Mazda Motor Corporation today announced the launch of freshened models in the Mazda AZ-Wagon micro-mini range, which has already won high praise for its "space utility wagon" concept. The upgraded models go on sale today and are available at Mazda Autozam, Mazda, and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.

Improvements have been made to the AZ Wagon's interior and exterior quality levels. Depending on the model, new seat upholstery and door trim, Mazda's advanced keyless entry & start system, and door mirror covers with embedded indicator lights are now available. Additionally, the AZ-Wagon Custom Style range has been expanded, adding the new T grade that features a turbocharged engine.
