When released in 1999, the Mazda Premacy was one of the least expensive 7-seaters available on market. The 1999 Premacy used Mazda’s CP platform. It was available with either front or all wheel drive and was equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission. As the Premacy was based on a sedan platform, it was less modular than some if its adversaries such as the Opel Zafira and Toyota Ipsum and was therefore relatively easy to maneuver. The second and third row seats could be folded and removed as on many other minivans.

This generation Premacy was also sold in some Asian markets as the Ford Ixion.

The first generation Premacy is still manufactured by China’s FAW Haima Automobile Co., Ltd. where it is called the Haima Freema.

It was powered by a number of engines:

1.8 L FP-DE I4, 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp), 170 Nm (125 lbft)

Mazda3

Ford Focus (Euro Mk.2)

Ford Focus C-MAX

Volvo S40

The new model has been for sale since summer 2005. It is now sold as the Mazda5 in all markets apart from Japan. While classified by Mazda as a mid-sized wagon, it competes with other vehicles classed as Compact MPVs in Europe, and is viewed as a mini-minivan in the United States. It is based on Ford’s global C1 platform, meaning it shares many parts with the Mazda3. Its closest relative is the European compact MPV Ford Focus C-MAX, though the Mazda5 uses minivan-style sliding doors in the rear while the Ford has four conventional front-hinged doors. This version of the vehicle was also introduced for sale in the United States, making it the first compact minivan in that market since the 1994 Mitsubishi Expo (in the United States) and 1995 Nissan Axxess (in Canada). The Mazda5 is marginally larger than the 19841989 Toyota Van. However, Kia Motors would follow suit for the United States and Canada to bring the vehicle’s only competition in those markets, the 2007 Kia Rondo. The Mazda5 replaced the Mazda MPV as Mazda’s minivan offering in most export markets.

In North America, the Mazda5 fits six passengers using three rows of seats, with 2 seats per row, probably due to safety regulations. Elsewhere, it is sold as a seven seater using Mazda’s “Karakuri Seating System”, which means the car has three rows of two seats, with the seventh seat a clever fold away jump seat in the centre of the middle row. Mazda has managed to use proper three-point seat belts on all seven seats and avoided resorting to a lap only belt on the seventh seat.

The middle row of seats recline and slide front-to-rear, and fold flat to ease cargo loading. The rear row also folds flat.

Mazda gambled on how popular a “mini-minivan” platform might fare in the U.S. and in Canada. For the 2006 model year Mazda chose to keep things simple and sporty for North American customers, offering fewer Mazda5 options than in other markets. The North American version lacked the front-to-back roof rails (common to most all minivans) that were included as standard in other markets. Other notable Mazda5 options not offered in North America included a back-up camera, power-assist side doors and even a choice of engine (2.3 L only). A second-row DVD entertainment system was eventually offered as a dealer installed add-on. Mazda produced a limited number of Mazda5 units featuring all-wheel-drive but this version was not made available outside of Japan for the 2006 model year.

Mid-generation changes

2008-present Mazda5 (US)

For 2008, the Mazda Premacy/Mazda5 received a mid-cycle refresh. For the exterior, the Premacy received an updated front bumper, wheels, and rear LED lights for Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. The automatic gearbox is updated to 5-speed. The interior received a few changes to the dash including luminescent gauges, an updated radio control layout with auxiliary input, a rear A/C vent, and center console, and a full set of armrests for the first and second seating rows on North American models. Mazda first released the 2008 Mazda Premacy in Japan, with other markets to follow.

Specifications

The wheelbase is 2750 mm (108.3 in) with an overall length of 4610 mm (181.5 in) [ JDM: C model/F model - 4505 mm (177.4 in) / S model - 4565 mm (179.3 in) ].

Engine options:

1.8 L MZR I4, 85 kW (116 PS/114 hp)

2.0 L MZR I4, 110 kW (150 PS/148 hp)

2.3 L MZR I4, 117 or 119 kW (159-162 PS/157-159 hp)

2.0 L MZR-CD I4 Diesel, 89 or 105 kW (105-143 PS/103-141 hp)

Recall

Mazda was forced to recall the Mazda5 in the United States shortly after production began due to a risk of exhaust system fires. Owners that were not made aware of the manual shifting mode (“sport mode”) of the 4-speed automatic transmission would mistakenly leave the shifter in that position, resulting in high temperatures as the car would remain in second gear. Mazda’s solution was to add a heat shield around the muffler and to alter the vehicle’s software to not allow excessively high RPMs beyond a short period of time when in “sport mode”. Although the 5-speed manual transmission equipped cars would seemingly not need to be recalled, Mazda chose to retrofit all Mazda5 versions with the new parts and software. The company also gave customers US$500 (for Canadian owners, it is C$500) plus a loaner car while the problem was mitigated. 2,700 vehicles were affected.

Awards

The Mazda5 was named “Best New Multipurpose Family Vehicle” in the 2006 Canadian Car of the Year awards. Consumer Reports ranked the Mazda5 as the best “tall wagon” in their test, though the car failed to gain a “recommended” rating due to unknown reliability.

In April, 2006, the Japan New Car Assessment Program (J-NCAP) awarded the Mazda5 a maximum 6-star rating for front-occupant crash worthiness. In Europe, the Mazda5 was awarded a maximum 5-star “adult occupant” safety rating in September 2005 by the Euro-NCAP.

Third generation (2011)

Mazda has announced that it will debut the third generation Mazda5 at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. This model gets a revised style, inspired by Mazda concepts like the Nagare and Furai. In Europe the new 5 will be offered with either a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder or a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with direct-injection and Mazda i-stop start/stop technology, which will reduce emissions by 15 percent. Both engines will come with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard.

Plug-in hybrid version

Main article: Plug-in hybrid

Mazda is developing a rival to the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt; Mazda tests are sufficiently advanced that Mazda has a working prototype in a Mazda5 MPV bodyshell .
