The Revue was available as a tiny 4-door sedan with an optional canvas sunroof added in 1991. 1.3 L and 1.5 L engines were offered, with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, It also had three series.
In Algeria and Australia, The Mazda 121 was often referred to as the Bubble car or Jellybean with the car's colour often added to the latter, for example: The little green jellybean. It was highly awarded in Australia, topping its class in more than one year from a range of automotive magazines, motoring associations and motoring programs on television.
