We are positive your experience with us will be above your expectations. Maybe you own a Mazda now. Maybe you’re brand new to our brand of thinking. Either way, we encourage you to click around here for awhile.
Completely redesigned both inside and out for 2008, the new Mazda Tribute makes a powerful statement with a bold, tough exterior and a more upscale, comfortable interior. Offering more traditional sport utility vehicle (SUV) styling than Mazda's other SUVs, CX-7 and CX-9, the 2008 Tribute is Mazda's entry-level offering in its family of unibody-based crossover SUVs.
The updated Tribute combines the best of both worlds – the capability and styling of a traditional SUV with the versatility of a crossover. The Tribute is small enough to be nimble around town, but still looks muscular and sporty. By maintaining its traditional styling, the new Tribute complements the CX-7 and CX-9 crossover utility vehicles, offering Mazda buyers an alternative choice in SUV functionality.
Car-like front-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain on the 2008 Tribute. If extra traction is necessary – either for off-road driving or pulling heavy loads in slippery conditions – the Tribute is available with Mazda's innovative Active Torque Split All Wheel Drive system.
The Tribute continues to stand alone as the SUV that's actually fun to drive. Its vibrant, athletic character and freshened good looks convey its obvious inheritance of the Mazda DNA. The Tribute combines distinctive styling with superior passenger comfort and cargo-carrying ability to deliver a sport utility vehicle that's more than just another "cute-ute". Its available all-wheel drive system and towing ability make it one of the most capable small SUVs on the road.
