Are Mazda cars made in Japan?

Mazda cars are designed and engineered in Japan, but they are manufactured in both Japan and other countries around the world. The company operates several international production facilities, including locations in Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, China, and Russia. In Japan, Mazda has several manufacturing plants located in Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, and Hofu. These plants produce various components and vehicle models for the global market. The company also has joint ventures with other automakers, which can lead to some Mazda vehicles being produced outside of Japan.
