Are the Three Major Components of the Atenza Imported?
2 Answers
Atenza's three major components are all imported. Below are the relevant details: 1. Class: The Atenza is a mid-size car launched by FAW Mazda. 2. Powertrain: In terms of power, this car offers two powertrain options, equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines respectively. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 116kW and a maximum torque of 202Nm, while the 2.5L engine provides a maximum power of 141kW and a maximum torque of 252Nm. 3. Transmission System: The engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Both engines in the Atenza utilize Mazda's Skyactiv technology and comply with the China VI emission standards.
I've been driving the Atenza for over five years now. When it comes to whether the three major components are imported, it really depends on the year of your car. For the early Atenza models, those around 2014, the engine and transmission were mostly imported directly from Japan, including the Skyactiv technology system. As for the chassis, it was assembled by the domestic joint venture factory, but key components might have been shipped from Japan. Later, with increased localization, around 2020, more parts started being produced domestically, such as the transmission gradually being localized. However, even with domestic production, quality control remains very strict, and the driving performance is pretty much the same. If you're buying a new car, it's best to ask the dealership about the specific configuration; but if it's a used car, you might want to check the maintenance records—imported parts are good but more expensive to repair.
