The Mazda MPV, produced across two generations from 1990 to 2012, is a versatile Multi-Purpose Vehicle designed for families and individuals requiring adaptable passenger and cargo space. The first generation, known by chassis codes LV and LW, featured a rear-wheel-drive platform and a distinctive sliding second-row seat, offering a more compact exterior for its class. The second generation, primarily designated LW globally, transitioned to a front-wheel-drive unibody platform, enhancing interior spaciousness, ride comfort, and safety, with available all-wheel drive. Mazda's engineering philosophy for the MPV aimed to blend SUV utility with car-like driving dynamics, making it a practical and engaging option in the competitive MPV market.
