2005 Mazda MPV LX Front-Wheel Drive Passenger Van

Overview

Compared with other minivans, Mazda's MPV handles better on the road, and maneuvers better in tight confines. It offers a unique alternative for buyers who like the versatility of a minivan but who do not need the ultimate passenger or cargo capacity of the larger minivans. The MPV is smaller than most minivans and is front-wheel drive. It has unique roll down windows in its dual sliding doors unlike other minivans. It can seat up to seven occupants and has a third-row of seating that folds flat into the floor. It is powered by a 200 hp 3.0-liter V-6 engine that is controlled by a five-speed automatic transmission. Safety features include antilock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, and front seat belt pretensioners. Side-impact airbags and traction control are standard on upper level trims. The Mazda MPV is a carryover from 2004.
