Mazda is a very popular car manufacturer, renowned globally for its fun-to-drive motors, attractive design, and advanced engineering. But what you might not know is the background of this manufacturer, where it comes from and what technology it uses. So, to answer common questions like ‘Who owns Mazda?’, ‘Is it Japanese?’, ‘Are Mazdas reliable cars?’ and ‘What is Skyactiv technology?’, we’re going to provide you with some extra bits of knowledge that’ll spark even more interest in one of Japan’s most iconic brands.
Mazda Motor Corporation is a publicly traded independent Japanese automaker and engine manufacturer based in Hiroshima, Japan. Although it once had huge ties with Ford Motor Company, it has been independently operated since the late 2000s.
Founded in Hiroshima in 1920, Mazda was initially Toyo Cork Kogyo and eventually became the Mazda we know today, famous for its rotary powerplants and its “Zoom-Zoom” slogan.
Ford took a significant stake in Mazda in the 1970s and subsequently placed it under its Premier Automotive Group. But since the early 2000s, Mazda had begun asserting its autonomy once more and was independent of Ford by 2008. Since then, Mazda has remained independent but has proceeded to operate in cooperation with other brands.
Mazda has its origins firmly in Japan. It has its headquarters and main production facilities in Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, and other regions of Japan. To supplement worldwide demand, though, Mazda also produces vehicles in other countries, such as Mexico, the USA, Thailand and China.
Mazda is consistently praised for its performance, style, and intelligent technologies that boost efficiency and improve safety. Many Mazda drivers choose to stick with the brand for life because of the quality and reliability of Mazda vehicles. Here’s just some of the reasons why you should opt for a Mazda:
Mazda cars are characterised by their energetic driving personality, injecting a spirit of sportiness and fun even into their standard variants. Mazda, as a brand, are passionate about pairing this sporty performance with efficiency, exemplified by their latest car, the Mazda6e. It delivers up to 345 miles of range with a 0-60 speed of 7.6 seconds.
SKYACTIV is a proprietary Mazda technology that integrates engine, transmission, and chassis for better fuel efficiency and more exhilarating driving. It’s a technology used across the Mazda range, from their tiny hatchbacks to sporty roadsters.
Safety matters at Mazda, which is why they developed the i-ACTIVSENSE system which incorporates intelligent driver-assist technologies such as:
These technologies promote increased awareness and reduced road hazards while reducing distractions so that you can focus on the road ahead.
