Product Overview

Mazda 8 / MPV III (chassis code LY) is a large minivan in production from 2006 to 2016. It was available with a two inline-4 engines that displaced 2.3 liters, one naturally-aspirated and one turbocharged.
Compared to the Biante and Premacy sold at the same time, the Mazda8 / MPV offers even more interior space. It is, however, only sold in RHD markets and China. Instead, Mazda intended the CX-9 crossover to fill in the gap.
Like other Mazda minivans, the Mazda8 / MPV III is rather handsome. It has great fit and finish and is a good choice for those who have access to it.
