Mazda 5 was the second generation of the Mazda Premacy model. Introduced in 2005, it is classed as a mid-sized MPV although, within Europe, it is placed in the market with Compact MPVs, and in the US it is viewed as a mini-minivan. The Mazda 5 is similar to the Mazda 3 in that it is based on Ford's global C1 platform.
