Mazda MPV Overview

The MPV has four doors with two sliding doors for rear passengers. It can commute up to seven people with four bucket seats and a rear bench that can fold down into the floor. It comes available in 3 trims, the LX, the SV and the ES. Power comes from a standard 200-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers a reasonable 18-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway and a five speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Safety features include side-impact airbags, Slope Control, which controls transmission shifts to overcome steep hills, and the front seat seatbelts include pretensioners.

For 2006, changes are insignificant.
