Mazda launches all-new Mazda AZ-Wagon

Mazda AZ-Wagon

Mazda has just unveiled the new Mazda AZ-Wagon in Japan, which is a badge engineering project based on the Suzuki Wagon-R. Two different exterior styling options are available. The “standard” model is the AZ-Wagon while those who want racier looks can opt for the AZ-Wagon Custom Style which is also the range-topping model.

Two engine options are available – either a normally aspirated 660cc DOHC VVT engine with 54 PS at 6,500rpm and 64Nm of torque at 3,500rpm or a turbocharged 660cc DOHC engine producing 64 PS at 6,000rpm and 95Nm of torque at 3,000rpm.

The transmission options can be quite confusing. The AZ-Wagon is available either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed auto, while the AZ-Wagon XT with the turbocharged engine comes with a CVT gearbox.

The AZ-Wagon Custom Style does not have manual transmission versions, but the CVT is also available for the normally aspirated engines. The turbocharged engines are available only with a CVT but it differs from the CVT in the AZ-Wagon turbo as the gearbox also has a 7-speed manual mode.

Look after the jump for more hi-res photos.

    Wow the first to comment. It looks nice but Paul, what is the dimension, is it similar to Viva? I like the one in white.

    Look a lot like a Kenari. Maybe they can replace the current Kenari with this.

    I thought the word “wagon” is used for cars with storage space at the back of the 2nd row.

    This boxy car (at least after the 2nd row) is like Myvi, Kelisa, Atos…… so whay call it wagon?
