Mazda unveiled its Mazda2 sedan today at the 2007 Guangzhou Motor Show in China. Set to go on sale during the first half of 2008 in China, the Mazda2 will be produced by Changan Ford Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd. at the company’s Nanjing plant. Mazda is also planning the launch of a five-door Mazda2 in China.
“By introducing the four-door sedan and five-door hatchback to the B-car segment in China, we will have completed our product launches in the B, C and CD segments, which represent the three major Chinese vehicle classes. The new models will greatly strengthen Mazda’s product lineup in China,” Noriaki Yamada, President and COO of Mazda Motor (China) Co., Ltd. said.
Mazda failed to release any technical data on the new Mazda2 sedan or five-door. No word if either vehicle will be available outside of the Chinese market.
