- The Spiano XF model features a fashionable exterior and the new SS grade features sportier turbo performance -

HIROSHIMA, Japan--Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that freshened Spiano micro-mini models, known for their rounded, boxy exterior contours and spacious interior, are on sale from today (April 18, 2006) at Mazda Autozam, Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.


Mazda Spiano XF (FWD model)

The upgraded XF model, based on the former Spiano X model, now has a more fashionable exterior look thanks to a free-flowing front grille, rounded headlights for a cute wraparound effect and silver-highlighted exterior lower body trim. Another new model, Spiano SS, takes the former Spiano Turbo model one step further, with its improved engine output and torque produced by the DOHC Turbo engine, which makes this sportier version a joy to drive.

The manufacturer's suggested retail prices of the Spiano micro-mini series range from 997,500 yen to 1,386,000 yen, taxes included.
