Mazda's MPV minivan received only a few minor upgrades for 1994. Larger 15-inch tires, disc brakes, and side-door impact beams were added to the list of standard equipment 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 power brakes, power steering, a tilt steering wheel, power exterior mirrors, an AM/FM/cassette stereo system, and rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. Options included air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, and cruise control. Drivers reported having relatively few repair problems with their MPVs, and many considered the vehicle to be a good value and economical to drive. On the downside, some noted the MPV could be noisy, and some considered it to be underpowered.
