Mazda 9 is expected to settle in Qingdao with an annual production capacity of 150,000
Morning News (Reporter Ma Xiaosen)
Mazda has been making waves recently, with various rumors circulating about its models. From the "Mazda 6 threatening to cut prices for three years" to "Mazda 3 is set to move to Nanjing," the automotive world is buzzing. A month ago, the reporter uncovered another potential development: the Mazda 9 could be produced at FAW-China Sino-Qingdao Automobile Co., Ltd., a joint venture between FAW Group and Qingdao Yuzhong Tobacco Group.
On December 15 last year, FAW Group and Qingdao Yuzhong Tobacco Group officially established FAW Sinopharm Qingdao Auto Co., Ltd., with FAW holding 60% of the shares and Qingdao Yuzhong owning the remaining 40%. The company's goal is to develop passenger vehicles, focusing on introducing new models that can compete in the market. At the time, it was speculated that the first model introduced would be the highly competitive Mazda 3 sedan.
An insider from FAW Car once mentioned that the competition in the domestic economy car and mid-size car segments is extremely intense. While launching a model like the Mazda 3 could attract some attention, the profit margin might not be very high. As a result, FAW Cars is considering introducing a premium vehicle instead. It is believed that the Mazda 9 could be produced in Qingdao, while the Mazda 3 may be manufactured in Nanjing.
Although the news about the Mazda 3 moving to Nanjing seems to be confirmed, the plans for the new model from FAW Yuzhong are still unclear. However, last week, the reporter received confirmation that the Mazda 9 will be produced at FAW Zhongzhong, with an annual production capacity of 150,000 units. Additionally, the new factory is expected to bring in advanced production equipment from Japan.
To verify this information, the reporter contacted representatives from FAW Group, Suizhong Automobile, and even Hainan Mazda, but all remained silent. Finally, an anonymous source from the Suizhong Automotive Technology Department confirmed to the reporter that FAW Group and Suizhong Automobile are currently in negotiations with Mazda to introduce the Mazda 9 model. These discussions have been ongoing for several months, and it is highly likely that the Mazda 9 will soon make its way into the Chinese market, as no other models have been planned so far.
