The Mazda MX:5: A Comprehensive Guide to the Iconic Roadster​

The Mazda MX-5 is the brand’s best ever selling two seat sports car. Featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, signature 50:50 weight distribution, 6-speed gearbox and 2 different choice of engines, it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you press the ignition switch. 

​Engine and Transmission

​Mazda’s idea at the heart of the MX-5 is making them light so that they are more nimble. This means that you don’t need a big, thirsty engine to get sports-car thrills. The MX-5 is offered with a light 1.5 132ps Skyactiv-G engine to provide pure driving pleasure, with manageable power and lightness that adds to the car’s agility. However, for something with a little more performance, then the 2.0 184ps Skyactiv-G engine will satisfy your speed-seeking thrills. 

​Body Styles

​There are 2 body style options available for this classic sports car. For a more traditional roadster look and experience, the soft top roof which can be retracted in seconds is a popular choice. Alternatively, better suited for all weather conditions, the hardtop RF, with a 3 piece retractable roof which opens fully automatically in seconds, offers additional thermal and sound insulation for year-round enjoyment.

Introducing the Mazda MX-5 132ps Kizuna​

​The Kizuna represents the connection built between every Mazda MX-5 and its driver. It’s powered by a 1.5 132ps Skyactiv-G engine with a 6-speed manual transmission.
