Econosport coupes were typically configured as front-wheel drive models that shared mechanical bits with their sedan counterparts.
The design for the future Mazda econosport coupe was frozen in the late 80s and AZ-3 would be the official name for the car in its Japanese home market--- this car would also be marketed as the Eunos Presso/30x.
The coupe would utilize a platform known as the EC platform-which shared much with the BG platform of the contemporary 323. So naturally, the upcoming coupe would be front-wheel drive.
The MX-3 would be small in size, but not so small in engineering. The MX-3 would sport a tiny V6 engine, which would be one of the industry’s smallest.
The small displacement V6 was developed to comply with Japanese government regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement.
