The Mazda5 minivan is the average of the Japanese. Launched in 2005, has just had its most successful in Europe, where the first generation has sold 186,000 units. The beautiful front, characterized by large lower air intake and side openings, is matched by a less elegant vehicle body and emphasized by many shelf on which should "lighten" the mass but with little success The rear doors are electrically operated sliding and they are very functional, but the lower mechanism prominent and exposed to contacts in the boarding.
After the presentation of the petrol version a few months ago, is now the turn of diesel, which uses a new engine derived from Ford / PSA 1.6-liter engine capacity reduced from the previous two. The engine weighs 73 kg less than the previous one, has been adapted to the specific Mazda and is manufactured in Europe, from which it is shipped to Japan for installation.
It has a power of 115 hp at 3600 rpm, with maximum torque of 270 Nm constant from 1750 to 2500 rpm. E 'structurally simpler (8 Valve), but more efficient than the 2-liter it replaces: the fact of its average consumption is 5.2 l/100 km, almost a liter less than its predecessor. Also new is the gearbox, which also makes this economy weighing a staggering than 47 kg, while six reports available that this is an engine of the latest generation of course already cold dall'accensioneanche the noise level is very low à well as outside.
As with all new diesel, the maximum power is limited (hence the need of the 6-speed gearbox), but the engine extends well beyond 4000 without losing dramatically to force, while torque comes in at once and makes it easier to march in city. In the comfortable cab, with excellent seats and elegant in a high containment bill, it is convenient remarkable acoustic comfort.
Access through the wide rear doors is very comfortable and spacious interior, while the interior space and versatility, thanks to the Karakuri system that allows you to simply change the configuration of the 7 seats are excellent. Yes the Mazda5 is a minivan, but the behavior has nothing "heavy" of other models.
In contrast, it behaves very well to change direction and shows a very limited inertia, which also allows a sporty driving style, pace of the 115 horses that do not allow some "sharp". However, it is only uphill one feels the weight of the vehicle while traveling in other conditions with high ratios without straining the engine.
Excellent Getrag, the appropriate ratios and precise handling, and regular brakes, which do not show signs of fatigue on the descents also traveled at high speed. A praise to the steering, precise and direct as it rarely happens on a minivan. On this model there is, however, start & stop, but for the next generation by 2012.
The Mazda has a reputation for producing cars with good value for money and 5 this is no exception, although the diesel versions are in the top of the list: the 1.6 diesel in fact, part of 24,950 € (Smart Space) to reach 27,200 by Dynamic Space. E 'scheduled for March with a browser built into the dashboard touch screen developed with TomTom to 1.000 €.
