It combines elegance and elegance with a harsh and purposeful appearance. Reasonable dimensions facilitate maneuverability, but the Tribute is still higher and wider, as well as more capacious than other cars of this class. A wide rut of front and rear wheels emphasizes the harsh look of the car, while increasing its stability. The five-pointed grille is typical for all modern Mazda cars.
Together with a massive bumper and multi-reflector headlights that provide maximum visibility, it gives the car an aggressive look. Tribute - the longest car in its class. Salon leaves a sense of spaciousness and rationality. The car will comfortably accommodate five people. Short overhangs provide maximum space in the cabin and luggage compartment, while at the same time facilitating maneuvering. Tribute is the most capacious car in its class.
Particularly impressive is the legroom (1,100 mm at the front and 950 mm at the back) and shoulders (1050 mm at the front and 930 mm at the rear). The lack of design delights is compensated by ergonomics, which should be assessed only positively - everything is in its place.

The Tribute's handling is like a passenger car: it keeps a straight line, is very stable in turns, and in tense bends of reaction the car is not fast, but absolutely predictable. The Mazda Tribute has two versions of the 2.0-liter engine and one 3.0-liter engine; the 24-valve V6 DOHC engines offer a choice of power from 124 to 197 hp, providing a smooth ride, quiet operation and reliability. 2.0-liter engines are combined with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the 3.0-liter version is equipped with a 4-speed manual.
