Thaco rolls out new model of Mazda CX-5
Truong Hai Automobile Joint-Stock Company (Thaco) launched its new Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) Model, the Mazda New CX-5, at Chu Lai-Truong Hai Industrial Complex in Nui Thanh district, the central coastal province of Quang Nam on November 18.
With G-Vectoring Control (GVC) which improves stability and increases traction, the CX-5 is expected to offer a more comfortable and enjoyable ride.
Mazda is the leading Japanese car brand in Vietnam, with the CUV CX-5, Mazda 3, and Mazda 2, in addition to Mazda 2 and 3 All-New, and Mazda 6.
Huynh Khanh Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee noted that most Vietnamese automobile assembly companies import Completely Built Units (CBU) from ASEAN countries as some taxes on CBUs will fall to zero from 2018. However, Thaco still produces Completely Knocked Down vehicles, affirming its efforts to develop the locally assembled car industry.
