Autozam was the small car and kei car brand of Mazda in Japan, created in the late 1980s as the entry level of Mazda's new sales channels. Many of its cars were rebadged Suzuki models, among them the Carol, the Scrum and the AZ-1 sports car, and it briefly imported Lancia cars as well. The dealerships were absorbed into the Mazda network from 1998, and the name lived on in Mazda models such as the AZ-Wagon. Every Autozam model, generation and model year has its own page on this site, and each of them links back to this brand page.
