Mazda Mazda5 Performance Overview

Mazda’s compact three-row MPV ran from 2008 to 2015 in this dataset, with 10 verified tests covering five model years. Across those tests, the Mazda5’s performance story starts with the CR generation (2008–2010), where the standard gasoline setup used the 153-hp L3-VE inline-four, while one turbocharged L3-VDT project-car outlier broadened the range. That 2008 C/D Mazdaspeed5 (Project Car) remains the quickest result at 7.2 seconds to 60 mph and 15.6 seconds at 93 mph in the quarter-mile, while regular CR examples sat closer to the middle of the range.

The CW generation (2012–2015) shifted to the 157-hp L5-VE inline-four and a fully naturally aspirated, gasoline-only lineup. In this later phase, acceleration clustered in the high-eight to low-ten-second range: a 2014 Sport reached 60 mph in 8.2 seconds, a 2013 Touring did it in 8.7 seconds, and the slowest recorded run was the 2012 Grand Touring at 10.3 seconds. That leaves the Mazda5 today as a narrowly focused gasoline people-mover whose measured performance, across CR and CW eras, consistently prioritized usable pace over outright acceleration.

How we verify Mazda Mazda5 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mazda Mazda5 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
