2001 Mazda Tribute 4x4
2001
Victorian 4WD Show:
We seem to have been waiting an age
for the "soft"
4WD Mazda, long preceded by concept cars and
[show cars]
but here it is at last.
Basically the Tribute 4x4 is a twin to the Ford
Escape,
step sibling to the
Land Rover
Freelander
and outright rival to the likes of the
Honda CR-V,
Hyundai Santa Fe
and
Toyota RAV4.
Like all of the above the Mazda
is in concept a front wheel drive, transverse engined car,
jacked up a bit with a rear drive added.
