The Mazda Tribute, produced from 2001 to 2006, is a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) that marked Mazda's foray into the booming SUV market of the early 2000s. Sharing its platform and mechanicals with the Ford Escape, the Tribute offered a blend of car-like handling, fuel efficiency, and practical cargo space. Available in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, the Tribute catered to a diverse range of buyers. Power came from a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 2.0-liter unit producing 130 horsepower and a more potent 2.3-liter engine delivering 153 horsepower. Both engines were mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth gear changes and adequate performance for everyday driving.

The Tribute's design was characterized by a distinctive, flowing aesthetic that was both sporty and practical. The interior offered a comfortable and functional cabin with ample space for both passengers and cargo. Standard features included air conditioning, power windows and locks, and an AM/FM stereo. Higher trim levels added features like leather seats, a sunroof, and a premium sound system. While not as luxurious as its rivals, the Tribute provided a solid driving experience with a comfortable ride, nimble handling, and good fuel economy. Safety was also a priority, with features like airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control available across the range. The Tribute was praised for its affordability, practicality, and versatility, making it a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a reliable and capable SUV without breaking the bank.
