Is the Mazda CX4 an imported or joint venture model?
2 Answers
Mazda CX4 is a joint venture model. Mazda is a Japanese automobile manufacturer headquartered in Hiroshima, Japan, with major sales markets including Asia, Europe, and North America. The Mazda CX4 is a compact SUV under the Mazda brand, produced by FAW Mazda in Changchun. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158 hp and a maximum torque of 202 Nm. The dimensions of the Mazda CX4 are 4637mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1524mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The transmission system is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
The Mazda CX4 is indeed a joint venture vehicle, I can confirm that. It is manufactured by FAW Mazda, a joint venture established between China's FAW Group and Japan's Mazda, with the production plant located in Changchun. Although it bears the Mazda logo, all parts are assembled domestically. The joint venture model helps control costs to make the vehicle more affordable, and with localization, parts supply is convenient while maintenance becomes worry-free. I remember my friend just bought a titanium gray CX4 last month, and even deliberately added a domestic joint venture badge on the rear. The newly launched 2021 model now comes with a panoramic sunroof, showing that joint venture models are continuously upgrading their localized designs.
