Hi,

I live in the UK (West Midlands) I'm looking at purchasing the CX5, probably 68 plate Sport Nav + Petrol however I would like to know where it is built please?

Can someone help please?

Thank you in advance!

 

Many are built in Japan.

 

For anyone outside the UK, "68 Plate" means absolutely nothing. What year or series CX-5 are you looking at?

If the chassis number starts with a "J" then its from Japan. eg JM0KE, or JMZKE etc

 

Oops, 68 plate means it was registered in late 2018/ early 2019.

Sorry about that!

 

My 2018 was built in Hiroshima.

 

Thanks for that! Are you in the UK too?

I'm a firm believer in that if I'm buying a German or Japanese car, it has to be made in Germany or Japan!

 

Good luck with the CX5 purchase. I picked up a used 2017 CX5 Grand Touring AWD last year with only 4K on the clock.

Spent several months working in UK at Ford Tractor . That was many years ago. Made some great friends while working there.

I never could keep up with the locals at the PUB.

Happy Holidays,
Jim

 

Thanks mate, glad to hear you got on well over here!

Merry Christmas mate!

 

VIN Digit #11 tells you the plant.

0 is Hiroshima, 1 is Hofu.

JM3KFBBM9K0683510 = Hiroshima

 

J is for Japan.
