Production of the popular Mazda CX-5 compact sport utility vehicle exceeded the one-million unit mark in April this year. Mazda Motor Corporation of Japan revealed this latest milestone for the first ever full-SkyActive and Kodo-designed Mazda model. The feat comes only three years and five months since manufacturing of the CX-5 began in November 2011.
Global production of the CX-5 began at Ujina Plant in Hiroshima, but has since been expanded to include manufacture at Changan Mazda Automobile Co. Ltd., in China and local assembly at Mazda Sollers Manufacturing Rus in Russia, Mazda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia and Vina Mazda Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd. in Vietnam.
