Originally introduced to the Japanese market in January 1990, the MPV was Mazda's first genuine minivan. Since then it has taken a leading role in the minivan segment thanks to its advanced packaging and high level of functionality. In Hong Kong Mazda's new, third-generation MPV is known as the Mazda8.

With its combination of innovative design and improved driving performance, the Mazda8 achieves superb environmental compatibility at the forefront of its time. Born out of a desire for both spaciousness and passenger comfort, the Mazda8's distinctive packaging expresses a strongly athletic image.
