No, Mazda is not owned by Toyota. Mazda is an independent company, but the two automakers have a close partnership. They collaborate on certain projects, like developing new technologies and sharing production facilities. For example, they jointly operate a plant in Alabama that produces the Mazda CX-50 and Toyota Corolla Cross.
While Toyota owns a small stake in Mazda (around 5%), it doesn’t control the company. Mazda remains its own brand with its unique approach to design, engineering, and the driving experience. So, while they work together on some things, Mazda isn’t a subsidiary of Toyota.
