Information about the 2011 Mazda5 has been released by Mazda days before its public unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show.

The redesigned Mazda5 features Mazda’s “Nagare Flow” design language, dual-sliding rear doors, and seating for up to seven passengers including the driver.

The Mazda5 is powered with the new 2.0liter DISI1 petrol engine that has been outfitted with an engine start/stop system (called i-stop). With the engine, the Mazda5 will be “one of the most frugal and clean C-MAVs on the market, achieving approximately 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the 2.0-liter petrol it replaces.”

Mazda will also offer the Mazda5 with a 1.8 petrol engine that produces 115 horsepower and 165 Nm of torque.

Mazda5 Program Manager Hideki Matsuoka stated that, “Our main goal with the all-new Mazda5, was to develop a new C-MAV (C-segment Multi Activity Vehicle) that combines the superior environmental performance these times demand with a new expression in stylish design.”
