The Mazda Laputa was a microcar that Mazda offered in Japan from 1999 to 2006. The car was manufactured by Suzuki and marketed as Suzuki Kei . In 2001 the mix of kei-car and SUV was revised. The Laputa was available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive as a 3-door station wagon or 5-door station wagon. It was powered by a four-cylinder in-line engine with 659 cm³ and one or two overhead camshafts.
In 2006 the Laputa was replaced by the Spiano .

On the world market
The name Laputa comes from the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift . As with the Nissan Moco and the Mitsubishi Pajero , the name is not suitable for sales in Spanish-speaking countries, as the Spanish la puta means the whore in German ( Moco means snot in German and Pajero wanker ).
