Mazda to build Premacy variant for Nissan in Japan

Mazda and Nissan have announced an agreement to expand the scope of Mazda’s original equipment manufacturing (OEM) supply to Nissan – as part of this new accord, Mazda will begin supplying its Premacy MPV to Nissan from May this year.

Mazda will supply a clearly differentiated version of the Premacy – which is of course known as the Mazda5 outside Japan – to Nissan for sale in Japan. It’s certainly not new territory for Nissan; the company’s OEM business involves cross-platform sharing with a large number of automakers across the globe.

The two companies have already been collaborating under an existing mutual OEM agreement – Mazda provides the Bongo Van/Truck to Nissan, which is sold as the Nissan Vanette, while Nissan supplies the AD/AD Expert to Mazda, which Mazda sells as the Familia Van.

    Finally, Nissan will have a good MPV to sell…. Hopefully, their pricing structure will be cheap enough for most Malaysians to own!

        Because before Inspira, some people said Perodua rebadging sissy Daihatsu car while Proton car is based on 100% own R&D.

        Thus the fanboyism war begin!

    Paul, I’m looking forward to your test drive report of the new Mazda5/ Premacy. When is it coming? There’s only one unit available for now, in the whole country I was told.

      Wat kinda platform sharing/JV materialized from the
      rebadging of the Inspira/Lancer ??
      Nothing !!… it was a no brainer from the start.
      And yet P1 “ball carriers” think it was a major coup !!!.
