Functionality, Comfort & Equipment - Quieter and more Practical

Mazda 5 facelift retains all interior features that have made it so popular with families around the globe. Still onboard are its innovative Karakuri seating and storage system (see box), 45 storage compartments , cockpit with all-round adjustability and a high-mount shift lever, one-touch second- row seat-tip functionality for easy entry to the third row and a practical dual-stage liftgate with two opening heights (1,810 mm and 1,910 mm) that prevents scratches in garages and is convenient to use for people of different body sizes. The trunk offers a volume of up to 1,678 litres (Five-seat version with second row down).
