You are in the Mazda Mazda5 Forum. Your Host is Karens
Okay, can we get the focus back on the entire 2009 Mazda5 and not just the possible power sliding doors? Any one get any leaked info yet? I contacted Mazda and they said they have no information they can release to the public. Grrrrr!  My fear is I buy the 2008 5 and then three months later they announce the bigger/better specs for the 2009 model and a Mazda5 Speed edition.

Replying to: ptien_va (May 12, 2008 6:20 am) LOL, would be great, but no. Mazda NA is running the Mazda5 message as economical, great family hauler and without sacrificing handling and fun-to-drive. A turbo engine like the ones for the MazdaSpeed3 or MazdaSpeed6 will bring the MPG really down plus may not be a good seller for such a small market niche. It might be more attractive to sell in Japan or Europe though but the new Mazda6 will keep them busy at least through 2009. |

Has anyone seen anything indicating an engine upgrade (the new 2.5L) and/or ESC for the 2009 Mazda5?

I'd read rumors of a new engine that got 1 mpg better gas mileage and added a few more horses to boot. I was driving past a Mazda dealership and decided to get a firsthand look at the interior and let my 3 year old clamber around in it. The sales guy confirmed that the 2009 would have a new, improved engine. But, generally, details on other features are few and far between. I'm in the burbs north of Seattle. We get rain like 200 days a year and a few days of light snow here and there. The 5 doesn't offer AWD or even traction control, so I'm wondering if they might be upgrading the safety features for 2009. I like the 5, but if they don't step up their game on safety, it's going to be a hard sell to the wife. |

| Where are these rumors from? I would be interested in knowing if there was any solid information what the mazda5 will have in 2009. I guess I could just wait until September to see, but curious if someone knows... | |

According to this press release, the Mazda5 will have minimal changes for 2009. According to it, the only changes for 2009 will be: "New Liquid Silver exterior color to replace Sunlight Silver (late availability) Sand interior color now available with Stormy Blue and Brilliant Black exterior colors." Since we will not buy a family vehicle without Electronic Stability Control, that rules out the Mazda5 for us for at least another year.
