Tough, Elegant and Safe
Also premiering at the 74th Geneva Motor Show is a new face lifted version of Mazda's stylish and athletic sports utility vehicle (SUV) Mazda Tribute. Since its debut in 2000, Tribute has attracted a growing number of customers looking for an appealing yet rugged SUV with high levels of build quality and craftsmanship, new-generation driving attributes and high levels of safety. The new version features a redesigned exterior for a stronger sense of refinement, a new centre instrument panel and seat fabric on the inside, the introduction of a 2.3-litre MZR petrol engine, new all-wheel drive (AWD) technology, and upgraded passive and active safety features.
