History
Mazda introduced the Navajo in 1991 as part of a strategic partnership with Ford, leveraging the Explorer's platform to quickly enter the SUV market. The Navajo was positioned as a sporty alternative to the Explorer, but its limited body style and competition from other SUVs led to modest sales. The model was discontinued in 1994 as Mazda shifted focus to other segments.
