Is the Atenza's engine imported or domestically produced?
2 Answers
The Atenza's engine is imported. Taking the Atenza 2021 2.0L Sky Luxury Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this car is FAW Mazda, classified as a mid-size sedan, with a gasoline energy type, a maximum power of 116kw, a maximum torque of 202nm, and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. The car's dimensions are 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
Regarding the origin of the Atenza's engine, I think it's worth discussing its development history. When the Atenza first entered the Chinese market, its engines were indeed imported from Japan. However, Mazda later strengthened local production cooperation, and now the mainstream Atenza engines are manufactured in China, primarily assembled and technologically applied by local factories. This shift has reduced production costs, allowing ordinary consumers to enjoy more affordable prices. At the same time, the engine performance continues Mazda's SKYACTIV technology, offering good fuel economy and smooth power output. Having driven an Atenza for several years myself, I feel that the domestically produced engines have made significant progress in reliability and maintenance convenience, with ample parts inventory, unlike imported cars which often face shortages. In the future, this localization trend will continue to drive brand development, helping more Chinese families own cars.
