It’s
designed to fit you, and the times, perfectly.
Back in the day when most cars were designed for one
task—and the fuel to run them wasn’t insanely
expensive—choosing a new one was simple. Now, of
course, it’s a different story. We expect more from
what we drive. Ability as well as adaptability.
Efficiency plus exhilaration. And the six-passenger
MAZDA5 delivers on all counts: sporty handling,
remarkable versatility and the best fuel efficiency
in its class:* 28 mpg highway/22 mpg city,† which
means a lot less time at the pump. With its wide
variety of interior configurations, it rivals much
larger, clumsier vehicles for utility while
trouncing them in efficiency. Simply put, the MAZDA5
is one of the smartest, most efficient ways there is
to transport all sorts of people and cargo. And with
sporty MAZDA3 underpinnings and a tight turning
circle, it’s also one of the most enjoyable.
Obviously, with this much versatility, style and
efficiency, the MAZDA5 lets you have your cake and
eat it too. Just without all the fat.
Whatever
the activity, MAZDA5 is appropriately dressed.
With so much talent in so many areas, the 2009
MAZDA5 is no one-trick pony. And it has the
versatility enhancing standard features to prove it.
Take the MAZDA5 Sport, which comes equipped with
automatic climate control; power-operated windows,
door locks and dual remote outside mirrors; plus a
six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system and cruise
control—both with steering-wheel-mounted controls.
Not to mention thoughtful touches like a
tilt/telescopic steering wheel, electroluminescent
gauges and an auxiliary-audio input jack for your
MP3 player. The MAZDA5 Touring ups the pleasure
quotient with a 5-speed Sport AT automatic
transmission, in-dash CD changer, power
sliding-glass moonroof, and leather-wrapped steering
wheel and shift knob. Then there’s the ultimate
MAZDA5 Grand Touring, which adds rain-sensing
automatic windshield wipers, leather-trimmed
seating, heated front seats and Bluetooth®
hands-free phone system capability.
It
maximizes every inch of space along with every
gallon of fuel.
When it
comes to making the most of space, the MAZDA5 takes
a 50/50 split fold down third-row seat to no one.
Its configurable interior offers a full 97.7 cu ft
of interior passenger volume, 44.4 cu ft of cargo
area* and versatility limited only by your
imagination. It’s also packed with
“why-hasn’t-anyone-else-thought-of-this” standard
features, like an ingenious second-row foldout tray
table with storage and dual cup holders. Reclining
second-row seats with inboard and outboard armrests
and under-cushion storage bins. Theater-style second
and third-row seating. A multifunctional center
storage console with an auxiliary-audio input jack
and individually controlled second-row cool-air
vents. And that’s just for starters. In fact, you’re
likely to find something newer, smarter or simply
better almost everywhere you look inside the 2009
MAZDA5. Which, of course, should come as no
surprise. After all, wouldn’t you expect a vehicle
so good at conserving resources to be utterly
resourceful itself?

It handles
life’s twists and turns as skillfully as the road’s.
Multitasking. Most people were doing it before it
was a word. And they’re still at it, juggling work,
home and recreation with remarkable skill and
efficiency. This, come to think of it, is just what
the MAZDA5 does. While it’s an amazingly versatile
and roomy Multi-Activity Vehicle, capable of
transporting everything from shortboards to middle
schoolers to extended families, it’s also trimmer,
sportier and way smarter than your typical, bloated
gas guzzler. The MAZDA5 even makes it easy to load
and unload whatever you need to carry, thanks to its
extra wide, easy-gliding side doors. An ultra-light,
dual-height-position liftgate. And independently
folding second- and third-row seats that convert to
a fl at cargo floor over five feet long. Now, factor
in best-in-class fuel economy,* and the MAZDA5 adds
up to one of the most efficient, practical and
versatile people movers on the planet. And one
that’s perfect for today. After all, a multitasking
life demands a multitalented vehicle.

MAZDA5
works hard at playing it safe.
By now you have an idea of how versatile and fun the
MAZDA5 is. But when it comes to your safety, there’s
no such thing as being overprotective. That’s why
the 2009 MAZDA5’s many standard safety features are
always on the job, adding protection from impact and
injury. Some, like “Triple H” construction and steel
side-impact door beams, are part of the MAZDA5’s
structure. Others, like 4-wheel disc brakes with an
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), enhance driver
control. And still others, including Advanced dual
front air bags, dual front side-impact air bags and
side-impact air curtains,* are placed throughout the
MAZDA5’s cabin. All of which helped MAZDA5 earn Five
Stars—the highest possible rating—in government
frontal crash tests.† You’ll also find three-point
seat belts and adjustable headrests at all six
seating positions. In fact, MAZDA5’s standard safety
features even extend to a Tire-Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that warns you when air pressure in
one or more tires is low. Proving that MAZDA5 really
does help protect you from top to bottom.

Always wear your seat belt and secure children in
the rear seats in appropriate child restraints.
