What Mazda makes

Mazda Motor Corporation is a Japanese vehicle maker whose main business is the manufacture and sale of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Its own company outline lists a range that runs from the small Mazda 2 and Mazda 2 Hybrid, through the Mazda 3, CX-3, CX-30 and CX-5, to the larger CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90 sport utility vehicles. The two-seat MX-5, known in Japan as the Roadster, sits alongside the BT-50 pickup truck.

Where it is based and how it operates

The company is headquartered in Fuchu-cho, Aki-gun, in the Hiroshima area of Japan, and it describes itself as operating globally from Hiroshima. It was founded on 30 January 1920, which gives it more than a century of history. Its outline reports capital of 284 billion yen and, as of 31 March 2026, 47,144 employees on a consolidated basis, of whom 22,857 work for the parent company alone. As of 1 February 2026 it ran eight production sites and six research and development sites. Its model list groups production bases by region: Japan, North America, China and other countries.

Its electric line-up

Electrified models appear in the same product list. The MX-30 is on it, and so is a model carried under two names, EZ-6 in one set of markets and MAZDA6e in others. The UK site presents the all-new MAZDA6e under the line "Where Japanese Craftsmanship Shapes Electric Driving", and also lists the MX-30 electric and R-EV models. Detailed range, charging and price figures were not available from the pages read for this profile, so none are quoted here.
