Mazda's first entry into the minivan segment was the MPV, short for Multi Purpose Vehicle. Launched for 1989, it stood apart from its American competitors by using a rear-wheel drive platform shared with the 929 luxury sedan. This layout gave it a different driving feel and allowed for an optional 4-wheel drive system, making it more of a rugged, tall wagon than a traditional van. It also featured four conventional hinged doors instead of a sliding side door, a distinctive trait it kept through its first generation.
Today, the first-generation MPV is a cult classic that appeals to fans of 1990s Japanese vehicles. Its unique RWD/4WD architecture and quirky, practical design make it a standout at Radwood-era car shows. The market is still very approachable, with clean examples trading for well under $10,000. Because most were used as workhorses, finding a well-preserved, low-mileage MPV is the biggest challenge for interested buyers.
