A red Mazda Miata MX-5, one in the lineup of Mazda cars

Mazda cars have been available for American drivers since the 1970s, when the brand was first introduced to the United States. Since then, a lot of the manufacturing has actually moved to America, where the cars are built in the very communities where they are sold and driven.

On the Global Market

Mazda is a Japanese brand, and it’s not unusual to find vehicles that were produced abroad. They have two primary production locations in their home country: one in Hiroshima, where the company’s headquarters are located, and one in Hofu. Mazda vehicles are also produced in Mexico, Thailand, and, of course, the United States.

In the United States

Like many other international automakers, Mazda has made a name for itself in the U.S. market. From 1987 to 2012, that included a very successful production plant in Flat Rock, MI. There, some of the most famous Mazda vehicles were produced, including the Mazda MX-6, Mazda 626, and Mazda6.

Today, Mazda vehicles are now being produced in the south of the United States. The primary production plant in the United States at present is in Huntsville, AL, which is part of a shared venture with Toyota called Mazda Toyota Manufacturing. This is the location that produces the Mazda CX-5 for the North American market.
