The video's language is in Mandarin Chinese, but you won't need to understand it to appreciate the care that Mazda put into the assembly and refinement of the CX-30. The breakdown should be of a close to 100% JDM-spec CX-30, as Taiwan imports them from Hiroshima directly and doesn't do any local assembly on them.
The show's host is a bona fide car nut (his daily driver is a Civic Type R modded to his own preferences), and he does a great job highlighting the uniformity of the structural adhesives Mazda used on the body frame, the superlative amount of heat shielding used for the exhaust, the extra NVH material applied to areas that some other manufacturers might skimp on, underbody panels that take into account aerodynamic considerations, the front brake ducts, and other small details.
