Overview
The fourth generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in September 2008 along with the sportier Stingray model. Corresponding models with Mazda badging were sold as the AZ Wagon and AZ Wagon Custom. Significant differences for the new generation include larger rear doors, which incorporate quarter glass, eliminating the need for a D-pillar arrangement. Powertrain options include naturally aspirated and turbocharged 660 cc K6A engines with the latter developing an output of 64 PS, mated to a 4-speed automatic, a 5-speed manual transmission, or a CVT. As with many other Japanese market models, customers can choose between front-wheel and all-wheel-drive versions.
