The Rayong plant is controlled by AutoAlliance (Thailand), a joint venture between Mazda and its strategic partner Ford Motor.
The Thai-made CX-3, which the company says will be of the same quality of those produced in Japan, will be sold locally from November 10 and exported throughout the ASEAN region thereafter.
