Mazda History
For over 75 years, Mazda Motor Corporation has manufactured innovative and thrilling vehicles. Headquartered in Hiroshima, Japan, and started in 1931, Mazda has made its mark in the automotive market by creating cars that are stylish, insightful and spirited, as well as affordable and fun to drive. While Mazda’s largest shareholder is Ford Motor Company, which owns 33.4 percent of the company, it is a publicly held and traded corporation on the Nikkei exchange.

Zoom-Zoom
The company’s world-renowned global marketing campaign – Zoom-Zoom – embodies the challenging spirit of the company’s designers and engineers, the spirit that perfected the rotary engine, reinvented the roadster with the award-winning MX-5 Miata sports car, and won the legendary 24 hours of LeMans sports car race with the rotary-powered 787B. Mazda’s creativity, passion, and innovation are dedicated to delivering fun and exhilarating driving experiences to customers who remember the “emotion of motion” first felt as a child. It’s the “wind-in-your-hair” feeling you get from horseback riding on a crisp fall day, the sense of freedom from cruising down a wooded country lane in a sleek convertible, or the exhilaration that comes from a roller coaster ride.
Zoom-Zoom starts with a visual promise. Mazda vehicles are designed to not only catch the eye; they convey an immediate image of youthful exuberance, style and driving fun. Spirited performance is an essential element of Zoom-Zoom. With that goal always in mind, every Mazda vehicle is designed to offer features that continually surprise and delight our customers.
