The Mazda Protege 5, a compact hatchback that graced the roads from 2001 to 2003, was a stylish and practical offering from the Japanese automaker. This generation of the Protege, a departure from the traditional sedan body style, marked a shift towards a more youthful and sporty image for the model. The Protege 5, with its sloping roofline and distinctive five-door configuration, aimed to capture a niche audience seeking a blend of practicality and spirited driving. Under the hood, the Protege 5 boasted a range of fuel-efficient engines, including a 1.6-liter four-cylinder and a more powerful 1.8-liter unit. Available transmissions included a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, catering to different driving preferences. Key features included standard power steering, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio with a cassette player, offering a comfortable and convenient driving experience. The Protege 5, while a relatively small car, was praised for its spacious interior, offering ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. Its versatility was further enhanced by its folding rear seats, providing additional cargo space for hauling luggage or other items. On the safety front, the Protege 5 came equipped with standard features such as driver and passenger airbags, as well as anti-lock brakes (ABS) on higher trim levels, ensuring the safety and security of its occupants. While the Protege 5 may not have been as overtly performance-oriented as some of its competitors, it provided a satisfying balance between performance, fuel efficiency, and practicality. With its youthful styling, spacious interior, and competent handling, the Protege 5 carved out a niche for itself in the small hatchback market, offering a compelling alternative for those seeking a compact car with a touch of style.
