First drive: Mazda 5

Following hot on the heels of the new Ford Grand C-Max and the heavily revised Volkswagen Touran, Mazda has just launched its own reinvigorated solution to the compact MPV class – the Mazda 5.

The Japanese manufacturer has treated the car to a completely restyled body, a retuned chassis, improved interior and an all-new 2.0-litre petrol engine.
