AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/20 Report--

Since FAW and Mazda signed the cooperation agreement, Mazda 6, that is, Atez has been producing and selling in China for 15 years, and the design elements are also from zoom-zoom design to the current Soul 2.0 design, whether from the old post-80s fans to the new generation of 00th generation fans all praise Mazda's design. However, the first quarter of 2019 has passed, and Mazda (China) announced that sales in China were 18078 in March, down 22.8% from a year earlier. Ting's cumulative sales from January to March were 52466. Among them, FAW Mazda sold 7629 units in March, with a cumulative sales of 19682 units from January to March, while Changan Mazda sold 10449 units in March and 32784 units from January to March.

This may once again confirm the characteristics of whether Mazda is praised or not. In terms of appearance design and driving experience, Mazda's models are among the best in the same class, while Mazda's models are also supported by cool techs, AVC technology, and Chuangchi Blue Sky technology with the highest compression ratio of the same level and excellent fuel economy should be the bonus points that make it sell well. The more reason is that Mazda did not upgrade its models in the new round of upgrading, and only Mazda remained motionless for a long time under the upgrading of the major car companies around it. In addition, the choice of models in China is weaker than the product lines of other manufacturers. The pricing is on the high side, even the Mazda 3, which is about to be replaced, does not offer a substantial discount in terminal sales, and it is very cost-effective in the face of competing models of the same class, which virtually becomes the main reason that affects its sales.

Many people also criticized the Mazda model part of the workmanship is not as good as the Japanese mainstream manufacturers, abnormal noise is too much. In retrospect, the previous two generations of Ma 6 models have been recalled to varying degrees; in April 2013, FAW announced that abnormal operation of airbags may occur in extreme cases due to defects in airbags. In addition, the internal pressure of the gas generator in the airbag rises abnormally, the metal container may burst and splash fragments, and the high temperature gas of the gas generator may leak or even catch fire. FAW will recall 24465 first-generation Mazda 6 models produced from March 29, 2003 to December 27, 2003.

2011-March 4 Mazda announced that dealers in North and South America had received 20 rare cases in which air could not be successfully introduced into the fuel tank due to the blockage caused by spiders nesting in the air conduit of the fuel tank. Mazda plans to recall 65916 American Mazda 6 (Rui Yi) manufactured from April 8, 2008 to February 8, 2010 to correct fuel tank air ducts and software updates. The countries affected include the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, while air ducts in Japan, Taiwan, Chinese mainland, Europe, Australia and other places have different designs and do not need to be recalled.

If it goes on like this, will Mazda become a second Suzuki, and how long can it go on like this? Let's wait and see!
