The middle row was available as a 3-person bench, allowing seating for eight, when most minivans only seated seven.

This was also the only Mazda MPV generation sold in North America with a manual transmission, offered in the '89 through '91 model years. Like the later Honda Odyssey introduced in North America in early 1995, it featured traditional hinged doors instead of sliding rear doors, though the original MPV only had a single rear door.

Unlike other minivans, the MPV's parking brake was directly on the floor beside the driver's seat and operated by the hand, when most other minivans had the parking brake in the driver footwell area and operated by the left foot. Its efficient use of interior space while offering a relatively small exterior drew from Mazda's experience with space efficient one-box minivans, like the Mazda Bongo. The 4WD is not for use on dry roads, but can be engaged and disengaged while moving. A dash mounted switch controlled the center differential, creating a locked power distributions on the front and rear axles. Its selectable 4WD system is not to be confused with all road conditions "all-wheel-drive" systems the MPV can be switched into locked 4WD with a switch mounted on the column gear selector. It was available at Mazda's Japanese luxury dealership network Ɛ̃fini starting in 1991. When it was introduced in Japan in January 1990, its engine displacement and exterior dimensions exceeded Japanese government regulations for vehicles classified as "compact", and as a result, Japanese buyers were liable for additional annual taxes. However this large platform created some liabilities in other markets. The platform allowed such options as a V6 engine, and optional four-wheel drive. It was based on the large rear-wheel-drive Mazda Luce's platform. The MPV was designed from the ground-up as a minivan specifically for the American market, and was introduced in 1988 for the 1989 model year. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive / four-wheel driveġ988–1992 & 1995–98 2WD: 1,730 mm (68.1 in) Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words.

Hatchback models shrink those numbers to 28/37 and 29/39 mpg, with and without i-Eloop, respectively.Įver wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names? Thu,
With the 6AT and 2.5, the Mazda3 sedan is rated at 28/39 mpg, or 29/40 with the company's i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Mazda also offers a larger 2.5-liter inline-four in the 3, and while a six-speed automatic will be the only transmission available with this engine at launch, the automaker has confirmed that a manual is coming shortly. Hatchback models with the 2.0-liter engine achieve 29/40 mpg with the manual 'box and 30/40 with the automatic. Opting for the manual transmission retains the 41-mpg highway number, but drops the city digits to 29. That 30/41 rating is for the Mazda3 sedan fitted with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Now, there's more reason to like the 2014 Mazda3, as we've just learned that the car will officially be rated at 30 miles per gallon city and 41 mpg highway. But beyond its slick lines, we found the new compact hatch to be a pretty remarkable steer, offering up good levels of comfort and refinement, not to mention functionality and engagement. It's hard not to be smitten with the 2014 Mazda3 after all, just look at it. 2014 Mazda3 officially rated at 30/41 mpg, priced from $16,945* Wed,
