Mazda Minivan Specifications

The Mazda MAZDA5 Touring Passenger Minivan is a six-passenger compact van originally designed for European families but has gained a following in the United States with the continuing rise of fuel prices. Mazda has produced the minivan since 1999.

Engine

A modest fuel-injected 153-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine powers the Mazda MAZDA5 minivan. The engine's torque rating is 148 ft.-lbs., which is prompted by a 9.7:1 compression ratio. It takes regular unleaded 87-octane gasoline and earns an average of 23 mpg.

Size

The MAZDA5 weighs a hefty 4,608 lbs. for a minivan that sits on a relatively tight 108.3-inch wheelbase and measuring just 181.5 inches from the front bumper to the rear. Its width is 69 inches and height is 64.2 inches. The MAZDA5's compact dimensions provide only 44.4 cubic feet of cargo room with the third row seats removed from the cabin. The fuel tank contains 15.9 gallons.

Chassis

The final drive rear axle ratio is 3.863:1. Four disc brakes complemented by brake assist and electronic brake distribution systems provide the MAZDA5's stopping power. Independent front strut suspension is in the front and multilink suspension cushions the rear.
