Mazda Motor Corporation commenced sales today of its fully remodeled
Scrum Wagon minivan and Scrum Van for commercial use at Mazda Autozam,
Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealers throughout Japan.
Mazda Scrum Wagon ‘PZ Turbo’
(FWD/4-speed automatic transmission model) |
Mazda Scrum ‘Buster’ Van
(FWD/5-speed manual transmission model) |
The new Scrum Wagon’s concept is ‘a family wagon a cut
above,’ with a stylish exterior and expansive interior. Its main
features are the convenient equipment it provides to all passengers
and the numerous ways to store items. The all-new Scrum Van, with its ‘everyday
working partner’ concept, bases its appeal on accessibility—the
ease of loading and unloading items to and from the roomy cargo space
as well as its wide door aperture.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices range from 1,244,250
yen to 1,659,000 yen for the Scrum Wagon; from 879,900 yen to 1,165,500
yen for the Scrum Van, both including sales tax. The monthly sales
target for the Scrum Wagon and Scrum Van together is 600 units.

Features of the Scrum Wagon and the Scrum Van
Excellent Ingress and Egress
| - |
Both models feature built-in steps convenient
when users enter and exit for both front and rear seats.
Also, easy-to-use large grip handles assist with ingress
and egress for the driver and passenger seats. |
Convenient and abundant storage space and functions
| - |
Both the Scrum Wagon and Scrum Van are equipped
with a large glove box that can accommodate a tissue box-sized
item, an instrument panel compartment tray and hook (in front
of the passenger seat), a retractable instrument panel ‘pocket’ with
lid (on the driver’s seat side) and a front cup holder
with room for two cups. |
| - |
Each model has also adopted a front-folding passenger seat
mechanism that enables long objects to be loaded easily. |
Upgraded driveability
| - |
An L-type lower arm and suspension frames have also
been incorporated. By upgrading the rigidity of the suspension
mounts, handling and stability as well as riding comfort have
been improved. |
Enhanced safety functions and equipment
| - |
A new body that employs a ladder-shaped frame and
uses a large amount of high-tensile steel paneling have been
adopted for both the Scrum Wagon and Van models. Both models
have also incorporated an impact-absorbing front end, with
hood and fenders designed to minimize impact to a pedestrian’s
head in the event of accidental contact. |
| - |
All models come equipped with front airbags as standard
equipment. |
