3 MPV models to give you choices.

All feature V6 power and are well equipped onlyt he luxury amenitiesvary.
The top-of-the-line MPVES model includes such luxury features as leather-trimmed uphol-stery,*separate air-conditioning controls for front and rear passengers,and an AM/FM/CD Super Sound system. For those who put more emphasis on pure practicality in a mini van,Mazda has two other trim levels.The DX has a full complement of features that includes reclining front bucket seats,attractive and sturdy cloth upholstery,the extremely flexible seating configurations,roll-down sliding-door windows and the 10 beverage holders.The LXadds ABS(withEBD),power windows and door locks with remote illuminated entry,privacy-tint glass,cruise control and front-seat storage drawer. A number of ES features are available inoption packages forthe LX and DX see the Features & Options page for details.

In the course of the test,we had achance to drive different MPV models,and we were impressed by how much they had in common:virtually every essential feature is standard. Exceptionally intelligent design marks the interior as a whole. Even though it’s sensibly sized,its clever use of space makes it seem truly cavernous inside. The insightful design was most obvious in the flexibility of the seating configurations. Switching between seating and storage space was remarkably easy. The Tumble-Under™ third-row seat allowed the MPV to accommo-date cargo on the outbound leg of a trip,and people on the way home-all we had to do waspull a strap,then fold or unfold the seat. And when the seat was up,we took advan-tage of the cargo well behind it for our boots,coolers and smallergear. Thewell isrecessed,so thatwhat we put there stayed there. Equally intelligent was the unique Side by Slide™ second-row seat,which gave us easy entry and exit. Pull a release lever and the seat travels sideways,so we could instantly choose between bucket seats and a bench,without having to plan ahead. This design makesit easy to give kids their own space. Foreven more storage space,youcan stow the rear seat and then remove the individual second-row seats to open up the full storage volume. It’s perfect for moving furniture. 

The versatility really came in handy during our test-drive week.The MPV eagerly swal-lowed allofour camping gear,waterskis and assorted paraphernalia.It also excelled at all of our more routine day-to-day chores,such as carrying groceries or office supplies.We should make special mention here of the Super Sound system on the ES. (It’s also available on the LX.) With 180watts of power and nine speakers,it lived up to its name and consistently kept a whole carload of people happy.The in-dash6-CD changer wasa big hit too,and very easy to use.

All this practicality lives in a very stylish setting.The MPV has a sweeping,graceful carlike dash,very contemporary.The layout and feel of the controls is just right,from the driver’s seat cushion height and tilt adjustments to the air-conditioning controls and power-window and door-lock switches.And we’re not the only ones who have noted the excellence of the MPV design.Auto Interiors Magazinehas given the 2000 MPV its Interior of the Year award. *So somebody has brought real style to theminivan world.Wesay,it’sabout time.

With leather-trimmed* upholstery and seating for seven,the MPVES promises comfort andluxury—anddelivers both.
Even though we’re very familiar with expensive,upmarket cars,we were impressed with the MPV’s overall level of comfort.And,ofcourse,room.The ES in particular had a full range of amenities:reclining front bucket seats,fold-down armrests for the front- and second-row seats,leather-wrapped steering wheel and tasteful wood-tone trim gave this minivan more than a touch of class.

When you hear people talking techabout cars,minivans are probably not the subject.But that’s more out of habit.The Mazda MPV could change that.Because,true to a rich heritage of innovation,Mazda includes plenty of advanced technology in the MPV.Much of that technology deals with occupant safety.Mazda obviously took a very thoughtful approach here,with just about every facet of the MPV’s design contributing.Front-wheel drive helps with traction,particularly on wet or slippery roads.Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard on the LX and ES models. High tech? The MPV’s ABS features Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBDforshort) to automatically optimize the brakingforce between front. and rear.Whether the minivan is fully loaded or empty,EBD always helps give you the shortest stops.The MPV brakes are power-assisted disc in front and drum in the rear.Other notable safety features include heated side mirrors (LX,ESavailable on DX) that stay clear even in rainy or cold weather,and three-point safety belts for all six outboard seating positions (the rear center passenger gets a lap belt).For your security,anavailable antitheft alarm is paired with an electronic“immobilizer”feature,which uses an embed-ded microchip in the ignition key,coded so that only your key can start the engine.And for peace of mind,Mazda includes 24-hour.
