Many car enthusiasts may not be a real fan of Japanese Kei cars, with the lot of luxurious, high-performance, and adventurous cars available in the market today. Nonetheless, Mazda decided to have Suzuki rebadge their tiniest model, which is the Spiano.

Kei cars weren’t really much of a favorite because of its little stature and the insides were not much of an interior to see. But Mazda saw the potential of this micro-car in exploiting local tax and insurance relaxations that they were happy to market these seemingly-toy cars again. Vintage car enthusiasts will be happy with this news as this is one vintage car with a fresher atmosphere from the upgrades that Mazda had installed in them. From the exterior chromed front grills up to the comfortable interior cabin, Mazda wanted it to have a bit of modernization but not sacrificing its vintage background.

Vintage enthusiasts should hurry if they would want to buy one of these as they are only produced in quantities of 300 units a month. That is the very reason they’ve contracted with Suzuki to have the Spiano revamped. Suzuki was to be the one to reconstruct this Kei car as they are categorized under low-volume niche products, and it’s a standard practice of Japan automakers to have other companies revamp cars under the said category.

Mazda’s Spiano starts sale this June and will be available at Mazda Autozam, Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.
