Mazda MX-5 worshipers can rejoice, the latest generation model will start at £18,495 when it is launched in the UK in mid to late June. The MX-5 is hot to trot due to its power to weight ratio, rear-wheel drive and 50:50 weight distribution.
The MX-5 will be offered up with the latest generation of two efficient SKYACTIV-G petrol engines, the 1.5-litre 131ps and 2.0-litre 160ps petrol units.
Nine models across five trim levels are offered to hairdressers, cross-dressers and nail groomers throughout the UK. That said the MX-5 is a deceptively fine handling car able to outperform supercars due to its chassis finesse. Obviously in terms of engine performance the little MX-5 is outgunned in pretty much every department say next to a 911 GT3 RS. But at least it is efficient. Ahhh… efficiency.
Mazda made sure to “innovate in order to preserve” the agility, fun and engagement that has always defined the MX-5 while at the same time meeting ever-increasing safety and efficiency requirements, alongside improved refinement.
The lightest MX-5 since the iconic original, the all-new Mazda MX-5 is shorter, lower and wider than the outgoing car, with the smallest overhangs and lowest centre of gravity yet.
The all-new Mazda MX-5 features alloy wheels, LED headlights, a leather steering wheel, plus a lightweight and sleek fabric hood. SE-L models add LED daytime running lights, climate control air-conditioning, DAB radio, Bluetoothand cruise control, plus Mazda’s MZD-Connect connectivity and infotainment system with 7-inch Colour touch-screen display and Multimedia Commander.
SE-L models with the 2.0-litre 160ps engine are distinguished by 17-inch Gunmetal alloy wheels and piano black door mirrors, and benefit from a strut tower bar and limited slip differential.
Step up to Sport trim and both the 1.5 and 2.0-litre cars feature rain sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, smart keyless entry, Premium Bose®Surround-Sound and heated leather seats.
With the 1.5-litre engine, Sport trim MX-5’s come with 16-inch Gunmetal alloy wheels and piano black door mirrors. Sport models with the 2.0-litre 160ps engine benefit from a dynamic set-up that includes Sports suspension featuring Bilstein dampers, a limited slip differential and strut tower bar, while visually, they are marked out by their 17-inch Bright alloy wheels and body coloured mirrors.
