What Mazda Vietnam does

Mazda Vietnam (legal entity: Công ty TNHH Phân phối Thaco Auto) is the exclusive distributor of Mazda-branded vehicles in Vietnam, operating as a wholly-owned entity under THACO GROUP, one of Vietnam's largest automotive conglomerates. Founded in October 2010 with business registration number 400077880 in Quảng Nam Province, the company established a strategic partnership with Mazda Motor Corporation (Japan) in 2011, including a joint manufacturing and assembly plant at Chu Lai Economic Zone with a production capacity of 10,000 vehicles per year. The company's product portfolio spans 11 vehicle models across SUV (CX-3, CX-30, CX-5, CX-8, CX-60, CX-90), sedan and hatchback (Mazda2, Mazda2 Sport, Mazda3, Mazda3 Sport), and sports car (MX-5) segments, unified by Mazda's proprietary technology stack including SkyActiv engines and transmissions, SkyActiv-Body and Chassis architecture, i-ACTIVSENSE active safety suite, KODO "Soul of Motion" design language, and Takuminuri multi-layer paint technology (including the trademarked Soul Red Crystal color).

The business operates on a three-stream revenue model: one-time vehicle sales (the dominant stream) priced from approximately 664M VND for entry models to 949M+ VND for premium SUVs; after-sales service revenue through scheduled maintenance programs, repair services, and warranty support (5 years/150,000km); and ongoing parts and accessories sales. Distribution is executed exclusively through THACO AUTO's authorized dealer network of over 100 showrooms and 69 service workshops nationwide, supplemented by the first Mazda Flagship showroom in Southeast Asia, mobile service units, and a dedicated contact center (1900 545 591). The Mazda Service mobile app supports service booking and vehicle management across iOS and Android. Customer segments primarily include individual Vietnamese consumers seeking quality Japanese-engineered vehicles for personal and family use, with a secondary segment of corporate and governmental fleet buyers. Cumulative vehicle sales in Vietnam have surpassed 310,000 units as of 2025, with the Mazda CX-5 holding segment leadership in the C-SUV category. The company has earned 350+ international design and quality awards and holds the J.D. Power 2025 Sales Satisfaction Index leadership position for two consecutive years.
