What is mazda chantez?

Mazda Chantez was a microcar produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda from 1972 to 1976. It was introduced as a replacement for the Mazda R360 and was marketed primarily in Japan. The Mazda Chantez featured a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and was powered by a 356cc four-cylinder engine that was mated to either a four-speed manual or two-speed automatic transmission. The car had a maximum speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) and was capable of achieving up to 50 mpg (21.3 km/l) of fuel efficiency. The Chantez had a boxy and distinctive design, which made it stand out among other microcars of its time. The car was only available as a two-door hatchback and was discontinued due to poor sales. Today, the Mazda Chantez has become a rare and sought-after collector's item, with only a handful of surviving units still in existence.
