Mazda Tribute Performance Overview
Mazda’s Tribute entered the market in 2001 to 2001 in this dataset as a compact SUV with a single early performance snapshot, represented by 3 verified tests from the opening model year. All recorded examples fall within the first-generation 2001–2007 run and use the 200-hp AJ naturally aspirated V-6 with gasoline power only, so the model’s measurable performance identity here is defined entirely by its launch-era calibration rather than by a long multi-generation progression.
Within those 2001 tests, the quickest run came from the 2001 LX V-6 at 8.2 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2001 ES V-6 posted 8.7 seconds and also supplied the quickest quarter-mile result, 16.4 seconds at 83.8 mph. Across all three tests spanning just that one model year, the average stood at 8.43 seconds to 60 mph and 16.5 seconds at 84.3 mph in the quarter-mile, placing the Tribute’s recorded performance in a narrow, consistent band. As it stands today in the available test record, the first-generation Tribute remains represented solely by those original gasoline V-6 results, with the LX V-6 still the quickest documented version.
