Mazda Launches facelifted AZ-Wagon i for People with Special Needs

Following the introduction of the facelifted AZ-Wagon in Japan last September, Mazda today announced the launch of the 'i' version, a special needs vehicle equipped with a sloping access ramp for wheelchairs. Based on the fully redesigned AZ-Wagon, the new 'i' has a wider opening at the rear while other enhancements designed for wheelchair users include a new three-point seatbelt and a handrail on both sides of the rear cabin, as standard equipment.

Furthermore, the Japanese carmaker claims that user-friendliness is also improved for caregivers by a sloping entry/exit ramp that is gentler than the previous AZ-Wagon 'i'.
