None of these are "larger than Mazda5" as OP is looking for.

Too bad they stopped making the Mazda 5. We love ours. No idea how to replace it.


I love my Mazda5. Wish car manufacturers would see there is a market for this size vehicle. No idea what I'll do when mine runs it course.

But it’s a 5 seater, no?

OP, the highlander is the smallest of the bigger SUV’s. Unless you are willing to drive a 5-seater, 2 row SUV, I don’t think you are going to find anything smaller than Highlander.

We replaced our mazda 5 with a honda odyssey, and I regret it. The thing is huge and my wife has already crashed it twice while parking.

I would stick with the mazda 5 for as long as possible. I wish we had...

If you just want an SUV of some sort, checkout the Mazda CX7 and CX9. Be warned that the CX9 is the size of a Highlander/Palisade but looks more svelt because of it's more tucked styling.


I had a Chevy Equinox for many years and hauled 2x4's. No big deal.


+1 many 2x4s (and 2x10s) fit comfortably in my subaru forester.
