Mazda made only a few upgrades to its MPV minivan for 1993. A keyless entry system was added to the list of optional equipment, which also included such features as air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, and cruise control. In addition, a driver's side airbag was added to the equipment list in mid-year. As in previous years, the MPV was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive versions. The two-wheel-drive MPV came with a 121-horsepower, 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine, while the four-wheel-drive model was equipped with a 155-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6. A four-speed automatic transmission was standard for both models. Standard equipment for the MPV included bucket seats, power brakes, power steering, a tilt steering wheel, power exterior mirrors, and rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. While drivers noted that the MPV was roomy, reliable, and handled well, some complained that the vehicle could be noisy, and that some MPVs needed frequent repairs.
