Where are Mazdas made in the U.S.?

I have a friend down South who says Mazdas are being made there now. I thought they were made in Michigan. Where does Mazda manufacture cars in the U.S.?

Mazdas are made at the Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USA facility in Huntsville, Alabama. Production began at the plant in 2021.
Specifically, Mazda’s new CX-50 crossover SUV is manufactured here. It is the first Mazda made on American soil since the last Mazda 6 rolled off the line in Flat Rock, Michigan in 2012.
The Alabama manufacturing plant—which is a joint venture with the Toyota Motor Corporation—lies on the Alabama-Tennessee border and was constructed between 2018 and 2021. It is also responsible for the American-made Toyota Corolla Cross.
Mazda has a number of manufacturing plants across the world. You can decipher which country your Mazda was made in by looking at the first digits of your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN).
Here are some of the countries that produce Mazdas and their respective VIN codes:
  • Japan: J
  • Colombia: 9F–9K
  • Thailand: ML–MR
  • Vietnam: RL–RP
  • China: L, MA–ME, MY–M0
  • Russia: XS–XW
  • USA: 1, 4, 5, 7F–70
