Seeing and touching are critical parts of Mazda Engineering, so it's crucial that the new MX-5 looks and feels like a spirited sports car. This is a discipline of large and small details - the relationship of the wheels to the overall body shape at the grand end of the scale down to the way the shift knob rests in the driver's hand at the fine end.

The new MX-5 is clearly the son of its father. Exterior design themes included "fun" and "modern styling." To achieve this, the all-new MX-5 had to remain approachable and fun, but had to be updated with modern styling cues to communicate both the simple functionality of a modern lightweight sports car and the athletic solidity of a true sports car.

Employing Mazda's new-generation sports car architecture that is significantly stiffer than before provides the base for the new MX-5's world-class safety systems. For the first time the MX-5 offers side airbag protection. A two-volume side-impact air bag is positioned inside each seat backrest. A single inflator simultaneously expands the torso portion of the air bag and the larger-volume head-protection air bag. This innovative design is light, compact, and highly effective at providing the desired collision protection. The new side air bag feature is standard or optional in all markets.

To deliver the ultimate driving experience the new MX-5 comes with a new 2.0-litre MZR engine. Throughout the development process, work focused on what Mazda engineers called "response" and "expansion feel." The result is an engine champing at the bit as it revs enthusiastically past the point of maximum torque to the redline, with superior response and direct feel.

When you get behind the wheel of the new MX-5 you get to experience all that a true sports car should offer. With precise handling and incredible responsiveness the MX-5 takes you on a journey that you hope will never end.
