LWA3 MPV

Just one-and-a-half years after the first facelift, Mazda gave its MPV people-mover another makeover.

The bumpers, headlights, tail-lights, grille, mudguards, alloy wheels, colour palette, cabin trim and steering wheel all came in for revisions.

For improved safety, Mazda fitted front side airbags and rear disc brakes in place of the maligned old drum brakes for better braking efficiency, while modifications to the suspension benefited the MPV’s ride and handling capabilities slightly.
