Mazda 5 2006-2010 Specifications

The 2006-2010 Mazda 5 offers a single engine option: a 2.3L inline-4 engine producing 153 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission, providing a balance of performance and fuel efficiency.

The Mazda 5 is available with two transmission options: a 5-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience and a 5-speed automatic transmission for convenience and ease of use. Both transmissions are designed to optimize fuel efficiency and performance.

The Mazda 5 comes equipped with standard safety features including dual front airbags, side-impact airbags, and anti-lock brakes (ABS). Optional features include stability control and traction control, which enhance vehicle stability and handling in various driving conditions.

The Mazda 5 achieves an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway with the automatic transmission, and 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission. These figures are competitive with other compact MPVs from the same era, such as the Toyota Matrix and Honda Element.

Mazda recommends regular maintenance every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Key services include oil and filter changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid level checks. More extensive services, such as timing belt replacement, are recommended at 60,000 miles.

The Mazda 5 offers a range of features across its trim levels, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, a CD player, and optional leather upholstery. Higher trims add features like a sunroof, automatic climate control, and a premium audio system.

The Mazda 5 provides seating for up to six passengers with a flexible seating arrangement. It offers 44.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to 112.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. This is comparable to competitors like the Toyota Matrix and Honda Element, though the Mazda 5 offers more passenger space.

The Mazda 5 is not designed for heavy towing, with a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs when properly equipped. The payload capacity is approximately 1,000 lbs, making it suitable for light-duty hauling and everyday use.
