Who Makes Mazda?

Person with White Mazda

The Mazda Motor Corporation, which is based in Fuchu, in the Aki District of Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan makes new Mazda vehicles. As a motor company, Mazda is perhaps most well-known for its rotary engines and SKYACTIV®-G engines. But Mazda has also become one of the world’s most respected car manufacturers, making sporty and fuel-efficient vehicles for everyone to experience.

Who Owns Mazda & What Are Some of its Iconic Models?

The year was 1920, when in Hiroshima, Japan, the Mazda Motor Corporation was born. Started as a three-wheeled motorcycle manufacturer making “Autorickshaws”, Mazda found success with this form of transportation into 1930s. This helped cause motorized carts to become extremely popular. It also put Mazda into the spotlight as a respected manufacturer. By 1940, Mazda had created its first passenger vehicle but was still only known for its three-wheeled carts. Because Mazda recognized that cars were becoming more popular, though, it started designing more up-to-date designs for small cars and trucks. Eventually, as Mazda continued to innovate over the years, iconic Mazda models like the rotary-powered 1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport (110S), sporty 1978 Mazda RX-7, iconic 1989 Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster, and first-of-its-kind 2013 Mazda CX-5 were developed. 

What Sets Mazda Apart From Other Brands?

Now that SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY is ubiquitous in the Mazda model lineup, utilized by such popular models as the Mazda3 and Mazda6, you’ll see less of the iconic rotary engine that gave Mazda a start in-use. That said, Mazda SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY is a huge breakthrough for the brand, leading to fantastic efficiency and power alike for vehicles it’s equipped in. In fact, we’d hazard a guess that if you’re considering Mazda vs. the competition, you’re likely looking for a sporty, refined vehicle that’s also efficient. Chances are, you’ll find a new Mazda to embody all those qualities.

Mazda Technology

 Available 360-degree monitors, found on select trims in select Mazda models, help make parking and reversing easier than ever. Mazda infotainment technology and available Bose® sound make the ride more worthwhile. Comfort technologies like automatic climate control, heated seats, and more, make the interior of Mazda models more comfortable. In short, whatever you’re looking for from your next vehicle, you can improve your driving experience with a new Mazda and all of the technologies it can provide you.
