Mazda Officially Killed the Mazda5 Minivan for 2016 - BoldRide.com
Don’t expect that minor detail to affect Mazda’s bottom line though. The Japanese automaker will soon retail the all-new Mazda CX-3 compact crossover and continues to market its highly popular Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, as well as the CX-5 crossover. By comparison, the Mazda5 has only reached 6,835 units sold in the U. S. thus far in 2015. The height of the six-seater’s popularity came in 2008 when Mazda shifted 22,021 units of its minivan. Mazda famously offered the 5 with a manual gearbox option, a rather unheard of addition in the modern minivan segment. It first came a five-speed manual, later replaced with a six-speed unit. If you’re looking to buy a Mazda5, dealerships may offer special incentives on the outgoing models in the coming months. Source: news.boldride.com
