The Mazda Drifter, also known as the Bongo in Japan, is a versatile and popular van produced by Mazda since 1999. Originally introduced as a successor to the Bongo Friendee, the Drifter has gone through various iterations over the years, offering a diverse range of body styles and configurations to suit different needs. Initially, the Drifter was available as a panel van, a minibus, and a wagon, with the latter being particularly popular for its spacious cabin and comfortable seating arrangements. In subsequent years, Mazda introduced a number of special editions and trim levels, adding further customization options to the Drifter's already impressive repertoire.
The Drifter's enduring success can be attributed to its reliability, practicality, and versatility. Equipped with a range of robust and fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines, the Drifter provides ample power for both urban and rural journeys. Its spacious interior and clever cargo configurations make it an ideal choice for families, businesses, and adventurers alike. Whether transporting passengers, hauling goods, or embarking on weekend escapes, the Mazda Drifter consistently delivers a comfortable, dependable, and user-friendly experience. The Drifter is not a dedicated "drifter" vehicle in the sense of a car designed for drifting. The name "Drifter" might be a marketing choice or a literal translation of the Japanese name "Bongo."
