The Mazda5 is the first vehicle of its kind in North America that blends cargo and people carrying ability with compact size for superior manoeuvrability.
The Mazda5 has a fresh, well-balanced look that expresses its Zoom-Zoom personality and appeals to users as comfortably familiar but never boring.
Mazda5’s large dual sliding rear doors open wide for easy access to and from second- and third-row seats, even when space around the vehicle is limited. The dual sliding doors and liftgate are easy to operate for users of all sizes, and seats fold easily for one-handed operation.
The Mazda5’s extensive seat adjustability and seat configurations allow arrangement of the cabin space for diverse passenger and cargo-carrying needs. Flexibly usable centre space and intelligently designed storage spaces, including karakuri storage box on GT models, provide exceptional convenience.
A wide array of standard convenience features makes journeys comfortable for all Mazda5 occupants.
Optimal placement of the driver’s seat, steering wheel, shift lever and pedals allows safe, comfortable driving regardless of the driver’s stature.
The Mazda5’s interior design creates a natural-feeling distance between the driver and the instrument panel, with the shift lever, audio controls and climate controls placed where the driver can easily see and reach them.
The Mazda5 offers features not commonly associated with vehicles in its price class, including rain-sensing wipers and fully automatic headlamps.
Meticulous attention to detail in the Mazda5’s design allows driver and passengers to see quality craftsmanship from the moment they open the doors.
The Mazda5 suspension is tuned to deliver an enjoyable ride for all passengers, regardless of seating/cargo configuration. The highly rigid body contributes to responsive Zoom-Zoom handling and ride comfort, and to the suppression of road noise and vibration.
Relatively small external dimensions yield superior manoeuvrability and visibility and provide easy entry and exit from the vehicle, while still providing the interior space required to transport six adults in comfort.
The Mazda5’s 2.3-litre engine offers spirited performance while delivering good fuel economy.
The Mazda5 is easy to get in and out of, even from the third row seats. Low, wide steps and one-touch walk-in mechanism enhance ease of movement. The cabin was designed to facilitate movement throughout the rear of the vehicle, even for an adult carrying luggage or a small child.
State-of-the-art safety equipment, both active and passive, provides vehicle control in emergency manouevres and comprehensive occupant protection. Active safety features include the responsive EHPAS steering system and anti-lock brakes with EBFD and brake assist. Up to six available air bags, Triple-H architecture and the crushable pedal design are examples of the Mazda5’s passive safety features.
