Great Family Vehicle Options From Your Mazda Dealer

Mazda CX-5

Crossover SUVs are popular among smaller families, and the five-seat Mazda CX-5 is a great pick in this category. Like all Mazda crossovers, it includes standard i-ACTIV All-Wheel-Drive, which is always engaged and provides predictable handling in uncertain conditions by proactively monitoring vehicle data and automatically adjusting torque distribution to the wheels. Its 187-horsepower engine provides plenty of power and efficiency, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that lets you shift manually and features a Sport mode.

The spacious interior features comfy cloth-trimmed seating and armrests with cupholders in both rows. Behind the rear seats, the 29.1 cubic foot cargo volume offers plenty of space for bookbags, sports gear, and more. The 10.25-inch full-color infotainment display lets you make calls and control the four-speaker audio system with hands-free Bluetooth capability and steering-wheel-mounted controls.

Mazda CX-90

The Mazda CX-90 is your best bet for a full-size SUV that can seat up to eight people. Three-zone automatic climate control comes standard, so occupants in every row can enjoy their ideal temperature. Leatherette-trimmed seats offer comfort throughout, and the second row features easy tilt and slide for easy access to the third row. The cargo area includes storage boxes and underfloor storage for efficient use of space and organization.

A turbocharged engine combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission provides hefty power and smooth acceleration to get you everywhere you need to go. Manual shift mode lets you use the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for an extra fun drive, and everyone can enjoy audio entertainment from the eight-speaker standard sound system with HD radio.

Mazda3 Hatchback

Families come in all sizes and have different needs, so if an SUV isn’t right for you, consider the smaller, more fuel-efficient Mazda3 Hatchback. Like the SUVs, it offers robust safety and driver assistance features, including cruise control with stop-and-go, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention alert. Despite being a compact vehicle, it still provides luxurious comfort, power, entertainment, and plenty of space inside the cabin and cargo area.
