From Ho Chi Minh City, the journey to explore Mang Thít through the peaceful roads of the Mekong Delta becomes a truly emotional experience, especially when accompanied by a car that embodies a forward-looking spirit while not neglecting traditional values, such as the Mazda CX-5.

Mang Thít Heritage - A Symbol of Memory and Transformation
With over 1,000 ancient brick kilns, Mang Thít is a "living museum" of traditional crafts in the Southwestern region of Vietnam. These conical kilns, once symbolizing prosperity, skillfully utilized clay, water, and fire to create durable building materials for generations.
Mang Thít bricks are one of the symbols of the traditional handicraft of the Southwestern region of Vietnam.
Today, with the rise of industrial life, the brick kilns are no longer as bustling as they once were. But instead of letting this heritage fade away, the people and local authorities have begun a journey to rebuild Mang Thít, transforming it into a cultural and creative space where art, design, and community tourism can thrive on the foundation of the old brick kilns.
Visitors come here not only to sightsee, but also to slow down, listen to the stories of the land and its people, and feel the rustic beauty being awakened in a transforming space. This beauty is not noisy or ostentatious; it is a mature, refined, and captivating beauty in quietude, just like Mazda's design language: simple yet profound, modern yet emotionally rich.
The Mang Thít brick-making village is gradually transforming into a cultural and creative space, a place where stories are told and listeners find them.
Mazda CX-5 - Your reliable companion on every heritage road.
The story of Mang Thít preserving the soul of its traditional craft to usher in a new era is also the overarching spirit in the development journey of Mazda - a Japanese automotive brand that embodies a sophisticated design philosophy and a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and modern technology.
In keeping with its heritage, the Mazda CX-5 embodies the spirit of the fusion between cultural tradition and modern technology.
The Mazda CX-5 embodies the spirit of a new generation SUV design, modern yet deeply rooted in East Asian values, with its Artful Design language combining elegance and strength. Exterior details such as the sporty 3D Signature Wing grille, sharp LED headlights, and 19-inch Goshintai wheels are testament to a design philosophy that constantly innovates while maintaining the core spirit of Japanese design.
The Mazda CX-5 boasts the luxurious and robust appearance of a new-generation SUV design.
The Mazda CX-5 is equipped with GVC-Plus (G-Vectoring Control Plus) technology – an advanced acceleration control system that acts as an "intelligent assistant" on every journey. Developed by Mazda to optimize the vehicle's self-balancing capabilities, this technology not only enhances stability but also provides a smooth, refined, and exhilarating driving experience. In addition, the flexible Mi-Drive driving modes and advanced terrain control system not only enhance performance but also awaken emotions behind the wheel – from bustling city streets to picturesque routes like the peaceful and charming journey to Mang Thít.
Modern features are combined with exquisite interiors crafted in the Takumi style by Japanese artisans.
Just as artisans in Mang Thít select the land, maintain the fire, and shape each brick, Mazda infuses meticulousness and emotion into every design detail, creating a vehicle that is not just for transportation, but also for connection. The CX-5 is not simply a means of transport, but a companion that helps drivers reach lands steeped in cultural depth.
Mazda CX-5 - a companion that takes drivers to the realm of heritage.
When heritage doesn't stand still, Mazda is always in motion.
What Mang Thít and the Mazda CX-5 share is a spirit of inheritance, but not static preservation. Old brick kilns are "rekindled" to become spaces for artistic creation, while Mazda connects traditional Takumi craftsmanship with modern technology to define a new standard for the next generation of automobiles.
Both the Mang Thít brick kiln and the Mazda CX-5 are testaments to a sustainable path: not a gap between the past and the present, but a continuity and transformation. When the past is supported by modern thinking, it is no longer a memory, but becomes vibrant material for the future.
Traditional craftsmanship is a common feature between Mang Thít bricks and the Mazda CX-5.
