Detailed analysis of the Mazda 5 Active+ CRTD 143cv (2005-2008)
General description
The 143 HP Mazda5 Active+ CRTD, launched in 2005, is a minivan that seeks to combine family functionality with a touch of dynamism. With its 2.0-liter, 143 HP diesel engine, it offers an interesting option for those who need space and versatility without sacrificing agile driving. Its design, although sober, hides a surprisingly adaptable interior, ideal for the demands of daily family life.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Mazda5, the feeling is one of control and agility, something uncommon in its segment. The 143 HP diesel engine responds with energy, especially in the mid-range of revolutions, offering satisfactory thrust for overtakes and road trips. The steering is precise and the suspension, although comfortable, keeps the body well-controlled, transmitting confidence in curves. It's a car that invites you to drive, far from the typical heavy and clumsy minivan experience. The six-speed manual gearbox is smooth and precise, contributing to a pleasant and efficient driving experience.
Design and aesthetics
The exterior design of the Mazda5 is functional and discreet, with lines that seek aerodynamic efficiency and maximization of interior space. It is not a car that seeks to attract attention with its groundbreaking aesthetics, but rather with its practicality and balance. The sliding rear doors are a success, facilitating access in tight spaces. Inside, modularity is key, with a seating system that allows multiple configurations to adapt to different cargo and passenger needs. The materials are of good quality and the adjustments are solid, conveying a sense of durability. The ergonomics are well-resolved, with all controls within reach of the driver.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2005 Mazda5 Active+ CRTD incorporates the essentials for its time. Its direct injection diesel engine with variable geometry turbo and intercooler is an example of efficiency and performance. The six-speed manual transmission optimizes fuel consumption and engine response. In terms of safety, it features disc brakes on all four wheels, ventilated on the front axle, and a well-balanced chassis with McPherson type suspension at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, which contribute to safe and stable driving. Although it does not have the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistance of current models, it more than fulfills its function as a safe and efficient family transport.
Competition
At the time, the Mazda5 competed with compact minivans such as the Renault Grand Scénic, the Opel Zafira, the Ford C-Max (although the latter was a 5-seater) and the Volkswagen Touran. Compared to them, the Mazda5 stood out for its more dynamic driving feel and its sliding door system, which offered a practical advantage. Its 143 HP diesel engine placed it in a competitive position in terms of performance and efficiency within its segment.
Conclusion
The 143 HP Mazda5 Active+ CRTD is a minivan that, despite its age, remains a very interesting option for those looking for a versatile, practical family vehicle with a touch of dynamism in driving. Its diesel engine offers a good balance between performance and consumption, and its modular interior adapts to almost any need. It is an honest, well-built car that more than fulfills its purpose, offering a more gratifying driving experience than might be expected in its category. A faithful companion for family life.
