Mazda has confirmed that the Mazda6 will continue to be produced and distributed in Vietnam and other countries, despite being discontinued in Japan.
Mazda recently made the announcement that the Mazda6 sedan will be discontinued in the Japanese market starting from April 2024. This mid-size sedan was also discontinued in North America in 2021 and in the UK last year. These discontinuations have led to speculation that the model will be phased out globally.
However, in an interview with Car Expert, a Mazda executive stated that the model will still be produced in Japan and Vietnam for distribution in various markets. “We will continue to produce the Mazda6 in Japan for Australia and several other markets. The assembly and sales of the car in Vietnam will also remain unchanged,” the company representative confirmed.

Mazda’s decision is similar to what Toyota did with the Camry. The Camry was discontinued in Japan but continues to be produced for other markets.
Therefore, customers in Vietnam, Australia, and other markets can be reassured that the Mazda6 will still be available for purchase, at least until the end of its current life cycle. The third-generation Mazda6 has been on the market for 12 years, which is double the lifespan of an average mainstream car. However, Mazda has not provided any official information yet regarding the next-generation Mazda6.

According to Car Expert, citing a source in Japan, the fourth-generation Mazda6 will be a rear-wheel-drive sedan based on the Large Platform chassis of the CX-60 and CX-90 models. If this information is accurate, the Mazda6 is not expected to be launched before 2025 as the company is currently focusing on developing new SUV models due to a significant decline in sales of large sedans worldwide.
