The Mazda Flair Crossover is based on the Suzuki Hustler which is a very popular SUV-styled mini wagon. Suzuki has had success in building small SUVs styled road cars and this trend seems to be catching on here in Kenya. The Mazda Flair has been in production for 2 generations starting from 2014 to present.

The exterior adopts a retro styling with a face that comes with round headlights and an angular finish. Towards the rear, it takes on a boxy shape that is finished off with a flat tailgate. It somehow resembles the Jimny albeit in a smaller package. It comes in XG and XS. The XS is the luxurious version that comes with alloy rims, fog lights and turbo charged engine.

On the inside, it’s laid out in a simple and functional way. The instrument panel is modern with crystal clear gauges and dials that are easily accessible to the driver.

It can seat four passengers with decent legroom for medium-sized adults.  Luggage space is small when all four seats are occupied.

The first generation Mazda Flair comes with two engine choices; a 658cc DOHC 3-cylinder engine and a 658cc Intercooler Turbo engine. This is linked to a CVT transmission and is available in either 2WD or 4WD.
