Currently, the best-selling car of Mazda is being produced in three locations: Yamaguchi (Japan), Nanjing (China) and Thailand. The Mazda3 is sold in approximately 90 countries and regions across the world.
The three-millionth Mazda3 was produced at the Hofu Plant in the form of a five-door hatchback. The car is equipped by a MZR 2.0-liter engine and the i-stop system and it will be distributed in the Japanese market.
"The Mazda3 embodies all 3 elements of Mazda's DNA: distinctive design, exceptional functionality, and responsive handling and driving performance. Its sustained global success has seen it grow into Mazda's mainstay model, and it now comprises a third of all Mazda car sales," said Hirotaka Kanazawa, Mazda's senior managing executive officer in charge of R&D.
