==Mazda vs CX-50 vs. CX-60

The Mazda CX-50 and CX-60 serve completely different markets: the CX-50 is a rugged, value-focused crossover built in Alabama for North American lifestyles. The CX-60 is a larger, premium, rear-wheel-drive SUV built for Europe and Australia, featuring longitudinal engines and plug-in hybrid options. 

Key Differences:

Market Availability: The CX-50 is available in the US and Canada. The CX-60 is not sold in the US (North America receives the wider CX-70 instead). 
Platform & Drivetrain: The CX-50 utilizes a front-wheel-drive-based, transverse engine layout with standard AWD. The CX-60 sits on Mazda’s new Large Product Group architecture with a rear-wheel-drive bias, offering mild-hybrid inline-6 engines and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) options.
Design & Purpose: The CX-50 features a longer, lower, and boxier stance tailored for outdoor adventures (including a higher 3,500 lbs towing capacity on turbo models). The CX-60 is more upscale, featuring a cab-rearward design and a luxurious, European-inspired interior.

Which One Should You Look For?

If you are located in the US, you can browse trims, current local inventory, and pricing for the CX-50 on the Mazda USA site. If you reside in Europe or Australia, you can explore the premium specifications and hybrid performance of the CX-60 on Mazda Australia or Mazda UK.

Frédéric Chopin - the only known photograph

Chopin's father was Nicolas Chopin, a Frenchman from Lorraine who had emigrated to Poland in 1787 at the age of sixteen and had served in Poland's National Guard during the Kościuszko Uprising. In France he had been baptised Nicolas but later, living in Poland, he used the Polish form of his given name, Mikołaj. He subsequently tutored children of the aristocracy, including the Skarbeks, whose poorer relative, Justyna Krzyżanowska, he married.

==Toyota Venza

The Toyota Venza has been discontinued and is not available as a 2026 model. Its production run officially ended after the 2024 model year, as Toyota transitioned its focus toward the premium, larger hybrid lineup like the Toyota Crown Signia.

Is my car assembled in the USA?

For Toyota vehicles, a VIN beginning with J indicates it was manufactured by Toyota in Japan (as opposed to starting with 1, 4, or 5 for U.S.-built Toyotas, 2 for Canada, or 3 for Mexico).

The 10th character is S, which corresponds to the model year 2025 (using the standard VIN year encoding where S = 2025). 

• JTMRWRFV4SJ087654  (J = Japan, S = 2025)

For the most precise details (exact model, trim, engine, and plant confirmation), you can enter the full VIN into the official NHTSA VIN decoder at 

https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/, 

which pulls manufacturer-reported data including the exact build plant and country.

VIN 7MUFBABG9TV102599 is a 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE (AWD).
This model (and all 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross variants, including hybrids) is assembled in the United States at the Mazda Toyota Manufacturing (MTM) USA plant in Huntsville, Alabama.

• The VIN starts with 7MU, which corresponds to Toyota multipurpose passenger vehicles (SUVs) built at this joint-venture facility in Alabama.
• North American-market Corolla Cross production began at this plant in 2021 (starting with the 2022 model year), and it remains the exclusive assembly location for U.S.-spec models.

Positions 1-3 to - country of manufacture and maker; 

4-8 to body style, engine and trim; 

9 for the check digit; 

10 for model year; 

11 for plant; 

12-17 for the unique serial number.

VIN 4T3RWRFV4SU203792 belongs to a 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE AWD.

• Where assembled: Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky, USA.
  The WMI "4T3" indicates Toyota assembled in the United States (first digit "4" = USA). Recent/current generation RAV4 Hybrids (including 2025 models) are produced at this plant, Toyota's largest global facility, which has built RAV4 Hybrids since around 2020 and continues to do so for North American market hybrids.
• When assembled: Exact day/month isn't publicly encoded in the VIN or available from free decoders without manufacturer-specific build sheet access (e.g., via Toyota or dealer Monroney sticker/window sticker for this unit).
  Position 10 = S = model year 2025.
  As a 2025 model year vehicle currently listed as new/for sale in early 2026 (listings show it in transit or available around Jan 2026), it was most likely assembled in late 2025 (typical for MY2025 vehicles to start production mid-to-late prior calendar year, ramping up through fall/winter for early next-year sales). For precise build date (month/day), check the certification label/door jamb sticker on the vehicle itself (often shows manufacture month/year) or request the build sheet from a Toyota dealer using the VIN.

Which Toyota Models Are Built in the U.S.?

Here’s a quick look at some of the Toyota models currently built by American hands:

• Camry / Camry Hybrid: Kentucky
• RAV4 Hybrid: Kentucky
• Highlander / Highlander Hybrid: Indiana
• Sienna (Hybrid): Indiana
• Tacoma: Texas
• Tundra: Texas
• Sequoia: Texas
• Corolla (Hybrid Only): Mississippi

• Georgetown, Kentucky: The location of Toyota’s largest plant on the globe. They build the Camry, Camry Hybrid, and RAV4 Hybrid. This is a great example of precision assembly lines and American talent and dedication.
• Princeton, Indiana: This is where we are producing the Toyota Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, and Sienna cars. Did you know the Sienna is now a hybrid vehicle only? Indiana workers are doing it at scale.
• San Antonio, Texas: This location is all about trucks. The Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are produced here so that American toughness meets Toyota durability. If you have a pickup in your driveway, it likely rolled off the San Antonio assembly line.
• Huntsville, Alabama: Are engines your thing? Alabama has you covered. This plant produces millions of powertrains for Toyota vehicles each year, at a level of quality that is recognized around the world.
