In Japan it was marketed as a keicar with an air cooled, 354 cc 2 cylinder engine with a 4 or 5 speed transmission driving the front wheels. Exported cars were given a 598 cc engine, which was rated at 36 hp (26 kW). The powerplant was almost humorously small, but it got excellent gas mileage, one car magazine recording 136 mpg (1.7 L/100 km) when they didn't exceed 30 mph (48 km/h)[1], which came at almost the perfect time with a gasoline shortage looming.

Despite its small size and low powered engine, it had no problem maintaining freeway speeds and serving its purpose as a commuter. The only frequent complaint about the car was that it had a very harsh ride, which was largely due to its short wheelbase. The interior fit two adults comfortably, though the back seat was not nearly so.
The car featured a black plastic hatchback that revealed a small shallow boot. Below the boot was a locker that was accessed via a hatch hidden behind the number plate. This locker contained the spare wheel and tools.
Front suspension was coil sprung and independent the rear has leaf springs on a beam axle. The rear springing contributed to the poor handling. In the UK the Z600 was only available in orange with a black stripe up the side.
