HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation has revised the Mazda AZ-Wagon micro-mini, with models going on sale today at all Mazda Autozam, Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.
Mazda AZ-Wagon XS Special with a continuously variable transmission
(front-wheel-drive model)
Upgrades include the addition of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with an auxiliary gearbox to improve the fuel economy of the Custom Style XS and the XS Special (with CVT) grades by 0.5 kilometers per liter*.
Additionally, the turbocharged front-wheel-drive (FWD) model grade now qualifies for Japan's eco-car tax reduction program, joining the naturally aspirated AZ-Wagon models which already qualify.
A newly added eco drive indicator supports eco-friendly driving by notifying the driver when the car is running in a fuel efficient manner. The indicator is fitted to all CVT and four-speed automatic transmission (4AT) model grades.
Main features of the revised AZ-Wagon
- The Custom Style XS and XS Special (with CVT) feature a CVT with an auxiliary gearbox that has a low/high two-stage gear set. This improves power at low speeds and increases fuel economy at high speeds.
(FWD models: 23.0km/L to 23.5km/L. 4WD models: 22.0km/L to 22.5km/L*) - CVT and 4AT model grades have an eco drive indicator which supports eco-friendly driving. By monitoring factors such as real-time fuel usage and force acting on the accelerator pedal, a light on the dashboard illuminates when the car is running in a fuel efficient manner.
- The XG grade is available with a new exterior body color, Aqua Veil Blue Pearl Metallic.
- Newly designed seat and door trim. The XG and XS special have a calming design in navy blue, and the Custom Style series features higher quality fabrics.
- The Custom Style XT has 15-inch aluminum wheels and an audio-less specification that allows customers to select their desired audio system.
- The FWD Custom Style XT (with turbocharger) now qualifies for a 50 percent tax reduction.
- The XS Special and Custom Style XS four-wheel-drive (4WD) grades have improved from a 50 percent reduction to a 75 percent tax reduction.
