When was Mazda Scrum first introduced? Which versions were out at the market?
It was first introduced in June 1989. Their 4WD versions were available in the models DG41 and DH41.
Mazda Scrum, which was earlier known as The Autozam Scrum, is a cabover microvan and kei truck sold exclusively in Japan by Japanese automaker Mazda. Originally part of the company's Autozam marque, it was first introduced in June 1989 (DG41, DH41 for 4WD versions). Mazda still sells the Scrum under its own name. The Scrum is a rebadged version of the Suzuki Carry/Every and used Suzuki engines. The first model year had 550-cc Suzuki F5B engines producing 34 PS or 25 kW, or 52 PS or 38 kW with an intercooled turbo; after only nine months, this was replaced by the larger-engined DG/DH51 (660-cc, 38 PS or 28 kW or 58 PS or 43 kW) as the kei car standards were changed that year.
A passenger car version called the Scrum Wagon was added for 2000, while the commercial truck and van were updated.
The first-generation Mazda Scrum was equipped with 550cc F5B engines producing 34 PS to 52 PS (25 kW to 38 kW) and after nine months replaced with 660cc with 38 PS to 58 PS (28 kW to 43 kW).
