29 May 2011|4,428 views
The Mazda3 has hit the 3 millionth unit milestone seven years and ten months after the first-generation version was launched, which makes it the fastest selling model in Mazda’s current line-up of cars. The Mazda3 is produced in three locations, Japan's Hofu Plant in Yamaguchi, China's CFMA plant in Nanjing and Thailand's AutoAlliance plant, and the car is sold in 90 countries around the world.The specific three-millionth unit was a five-door hatchback variant that rolled off the production line at the Hofu factory in Japan, and was fitted with Mazda’s MZR four-cylinder 2.0-litre engine and i-stop, Mazda’s start-stop system.
"The Mazda3 embodies all three 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 vehicle sales," said Hirotaka Kanazawa, Mazda's senior managing executive officer in charge of R&D.
"As we celebrate reaching three million units, I would like to thank the millions of Mazda3 customers for their support and reaffirm Mazda's commitment to delivering outstanding environmental and safety performance balanced with driving pleasure that goes beyond your expectations," Kanazawa added.
