The 2017 Mazda 5 Touring is a unique, highly practical compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that represents the final model year of the Mazda 5 line in Canada (the vehicle was discontinued in the U.S. after the 2015 model year). Blending the driving dynamics of a compact hatchback with traditional minivan amenities, it remains a sought-after pick for budget-conscious buyers seeking efficient passenger utility.
