Introduced as a front wheel drive compact SUV, the Tribute is unconventionally powerful, providing a surprisingly comfortable ride and of course the distinct look inspired by Mazda’s sports car spirit. Mazda engineers designed and tuned a suspension system specifically for the Tribute. This ‘best in class’ system is a MacPherson Strut Type suspension with an L-shaped lower arm and a stabilizer bar and it makes use of both struts and shocks to deliver a firmer, distinctly sporty drive. The Tribute is also equipped with an independent suspension system that improves maneuverability, matching this with a Rack and Pinion steering system gives the Tribute the handling feel of a sports sedan. The Zoom-Zoom experience is made complete by a calibrated automatic transmission unique to the Tribute, it makes use of a more aggressive shift schedule for quicker acceleration at higher speeds. Even going uphill the Tribute is no push-over delivering serious pull with a maximum power of 157 Ps revving at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 203 Nm at 4,500 rpm.

Exterior styling proclaims the Tribute as a true Mazda car and its enhancements give it a more polished look. A new front fascia, all-new sporty designs on its alloy wheels and redesigned side mirrors fitted with turn indicator lights give the Tribute an air of sophistication.  Plus, its interiors look as great as they feel. Two-tone black trim seats that mold to the contours of the body combine ergonomic support with stylish design. Placing power firmly in your hands, the 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio control gives you total control of the car as well as the music. Mazda designers always make sure that form follows function, the floor mounted shifter doesn’t only look cool it feels natural too.

A host of standard safety features bring a world of comfort to the driver and passengers alike without sacrificing performance or price. Available on every single unit a full complement of safety features designed to save lives and give peace of mind; SRS airbags, side impact beams and Anti-lock Brake System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (ABS EBD) to prevent lock-ups at crucial times.

The best part is the superior value for money that only the Mazda Tribute can deliver. Enjoy and exhilarating drive in total comfort, the 2-tone black trim seats provide the ultimate in luxury and support with no extra cost because it comes stock.    

Imagine getting all of these at an affordable retail price of P 1.050M! And for only P2,000 more, you can get the 2-tone exterior in either Palladium White or Infinity Black. While these facts and stats jump off the written page nothing beats the sheer driving pleasure of driving a Mazda, so test drive one today and judge for yourself if the Tribute is the one suited to your driving style.
