Houston drivers know Mazda makes sleek and luxurious vehicles, but “who makes Mazda?” and “where is Mazda made?” are often on their mind when they sit behind the wheel with us. The Mazda Motor Corporation is based in Fuchu, Aki District, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. This innovative brand earned worldwide recognition thanks to its rotary engine technology. Since then, the Mazda company has truly made a name for itself as one of the world’s premier automakers.
Today, the lineup includes numerous affordable and fuel-efficient vehicles with sporty aesthetics and performance capabilities. Let’s take a closer look at the history of the brand before you stop by Greenway Mazda to see firsthand why so many Stafford drivers choose Mazda.
Mazda is owned by the Mazda Motor Corporation, which got its start in Hiroshima, Japan in 1920. In the early days, the company produced three-wheeled motorcycles called, “auto-rickshaws.” These were the highlight of Mazda-sponsored events in the 1930s, which helped the motorcycles and the Mazda brand grow in popularity.
In 1940, their first passenger vehicle made its debut, however Mazda was still primarily only known for producing those three-wheeled carts. At this time, there was growing demand for affordable vehicles, so the Mazda brand began to work on designs for compact cars, trucks, and three-wheeled vehicles. The compilations of designs led to the production of the iconic Mazda rotary engine.
So, where is Mazda made? Mazda vehicles are produced at several different facilities worldwide, proving that Mazda is truly a global brand. Here is a current list of Mazda production facilities across the globe.
Modern Mazda vehicles are equipped with SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY, a new and different direction than those legendary rotary engines. Much like with the rotary engine, however, many automotive brands are struggling to keep up.
SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY was created to maximize the efficiency of Mazda vehicles and their driving dynamics for exceptional performance on the roads of Sugar Land and beyond. Expect cleaner, more efficient engines, engaging and responsive transmissions, and a light, yet robust, body and chassis.
Now that you know a little more about the history of the Mazda brand and where Mazda vehicles are made, it’s time to see for yourself why vehicles like the Mazda3 and Mazda CX-5 are so popular around Stafford and Alief. Contact us to get behind the wheel of a new Mazda in Houston.
