Who Mazda 5 1.8 MZR suits in Warsaw

In Warsaw, the Mazda 5 is chosen by families with three children and by people who want to tow or carry something on a hitch. A typical rental is a move from Mokotów to Tarchomin with a hired trailer, a weekend away with bikes on a hitch-mounted rack, or a few weeks as a second family car when the children need taking to school and activities in different districts.

The Mazda 5 is the size of a compact, so it is easy to park by a block of flats or outside a school, and the third row only comes out when you need it. With every seat taken, the 115 hp engine needs more revs when joining an expressway, so plan it in good time. The five-speed manual gearbox is easy to use even for someone who normally drives a different car.

With a trailer you travel more slowly, and a lower speed limit applies on expressways and motorways. A light trailer up to 750 kg can be towed on an ordinary category B licence, while a heavier combination means checking your licence entitlements before you set off. Without a trailer the Mazda 5 comfortably takes a family with luggage for a week in the Masurian lakes or at the seaside.

Things worth knowing about the Mazda 5 1.8 MZR

  1. The Mazda5 was previewed by the MX-Flexa concept at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. In Japan it is called the Premacy, and it was built in Hiroshima.
  2. Mazda called the folding seat system in this car Karakuri. It lets you travel with seven seats or with five and a large boot.
  3. The Mazda5 shares the C1 platform with the second-generation Ford Focus and the Volvo S40.
  4. The 1.8 MZR engine was developed with Ford, which fitted it under the Duratec name. It has an aluminium block and a chain-driven camshaft drive.

These facts are about the model generation and its history, not the equipment of this particular car.

Mazda 5 1.8 MZR or Renault Espace 2.0 dCi?

The Mazda 5 has seven seats built in, compact-car dimensions and sliding rear doors on both sides, which beat ordinary doors in a tight space outside a school or a block of flats. The Renault Espace is longer and has five seats as standard, with three separate seats in the second row (we fit two third-row seats on request), a stronger engine (a 130 hp diesel vs the Mazda's 115 hp petrol) and a large boot. Around town with children choose the Mazda; for a long trip with lots of luggage, the Espace.

Mazda 5 1.8 MZR or Mercedes-Benz Viano 3.0 CDI?

Both carry seven and have sliding doors, but the Mercedes Viano is a van with an automatic and a 224 hp V6, while the Mazda 5 is a compact MPV with a 115 hp petrol and a manual. The Viano has far more leg and luggage room, but at about 1.88 m tall it needs care with underground car parks. The Mazda parks anywhere. For an airport run with a delegation choose the Viano; for everyday life with children, the Mazda.

Mazda 5 1.8 MZR or Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi?

Both are family MPVs, but the Mazda 5 has seven seats and sliding rear doors, while the Citroën C3 Picasso has five seats and ordinary doors. With five on board the Mazda's boot holds 426 l and the C3 Picasso's 385 l, which you can enlarge by sliding the bench forward. The C3 Picasso has a frugal diesel and is shorter. For five people and low fuel use choose the Citroën; for six or seven, the Mazda.

Mazda 5 1.8 MZR or Ford Focus?

The Mazda 5 and the second-generation Ford Focus are technically siblings, sharing the same C1 platform. The Mazda turns it into seven seats and sliding doors, while the Focus is a five-seat hatchback with a diesel that uses less than the petrol Mazda. For five people and daily commuting choose the Focus; for a bigger family and ferrying children, the Mazda 5.

The Soul is easier to park and uses less fuel but has a small boot, while the Mazda has 426 l with the third row folded and carries two more people. For a couple or a small family in town choose the Soul; for a big family and trips with luggage, the Mazda 5.

Every engine version of the Mazda 5 first generation CR (2005–2010)

The table lists the engine versions of this generation sold in Europe, with power, torque, drive and production years. The row with our car is highlighted, and versions we have in the fleet link to their own pages. We do not rent the other versions, but the table shows at a glance how they differ from the Mazda 5 1.8 MZR.

Figures separated by a slash are the power or torque of successive variants of the same version (for example before and after the facelift) or of the versions named in the row. A range such as 136–163 PS covers several outputs of the same engine. Figures are for the European market and come from manufacturer material and technical data catalogues.

Mazda 5 1.8 MZR and other versions of this model

Looking for another version of this model, a stronger engine, a diesel or a different year? Those versions are not in our fleet, but below we say plainly how they differ from Mazda 5 1.8 MZR and when our car is all you need. You can book Mazda 5 1.8 MZR straight away.

Mazda 5 2.0 (CR) or Mazda 5 1.8 MZR?

2.0 petrol, 145–146 PS, 185 Nm, manual or automatic

The two-litre petrol has 30 PS more than our 1.8 and was available with an automatic. It is livelier with a full car, but our 1.8 Mazda 5 has the same seven seats, the same sliding doors and the same folding seat system.

Mazda 5 2.0 CD diesel (CR) or Mazda 5 1.8 MZR?

2.0 diesel, 110 or 143 PS, 310–360 Nm, six-speed

The diesel has much more torque, which you feel with seven people on board or when towing. Our Mazda 5 has a 1.8 petrol that is quieter in town and technically simpler, and for shorter family trips it is all you need.

Mazda 5 CW (2010–2015) or Mazda 5 1.8 MZR?

second generation, sliding doors, 1.6 CD, 1.8 and 2.0 engines

The second generation kept the sliding doors and seven seats, but it was the last Mazda 5. In Europe orders were taken until September 2015 and there was no successor, as buyers moved to SUVs. Our Mazda 5 is the first generation, the same practical idea in a slightly shorter body.
