What’s new
Restyled alloy wheels are new. Since Ford won't give Mazda a four-door version of the Explorer to sell, this is the final year for Navajo as Mazda picks up its toys and goes home to pout.

Hard to find quality

1994 Mazda Navajo LX 2dr SUV 4WD
I bought this vehicle used in 2002 as a graduation gift for my daughter but it is now my personal vehicle. It has 170,000 miles and will easily make 200,000. Just two criticisms of this extremely well-built SUV which should have continued to be made based upon its performance: The rear bumpers rust quickly and badly (I learned its true for for virtually all of them) and even for 1994 … the fuel economy should have been better. On the other hand, it is extremely reliable, the body did not have the bad rusting problems of its Explorer counterpart,did, and its rarity makes it additionally fun to have and drive.

Better than 1994 Explorer

1994 Mazda Navajo LX 2dr SUV 4WD
I went to a Ford dealer on 9-5-1993. And there I found a brand new 1994 Mazda Navajo LX 4WD. I thought it was odd until I looked at the 1994 Explorer that was next to it and realized that the looked identical. I came back on 9-12-1993 and it was still there, so ... I bought it. I still have it today.

Strong Light Truck Utility
James R Arnold, 12/10/2002
1994 Mazda Navajo LX 2dr SUV 4WD
The Mazda Navajo is a very strong and
capable vehicle. The four wheel drive
is excellent, and it's turning radius
is even better. The LX leather package
includes leather seats, and all other
options. The interior is very
comfortable, yet it means business. THe
exterior has excellent trim effects and
stock alloy wheels. I love the vehicle!

Mazda Navajo

1993 Mazda Navajo LX 2dr SUV 4WD
This vehicle was wonderful.
The only thing that ever went wrong with it was the starter, other than that it ran like a dream. Off-road it was amazing. The car would ride over rough terrain and you could hold a can of soda with out spilling it.
I feel that the Navajo is the forgotten SUV. Not many people know what this vehicle is and that it even exists.
It is pretty much a clone of … the Ford Explorer and its parts are pretty much all manufactured by Ford.
