2002 Mazda MPV:
Mazda extended the 2001 model year into early 2002, awaiting the arrival of a revamped MPV. On sale by spring, the new model had a more powerful (200-horsepower) V6 engine driving a five-speed automatic transmission, power sliding side doors, revised suspension settings, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
2003 Mazda MPV:
A low-cost LX-SV was added midyear and power operation for the side doors was made optional on both the ES and LX.
2004 Mazda MPV:
Mazda's minivan gets exterior front and rear styling changes for 2004. Inside, the van received a new steering wheel, gauge surrounds, and a spring assist designed to help the 3rd-row seats fold into the floor this year.
2005 Mazda MPV:
For 2005, rear air conditioning moves from standard on LX to optional; it remains standard on ES.
2006 Mazda MPV:
For 2006, a base LX-SV model joins LX and top-shelf ES versions.
