New Mazda MX5 Miyako

The Mazda MX5/Miata has proven to be a best seller for the Japanese brand and is now reaching its 20 years on the market. For this reason, the MX5 will receive a few modifications that will be seen in a pair of special, commemorative models of the range, the MX5 Miyako.

Two variants of the MX5 Miyako will be available, one with a soft-top and another with a hard-top, both roadsters, as is appropriate for this model (the rather unusual name was taken from a group of paradisiacal islands in Japan). When comparing one option with the other, the type of roof and the metallic paint of the hard-top model stand out, as does the difference in engines.

The model with the soft-top will have a 1.8 engine, while the hard-top will feature the two-litre engine, keeping the engine choice that current MX5 customers have, with no changes to the power specifications. However, it will now have a front anti-roll bar, fog lights and 17-inch wheels.
