Upgraded Mazda 5 on sale 1st January

New for 2010, Mazda introduce a completely revised line-up for its Mazda 5 range of Compact Multi-Activity Vehicles (C-MAV) offering customers a choice of six models with upgraded equipment and even greater value.

Replacing the previous TS2 and Sport is the new Mazda Takara and Mazda Furano models; there is a choice of four engines and three equipment levels. Prices for the four petrol and two diesel engined models start from £17,150 and £19,555 (on-the-road) respectively, with the 2-litre petrol automatic transmission variant (priced at £19,650) and the range-topping 143ps Furano diesel costing £21,555 and completing the line-up.

Low-rate finance packages, plus low deposit requirements (from just 0%); make the 2010 Mazda 5 highly affordable family transport. In addition, upgraded Mazda5 models are available for purchase under the new Government-backed scrappage scheme with an increased Mazda Allowance of £3,000, in addition to the £1,000 government contribution, so Mazda 5 ownership can start at just £13,150. Mazda UK is also supporting the scrappage scheme by offering 6.9% APR^ finance deals to ‘scrappage sales’ customers.

For 2010 Mazda 5 buyers can choose between eight body colours including one solid paint (Brilliant Black), three metallic colours (Aluminium Silver metallic, Copper Red mica, Galaxy Grey mica and Stormy Blue mica), and three exclusive finishes for the Furano (Aurora Blue mica, Crystal White pearlescent and Radiant Ebony mica).
