Exterior

The outside of the Tribute didn't get as dramatic a face-lift as the Escape did for 2008. The grille lost its crossbar and the Mazda logo was moved up. The 2009 Tribute gets a capless refueling system that's supposed to make refueling easier. It's 174.9 inches long, which is shorter than its competitors, and 71.1 inches wide, about the same as the RAV4, CR-V and Vue.

* Standard 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels * Standard fog lights
* Standard power mirrors * Standard automatic headlights * Optional heated mirrors (standard on Grand Touring) * Optional power moonroof (standard on Grand Touring)
