The facelifted Mazda 3 sedan was scheduled to be listed on the Chinese auto market in July. The listing has now been postponed to ‘the fourth quarter’ without any reason given. Could the part crisis in Japan have anything to do with it?

The Mazda 3 is made in China by the Chang’an-Mazda joint venture. When it arrives, price if the 3 will start around 120.000 yuan. Engines for China: 1.6 and 2.0.
