Now, two MPVs can look almost the same but their technical specifications could be quite different.

The first generation identified as the AE10 was in production from 2003 – 2009 and the second generation recognized as the AE20 was in production from 2009 – 2017. It can be credited for its versatile MPV design, exceptional fuel economy and dependability.

Some variants of Toyota Wish have some sense of sporty looks that appeal to the young as well. Carrying capacity is one of its strengths. The exterior design combined elements of old stylish, and modern sports looking. Moreover, a design that was uniform to the back doors and advanced exterior was achieved.

(a) Cabin Storage

Inside, the Toyota Wish can be explained as standard but useful with a simple design and controls which are easily reachable to the driver. The space on the first row and second row is good enough but in the third row, the leg space is tight especially for tall passengers and not comfortable for long-distance travel.

The Toyota Wish still offers some resourceful storage sections that are useful for storing items such as smartphones, documents, and beverages. At the first row, there is a door panel storage, 4 cup-holders, a glove-box, and a center dish that stretches to the back. On the second row, there are door pockets and storage is on the front seat jacket pockets. On the third row, there are 2 storage compartments on the sides.

Mazda Premacy

The Mazda Premacy is a minivan that was in production from 1999 to 2017 which was produced by the car manufacturer Mazda. It gained modest success in many markets but currently remained in the shadows of the more successful Toyota Wish. This is mainly due to the strength of the Toyota brand and nothing else.
Mazda Premacy has been in production for three generations since 1999. The seating capacity is the same as the Toyota Wish.

(a) Cabin Storage

The Mazda Premacy is a large car with a big cabin that offers comfortable seating. In the first row, the driver is afforded good space and the seat can adjust far back enough to carry a tall driver. The passenger seat is likewise well spaced and can adjust as required. On the second row, the space is excellent for all three seats. On the third row, the space is ideal for children and passengers of average height.

There are several storage compartments in the cabin that are useful for storing items such as smartphones, beverages, goggles, handbags, etc. In the first row, there are 4 cup-holders, door panel storage, and a glove-box. For the second row, there are front seat jacket pockets and 2 cup-holders. On the third row, there are 2 cup-holders. One thing we find very useful with the Premacy is the secret storage compartment under the second-row seats. This is perfect for storing electronic valuables such as laptops and cameras from prying eyes.

In the seven-seat outline, the boot space is similar to that of a small hatchback and can carry small to medium luggage. With the third-row seats folded down, the boot is large and can carry a lot of luggage. With the third row and second-row seats folded down, the Premacy transforms into a cargo van.

Final Verdict

Both cars have similar looks but differ in technical specifications.

The Mazda Premacy is a classic car thanks to its significant technology changes that come at a higher price compared to Toyota Wish.
