Upgraded Mazda5 UK Pricing Announced

Going on sale from January 1st, 2010, the revised lineup for the Mazda5 range of Compact Multi-Activity Vehicles (C-MAV) has been announced for the UK market. The new Takara and Furano models replace the previous TS2 and Sport, while a selection of four powertrains and three equipment levels will be available.

Prices for the four petrol and two diesel engined models start from £17,150 and £19,555 (on-the-road) respectively, with the 2-litre petrol automatic transmission variant (priced at £19,650) and the range-topping 143ps Furano diesel costing £21,555 and completing the line-up.

“Our simplified line-up for the upgraded Mazda5 range offers consumers excellent added value, while retaining the vehicles’ unique core features that have such a strong family appeal,” comments Mark Cameron, Mazda UK Sales & Marketing Director.

 “The availability of electric power for the sliding rear doors with remote operation, and a model with automatic transmission, highlight the convenience of Mazda5 ownership. Our market research confirms that the majority of Mazda5 owners are 35-to-45 year old professionals with young families who enjoy a busy lifestyle and I’m sure they will find the new Takara and Furano models for 2010 especially attractive."

“We will continue to market Mazda5 as a fine handling car that has our brand’s typically high driver appeal, with excellent refinement and aerodynamic efficiency (Cd is 0.29), plus a full complement of practical abilities to carry families in considerable comfort and safety,” concluded Cameron.

For 2010 Mazda5 buyers can choose between eight body colours – including one solid paint (Brilliant Black), three metallic colours (Aluminium Silver metallic, Copper Red mica, Galaxy Grey mica and Stormy Blue mica), and three exclusive finishes for the Furano (Aurora Blue mica, Crystal White pearlescent and Radiant Ebony mica).
