Overview
In the realm of compact vans for passengers, the 2014 Mazda 5 Minivan is well known. Prices go up to MSRP $24,670, with 3 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the Mazda 5 offers seating for up to 6 people. There is a single-engine on offer, which is a 2.5L Inline-4 engine, attached to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, and 5-speed automatic transmission is optional, which makes 157 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. This returns a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. Despite a curb weight of 3,457 pounds, this engine feels potent enough. The Mazda offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the Mazda 5 among competitors like the Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Nissan Quest.
