Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that it began production of the CX-3 at the Hofu First Plant in Japan on 15^th December. By doing so, it strengthens its vehicle supply system to meet the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) demand, which will increase globally.

The CX-3 is currently manufactured at the Ujina No. 1 factory, which began production in December 2014, and AutoAlliance Thailand, which began production in October 2015.

By producing the CX-3 - which began production at Ujina No.1 factory - at the Hofu factory, Mazda will be better able to increase the vehicle supply capacity of its CX-5 and CX-9, both of which are also produced at the Ujina factory.
