Hi All,

I've read a lot of media articles that continue to refer to the CX-5 as being manufactured in Hofu instead of Hiroshima (Ujina Plants 1 & 2).

I've been through Hiroshima more times than I can count, and I'm very famililar with the factory. It's been a while since being back there though and at the time I could clearly see Mazda 2's, MX-5's and CX-9's.

Hofu is the newer of the factories and home to Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 (international model).

See:

I saw a video where the CX-5 was being produced right next to the CX-7 and Mazda 5, so it makes sense that the CX-5 is produced in Ujina Plant No.2.

Has anyone got any proof of this?
