Where is the Mazda 3 Made ?

I heard JAPAN is that true ?

If so that increases my chances of getting the car by a LOT.

Trans, Engine, Assembly is Japan.

Hiroshima Japan

Final Assembly ^^

Engine and trans made in Japan. Mine says 0% parts from US/CDN and 80% parts sourced from Japan.

I wonder where the other 10-20 % of the remaining parts come from?

Mexico?

Why does the sedan seem to have 90% Japan parts, and the hatch have 80%. What's the big difference?

 

[vaBooM]

I was thinking they were taking parts from the bottom of the ocean...

Possibly the Titanic.

 

[lmp180psu]

Well on the Mazda6, maybe they did take the door frames from the bottom of the ocean since they have had the rust ( uhh staining) problem. Cheap shot, sorry all MZ6 owners Great car otherwise.

 

[rpc180]

Actually, I think it says 0% North America, so that cancel's out Mexico... though not Brazil and SA

 

[lmp180psu]

oops, duh! I forgot Mexico was in NA

 

[cowtown]

Maybe Europe?

Not sure on complete content but the glass is make in europe - Germany I believe (I work for Saint-Gobain ) and the brake rotors on my hatchback read: FoMoCo aka Ford.

I have Saint-Gobain glass on my PRO too! So I guess you all drive around with a bit of PRO around you

So Saint-Gobain is in Germany? Sounds like a French name to me...

 

[SoCalMZ3]

Saint-Gobain

Yea it's a French company with manufacturing facilities in 45 countries. I think the automotive glass division is based in Germany but it is also manufactured in US and Asia. Most German, French and Britich cars us Saint-Gobain or Sekurit Brand (also S-G) glass.

[DJ Spencer]

It's made in my back yard....

 

[mnemonicj]

I don't know where everything is made, but I do know who development was done by:

Engine & Transmission - Mazda in Japan
Chassis - Volvo in Europe
Suspension - Ford in Europe (Then tuned by Mazda in Japan)

 

[SoCalMZ3]
