The Mazda Luce (pronounced lu-che) is an executive car that was produced by Mazda in Japan from 1969 until 1991. It was widely exported as the Mazda 929 from 1973 to 1991. The Luce was replaced by the Sentia in 1991 which was also exported under the 929 name. The name "Luce" was taken from the Italian word for "light".
