AN ALL-NEW Mazda5 multi-purpose vehicle will be premiered at the Geneva Motor Show on March 2. While little details have been released, Mazda says that the car will have a 2.0-litre direct-injection petrol engine. A 1.8-litre option is also available.

Its styling has been updated with Mazda’s Nagare (Japanese for ‘flow’) design philosophy, giving it smooth and curvacious lines.

Sales in Europe will begin in the third quarter of this year, but Mazda could not confirm with us at press time when the car will arrive here.
