Mazda5

Lots of people, lots of luggage and lots of fun.

Incorporating the practicality and flexibility you would expect from a people carrier, the Mazda5 has something else - an added dose of sportiness. After all, why should you give up on a little exhilaration just because you've got seven seats inside?

The Mazda5 is designed to be driven; you'll instantly notice the precise and responsive handling. And when it comes to its good looks, there is no compromise. Its sleek and stylish design far outweighs the standard 'box' shape you might come across when looking for your perfect Compact Multi-Activity Vehicle (C-MAV).

It's also a clever car. The Mazda5 designers thought carefully about how the vehicle is used day-to-day and as a result, clever time-saving touches are included throughout. The Mazda5 offers seating for up to seven and offers outstanding luggage-carrying capability and impressive seat flexibility while no other people carrier has twin sliding rear doors that offer such convenience and access. Tight car parks need never be a problem again.

Outstanding luggage-carrying capability is matched by passenger comfort. Even with seven people inside you can still fit in a folded stroller and a couple of overnight cases. And because safety is critical when the family is on board, so the Mazda5 has six airbags as standard which has helped it achieve the maximum 5* Euro NCAP rating*. Which means you can relax and get on with enjoying the drive.

Love choice? With the Mazda5, the choices are plentiful. In total, fourteen separate Mazda5 models are available. Choose from four equipment levels - TS, TS², Sport, Sport Luxury Pack, Sport Nav and Sport Nav Luxury Pack - which provide an increasing level of features across the grades.

Five responsive and powerful engines are offered. You have a choice of diesel or petrol, 1.8 and 2.0 engines, as well as manual and automatic transmission (see the specs and prices for a full rundown). Add eight colours and three seat trims and you can see why the Mazda5 can provide a fantastic opportunity to discover the perfect car for your needs.
