The Suzuki Lapin is a kei car with a five-door hatchback body, manufactured since 2002 by Suzuki for the Japanese market only, and was also marketed in Japan only by Mazda as Mazda Spiano under an OEM agreement through their Autozam stores until 2008.
The Lapin has a very distinctive, boxy shape, that proved popular with female buyers.
The name "Lapin" stems from the French word for "rabbit", and the car sports rabbit-head badges.
The second-generation Alto Lapin was introduced in November 2008 with four trims: "G", "X", "T" and "T L package".
[3][4] This retro-styled kei car is powered by a 660cc gasoline engine producing 51 hp and 60 Nm of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
