The Mazda5 is the only MAV in the C-segment with two sliding rear doors, and is introducing optional new power sliding rear doorsthat open and close in less than five seconds and stop automatically if obstructed. The MRZ 2.0-litre petrol engine has been completely revised and now has electric throttle and sequential valve timing.

This makes maximum torque available at a much lower engine speed than before for quick engine response in every gear.
Two newly-introduced transmissions enhance character of this engine: a six-speed manualtransmission as standard and an optional five-speed automatic. Yet despite its fun-to-drive nature, the new MZR 2.0-litre uses 4 percent less fuel than the outgoing 2.0-litre.
Mazda5 facelift retains its predecessor’s uniquely communicative interior with Karakuri seat and storage flexibility, and adds new navigation and audio systems for even more fun and convenience.
It has a new DVD navigation system with a new 7-inch multifunctional touch screen now integrated into the centre panel, which makes it easier to read and use. And the system allows you to use Mazda5’s rear-view camera for stress-free parking.
Also new is an auxiliary jack and recessed niche at the front of the floor console – for hooking up and listening to an MP3 player using Mazda5’s audio system – and a new in-dash, 6-CD changer for hours of non-stop music.
If you need to stay in touch while driving, a new Bluetooth mobile phone system with steering wheel control is now available as well.
To enjoy these new features to the fullest, Mazda5 facelift’s interior is now quieter and more comfortable.
New front dampers and a refined suspension provide enhanced riding comfort and maximum stabilitywhen cornering at high speeds, while a newly optimised brake booster is introduced for precise feedback and optimal brake response.
Mazda5 facelift will make its European debut at the Bologna Motor Show, starting 5 December 2007.
