The Mazda Grand Familia is a series of compact cars produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda, primarily for export markets, from 1971 to 1978. While the name "Familia" generally referred to Mazda's range of small family cars, the "Grand Familia" designation was typically applied to a distinct model line that was larger and often sportier than the standard Familia. This model shared its platform with the Japanese market Mazda Savanna, which was also known globally as the Mazda RX-3 when equipped with a rotary engine.
In its most common usage, the Grand Familia served as the piston-engined variant of the S102A and S124A chassis, offering conventional inline-four engines (such as the 1.3L 1300, 1.5L 1500, and 1.6L 1600 models) in contrast to the Wankel rotary engines of the RX-3. This strategy allowed Mazda to market the same appealing body style with different powertrain options to cater to various market demands and regulatory environments. The Grand Familia name was also occasionally used as an export designation for the earlier Mazda Familia Presto. Available body styles included two-door coupés, four-door sedans, and five-door station wagons. These vehicles were sold in various international markets, including Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and parts of Latin America, providing a range of reliable and economical compact cars.
