Are the Three Major Components of CX5 Imported?
2 Answers
Among the three major components of the CX5, only the transmission is imported. The three major components of a car refer to the engine, chassis, and transmission. Additional information: 1. Production Technology: The engine used in the CX5 is assembled and produced domestically using Mazda's production technology, while the transmission is imported as a complete unit due to its highly demanding technical requirements. The chassis is produced domestically according to Mazda's design and manufacturing processes. 2. Exterior Design: This model adopts a brand-new design concept, featuring a notably large front grille that gives the car a sporty appearance. Although positioned as an SUV, the rear seating space is not particularly spacious. The middle section of the rear seat backrest is somewhat hard and protrudes, and the floor has a significant hump, which somewhat compromises the comfort of rear passengers. 3. Powertrain Configuration: The CX5 offers one powertrain model, equipped with a 2.0L engine that delivers a maximum power of 114kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
When the Mazda CX-5 was first introduced to the Chinese market, some of its three major components—the engine, transmission, and chassis—were indeed imported, particularly the engine and transmission, which were largely sourced from Japanese factories. This was because Changan Mazda had just begun localized production and relied on the transfer of core technologies at that time. However, over time, production lines have been upgraded, and now most of the engines and chassis are domestically produced. While some transmissions may still be imported, the overall localization rate has increased significantly. From what I’ve seen on automotive forums, many owners report that the quality hasn’t declined with domestic production; in fact, maintenance has become more convenient. For example, parts replacement is easier, and there are savings on import tariffs. If you’re buying a new car, you can check the VIN code or ask the dealer for specific sourcing details to get accurate information.
