Also new is an auxiliary (AUX) jack and recessed niche at the front of the floor console ? for holding, hooking-up and listening to an MP3 player using Mazda5's audio system ? and a new in-dash, six-CD changer for hours of non-stop music. For those who need to stay in touch while driving, a new Bluetooth mobile phone system with steering wheel-mounted controls is now available.

To ensure that Mazda5 buyers can enjoy these new features to the full, the upgraded model's interior is now quieter and more comfortable. The new car features several noise-reducing additions, including a new multi-resonator located around the fresh air intake duct at the base of the windscreen, which lowers the transmission of engine noise, plus strengthened wheel rims and Thinsulate® insulation sheeting within the roof liner to reduce road noise.

New dampers, front and rear, and increased rear toe-in geometry, result in a more refined suspension, providing enhanced ride comfort and maximum stability when cornering at high speeds and when fully laden. A newly optimised brake booster is introduced to give drivers a quicker and more precise feedback and guarantee excellent and easily modulated brake response.

Mazda claims that every model in the Mazda5 2008 upgrade line-up will deliver improved fuel consumption and CO2 levels, which are lowered by between 8 and 11g/km, depending on model.
