9 Japanese Automakers
Japanese automakers have significantly influenced the North American market for over forty years, becoming increasingly popular due to their reputation for high quality and durability. There are nine Japanese car manufacturers in the industry today. Can you name them all? Let’s explore the list:
Toyota
As the second-largest automaker globally, Toyota offers a wide range of vehicles, including the Camry, Corolla, SUVs, trucks, and vans. Its Lexus division is known for luxury cars, while the Scion division targets younger drivers.
Honda
Known for the Accord and Civic, Honda also offers the Odyssey minivan, Ridgeline truck, and various other models. Acura is the luxury division of Honda, catering to the premium market.
Nissan
Formerly under the Datsun brand in North America, Nissan offers popular models like the Sentra, Maxima, and Pathfinder. Infiniti represents their luxury line. The company is partly owned by France's Renault Motors.
Mitsubishi
Originally imported by Chrysler, Mitsubishi began selling under its own name in the 1980s. Popular models include the Lancer, Eclipse, and Montero. DaimlerChrysler holds a stake in the company.
Mazda
Mazda is recognized for models such as the Tribute, Miata, and Mazda 6. The Mazda 6’s platform is also used by Ford for several models. Ford owns a significant portion of Mazda.
Subaru
Known for its all-wheel-drive vehicles, Subaru’s top-selling models include the Forester, Outback, and Legacy. Subaru is owned by Fuji Heavy Industries, with General Motors having a 20 percent stake.
Suzuki
Suzuki, 20 percent owned by General Motors, is noted for both its cars and motorcycles. The Grand Vitara is one of its notable vehicles.
Isuzu
Though once a car importer to the US, Isuzu now has a minimal presence. Its Ascender SUV and I Series pickups are rebadged GMC vehicles. GM holds a stake in Isuzu.
Daihatsu
Introduced to North America in 1988 with models like the Charade and Rocky, Daihatsu ceased operations there in 1992. Toyota now has a controlling interest in the company as of 1999.
These nine automakers represent a blend of independence and collaboration with American and European companies. Like the North American market, further consolidation may lead to the disappearance of some brand names, much like historical names such as Packard and Oldsmobile have faded away.
