Mazda Motor Corp. is wrapping up a banner year in an overall sluggish auto market, and its US sales chief expects that momentum to extend into 2025 — even without a fully electric vehicle in its line-up.
Buoyed by demand for its gas-powered compact crossovers and mid-size SUVs, the Japanese company is on track to deliver more than 420,000 vehicles in 2024, a 16% rise, said Tom Donnelly, president of Mazda’s North American operations, breaking a record set in 1986. It aims to sell 450,000 vehicles in 2025, he said.
