The new Mazda Mazda5 features flexible seating that can be reconfigured to maximize passenger or cargo space. Space in the center of the cabin is intended to ease communication, and occupants enjoy tiered seating in three rows.

Aimed at young, professional families with active lifestyles, the Mazda5 will come in Sport and Touring trim levels when it goes on sale in late 2005.
