Some details of the new Mazda MX5

The facelift the Japanese convertible will receive starts with a new front end of greater elegance, as ideas are taken from the RX8, while the rear will only get a renewal of the lights and the bumper.

The mechanics remain unchanged, but the aerodynamics of the car have been improved, as well as the suspension system, to slightly increase the car’s performance.

So once again we will see the 1.8 and 2.0L engines coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox; however, to the delight of European users, the automatic gearbox with Manumatic technology will be offered for the first time on the old continent.

The interior will be fitted with heaters offering up to five heat levels; in addition, the colour combination for the interior in metallic aluminium and metropolitan grey creates a very harmonious atmosphere.

For Spanish users a package called “Sportive” is offered, whose main feature is the Recaro sports seats. The convertible will also debut at the Paris Motor Show.
