia occupied the brand’s near-luxury performance niche from 1995 to 2002, and across 5 verified tests spanning 1995 to 2000 it showed a narrow, consistent performance band. The single-generation sedan was defined by gasoline power only, centered on the supercharged 2.3-liter Miller-cycle V6 known by the KJ-ZEM code, rated at 210 hp in tested S models. Its benchmark arrived immediately: the 1995 S Sedan ran from 0-60 mph in 7.6 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 15.8 seconds at 90 mph, establishing both the quickest 0-60 and quickest quarter-mile recorded for the model.

Later tests show the Millenia holding close to that original pace rather than moving through distinct performance phases. A 1999 S Sedan posted 7.9 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2001 S Premium managed 8.1 seconds and 16.4 seconds in the quarter-mile. By the end of the run, the 2000 Millennium Edition Sedan marked the slow end of the sample at 8.5 seconds to 60 mph. That leaves the Millenia’s present record defined by a single, stable era: one generation, one supercharged gasoline performance setup, and a tested 0-60 range from 7.6 to 8.5 seconds.

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mazda Millenia trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
