The Xedos 6 platform was derived from the Mazda 626 sedan which also formed the basis of the Mazda MX-6. Also this platform has Mazda Efini (MS-8), Capella, Japan cousin of 626 GE (1991–1997) and also Ford Probe - II. Most of their parts (engine, transmission, brakes, steering and suspension) are unified.
