2014 Mazda MAZDA5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Mazda5 is a carryover year in all meaningful ways. Its only notable update is a new exterior color; the engine, six-seat layout, trim structure, and equipment otherwise remain unchanged from 2013.
About the 2014 Mazda MAZDA5
2nd gen (2012-2015), third year after the 2012 redesign.
Mazda marketed the Mazda5 as a “multi-activity vehicle” for families and active households that wanted sliding-door usefulness without the bulk of a full-size minivan. Its core appeal was compact size, room for six, flexible seating and cargo space, and handling that felt closer to a small car than a traditional van. That made it a niche choice for buyers who valued easy parking and driving enjoyment more than maximum passenger room or strong towing power.
The 2014 Mazda5 is a compact six-passenger vehicle with dual sliding rear doors, second-row captain’s chairs, and a fold-flat third row. Sport is the practical entry trim and the only one with a manual transmission, while Touring adds Bluetooth and rear parking sensors. Grand Touring focuses on comfort with heated leather-trimmed front seats, a moonroof, and xenon headlights.
