Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, the smaller Tribute was well equipped and offered a roomy interior.
Available in three trim levels, the Tribute came with a front-wheel-drive or four-wheel drive system.
The base DX model was equipped with a rather underpowered engine that developed 130 hp, mated with a 5-speed manual transmission.
For an additional cost, the choice of a more powerful 200 hp V6 engine was available. The V6 unit was mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission as a single option.
The mid-range LX trim level, the Tribute was equipped with upgraded cloth upholstery, cruise control, fog lights, a cargo cover and a reclining, split-folding rear seat.
The top-of-the-range ES added leather upholstery and a power driver’s seat.
Offering room for 5, the Tribute offered a roomy interior for both the front and the rear passengers. However, two adults would be better than three in the back seats.
With the small-SUV market constantly increasing, the Tribute had strong competitors as the Honda CR-V, the Jeep Cherokke or the Nissan Xterra. However, the Tribute was a best seller with the most powerful V6 in its class and the spacious cabin.
Mazda’s aim was to built a sport-utility vehicle that would do more than just moving people from A to point B. The Tribute was a fun car to drive, providing good handling and a comfortable ride.
