First generation (MK32S/42S; 2013)

The first-generation Spacia was released in March 2013 with three grades; G, X and the turbocharged T. The Mazda Flair Wagon followed later in April with two grades; XG and XS, all with naturally aspirated engine. Mazda had been selling the Suzuki Palette under that name and continued to use it on the new Spacia after the Palette was discontinued. The upmarket variant called Spacia Custom was released in June 2013 with three grades; GS, XS and the turbocharged TS. Mazda also introduced their version of the Spacia Custom as Flair Wagon Custom Style a month later with two grades; XS and the turbocharged XT. Limited editions based on X and XS grades were launched in June 2014. Mazda also launched a limited edition based on XS grade in the same month. Another limited edition of Spacia Custom XS called J Style was launched in December. The car received its facelift in May 2015. A limited edition based on G grade was launched in December. A new Z grade was added to the Spacia Custom line up in December 2016, fitted with a different front end. This particular sub-model was not adopted by Mazda. Production of the first generation largely ended in December 2017, with the introduction of the second generation Spacia. The wheelchair accessible variants, however, continued to be built until February 2018, when they were also replaced.

Second generation (MK33V/MK53S; 2017)

The second-generation Spacia was unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, along with the sporty Spacia Custom. It is built on the same lightweight HEARTECT platform as the sixth-generation Wagon R. Both the Spacia and Spacia Custom went on sale on 14 December 2017. The Spacia is available in G and X grade levels, while the Spacia Custom is available in GS, XS and XS Turbo grade levels. Both are only available with hybrid powertrain. As before, Mazda continued to offer this car as the Mazda Flair Wagon (and Flair Wagon Custom Style), with development matching those of the Suzuki-badged variants. On 20 December 2018, the crossover variant of the second-generation Spacia, called Spacia Gear, was released and is available in XZ and XZ Turbo grade levels with hybrid powertrain. Mazda's version of this is called the Mazda Flair Wagon Tough Style. Both the second-generation Spacia and Spacia Custom received a facelift on 3 December 2021 with new grille design, as well as a new grade for Spacia Gear called "My Style" features a coloured grille and white coloured roof with two-tone option. On 26 August 2022, the commercial variant of the second-generation Spacia, called Spacia Base, was released with pre-facelift Spacia Custom's front fascia while retaining the regular Spacia's rear lamps and rear bumper. It is available in GF and XF grade levels with naturally aspirated engine. In October 2023, all grades except Spacia Base was discontinued.

Third generation (MK54S/MK94S; 2023)

The third-generation Spacia was unveiled at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show and released on 22 November 2023. The Spacia Gear based on the third-generation Spacia was released on 20 September 2024. A sporty looking Custom model, with a more aggressive front end and better equipment, was also available. The Mazda Flair Wagon derivative continued to be available as well, as well as Custom and Tough Style variants corresponding to the Spacia Custom and Spacia Gear. The more rugged Spacia Gear was launched in September 2024. It was offered in sole variant, the Hybrid XZ. The naturally aspirated and turbocharged variant was available.
