The Mazda Carol (GL) is a compact kei car designed primarily for the Japanese market, offering practicality, fuel efficiency, and easy maneuverability in urban settings. The “GL” trim typically represents a mid- to higher-grade specification, featuring added comfort and convenience compared to the base models—such as upgraded interior materials, improved seating, power windows, and sometimes air conditioning. As a kei car, the Carol is built with a small yet efficient engine (usually around 660cc), keeping it affordable to run and compliant with Japan’s kei regulations. Its design emphasizes a balance between a small footprint for city driving and a surprisingly roomy interior, making it popular among budget-conscious drivers and those needing a reliable daily commuter.
