The compact-class minivan from Mazda goes by the label of MPV, which means Multi-Purpose Vehicle. It received a face-lift and new cabin features last year and repeats in 2005 with changes to optional packages.
Rear air conditioning becomes a stand-alone option for LX trim, the All Sport Package adds power controls to the driver's seat and the LX Plus lists the rear air conditioner as standard.
MPV's cabin has two tall bucket seats in front flanking consoles on floor and ceiling. On the second row, seats split and slide laterally to form either a continuous bench for two or two stand-alone chairs. The third-row bench, sized for three but more comfortable for two, folds down and disappears into a flat floor to increase rear cargo space. Power sliding rear side doors are optional on MPV, with side-impact air bags plus a traction control system (TCS) available in a package.
MPV feels enthusiastic because it carries a 3.0-liter V6 that generates 200-hp.
