Mazda has released the information about its third generation 2011 Mazda5, ahead of its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
Set to go on sale in Europe this fall, the redesigned Mazda5 features Mazda’s “Nagare Flow” design language, dual-sliding rear doors, and seating for up to seven. According to Hideki Matsuoka, Mazda5 Program Manager, “Our main goal with the all-new Mazda5, was to develop a new C-MAV (C-segment Multi Activity Vehicle) that combines the superior environmental performance these times demand with a new expression in stylish design.”
Under the hood, power comes from a new 2.0-litre DISI1 petrol engine that has been equipped with an engine start/stop system (called i-stop). While official fuel economy ratings weren’t released, Mazda says the engine will make the Mazda5 “one of the most frugal and cleanest C-MAVs on the market, achieving approximately 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the 2.0-litre petrol version it replaces. The Mazda5 will also be available with a 1.8 litre petrol engine.
