The Mazda Protege 5, a stylish and practical hatchback, first graced the automotive scene in 2000, marking the final year of its first generation. This 5-door model, built on the same platform as the Protege sedan, introduced a unique blend of sporty handling and versatility to the compact car segment. The Protege 5, boasting a sleek and aerodynamic design, offered ample cargo space, making it a popular choice among young professionals and families seeking a functional yet stylish vehicle. Its compact dimensions made it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while its spacious interior provided comfortable seating for five passengers. Under the hood, the Protege 5 was powered by a 1.6-liter or a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and peppy performance. The 1.6-liter engine, paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, generated a respectable 110 horsepower. For those seeking a bit more oomph, the 1.8-liter engine, coupled with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivered 130 horsepower. The 2000 Mazda Protege 5, like its preceding model years, was praised for its impressive handling, thanks to its well-tuned suspension and responsive steering. The vehicle also excelled in terms of safety, featuring standard safety features like dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a driver's-side side airbag. Notably, this model year saw the introduction of the optional "Sport" package, which included a lowered suspension, sportier 15-inch alloy wheels, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, further enhancing the Protege 5's sporty appeal. The Protege 5's combination of stylish design, practical features, and engaging driving experience made it a compelling choice for car buyers seeking a compact hatchback that offered both functionality and a touch of excitement. The 2000 model year marked the end of the first-generation Protege 5, paving the way for a redesigned second-generation model in 2001. However, its legacy of sporty handling, versatile features, and stylish design continued to resonate with automotive enthusiasts for years to come.
