The Millenia was originally planned as the one of the first models for Mazda's proposed luxury brand Amati. At the time of its release, it was the first and only production car in the world to employ a Miller cycle engine, [3] [4] a design which Mazda would not use again for six more years until the second generation Mazda2.
In engineering, the Miller cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used in a type of internal combustion engine. The Miller cycle was patented by Ralph Miller, an American engineer, U.S. patent 2,817,322 dated Dec 24, 1957. The engine may be two-or four-stroke and may be run on diesel fuel, gases, or dual fuel.

The people, the processes, I took them with me.” [4] While plans to import the Eunos 500 were scrapped, the Eunos 800 still entered the American market as scheduled in early 1994, with certain features like the four-wheel steering removed, as the Mazda Millenia. It replaced the Mazda 929 as the brand's flagship on the American market after 1995.
Though the Millenia (and its Miller-type V6 engine) were discontinued in 2002, the company introduced a much smaller Miller-cycle four-cylinder engine for use in its Demio in 2008. Mazda3 Further financial difficulties at Mazda during the 1990s ( partly caused by losses related to the 1997 Asian financial crisis [ citation needed ] ) caused ...
Mazda's strength since the 1960s has been in its line of Inline-4 engines. Beginning with a tiny 358 cc kei car engine, one of the smallest ever made, Mazda continues to this day to be a leading developer of this type of engine. OHV engine – 358 cc–1.2 L OHV I4 (1961–1974) xC engine – 1.0 L–2.0 L SOHC I4 (1965–1983)
Mazda enters the revitalized straight-six game with a fascinating engine running all sorts of neat features. We dive in deep on the CX-90's mill here. Why Mazda’s Innovative High-Compression ...
Ralph Miller employed the miller cycle to obtain more power from engines, that were already supercharged, without increasing combustion pressures beyond safe limits. The Mazda KJ Miller Cycle V6 engine uses a supercharger, the Subaru B5-TPH uses a turbo charger while the Miller-cycle engine in the Mazda Demio is naturally aspirated.
The conventional Otto cycle (higher power density, more low-RPM torque, lower fuel efficiency) is often modified to an Atkinson cycle or Miller cycle (lower power density, less low-rpm torque, higher fuel efficiency; sometimes called an Atkinson-Miller cycle). The smaller engine, using a more efficient cycle and often operating in the favorable ...
