New model Premacy – full of Mazda insight
The new model Premacy (export name: Mazda5) was released in February 2005.
For the first time, we have put families in the spotlight and entered the minivan market with the Premacy, which is part of our lineup of newgeneration
vehicles.
The Premacy takes the concept of Zoom-Zoom even deeper, allowing us to realize the concept of 'insightful' vehicle manufacture.
Development concept: Communicative and Dynamic
We aimed for a new standard in C-class minivan design, focusing on
balancing a use of space and functions that facilitate ease of
communication between all passengers, drive quality that exceeds
expectations for a minivan, and stylish design.
Sliding doors on both sides, and a stylish design
The PremacyMazda5features sliding doors that open to 700mm on both sides, facilitating entry to
and exit from the car even in the tightest of spaces. Most people assume that a minivan with sliding
doors will have to be a box-type car that looks somehow like a commercial vehicle, but
our stylish design disproves that. By tightening up the slide rails, as well as focusing
on sharpening the overall design, we have created a car with excellent
aerodynamic performance, which also provides enough room for
passengers up to 185 cm in height to sit comfortably, even in the third
row of seats.
Unique package offering
Six + One seating
The Premacy's seats are arranged in three rows of two, allowing enough space for six adults
to sit comfortably within the available space, with a walk-through open-plan design
throughout.
A foldaway seventh ('+ One') seat, hidden inside the passenger-side seat in the 2nd row,
allows the car to be used as a six-seater or as a seven-seater, depending on requirements.
High-level speed safety for high quality driving
Social & Environmental Report 2005
'Comfortable speed' is the speed at which a car can be driven without compromising
safety. Your comfort and enjoyment while driving increases in proportion to the level of
speed safety the car offers. The PremacyMazda5has excellent chassis functionality
and a highly rigid body, as well as handling accuracy that allows the driver to follow the
exact course he or she determines, and operating stability that does not waver, even
during overtaking on the expressway. At the same time, it is also quiet enough that
passengers can enjoy conversation while the car is moving.
The Premacy also features a MZR engine (see pages 23 and 24) with excellent
environmental performance, including linear acceleration, active responses and
powerful torque during acceleration, giving a sense of luxury alongside superlative
aerodynamic performance.
