The Suzuki Kei (Japanese: スズキ・Kei, Suzuki Kei) is a kei car produced by Suzuki between 1998 and 2009. Originally only available as a three-door hatchback, a five-door version arrived in the third quarter of 1999.[1] The car received a facelift in late 2000, when the three-door version was also dropped, and another facelift in 2001, including a newer dashboard.
From 1999 to 2006, Suzuki also produced the Mazda Laputa (Japanese: マツダ・ラピュタ, Matsuda Rapyuta) as Mazda's rebadged version of the Kei.
