Ever since making a splash at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the Mazda MX-5 has captured the imagination of countless vehicle enthusiasts. Inspired by the British sports cars of the 50s and 60s, this line of roadsters is still going strong in its third generation.
A roadster through and through, the MX-5 design expresses the concept of a “Soul of Motion”. Bold aggressive design choices in the exterior are paired with curves and bends to create a fluid, muscular form. In this, the MX-5 is simultaneously powerful and graceful.
Engineered for performance, the 2017 MX-5 contains several novel features. A highly rigid SKYACTIV®-Chassis exhibits exceptional strength under extreme conditions while still maintaining ultra-light characteristics. This perfect merger of traits allows for unparalleled handling and stability. A 2.0L 4-cyl engine is capable of producing 155 horsepower while linked to a finely-tuned 6-speed manual transmission that allows for seamless shifting.
Besides the pure engineering aspects, the all-new 2017 MX-5 is equipped with state-of-the-art assistance technology. This comprehensive suite, known as i-ACTIVESENSE®, utilizes an array of milliwave radar and camera sensors to gather information about the vehicle’s surroundings. An adaptive front-lighting system turns the headlights up to 15 degrees around corners, ensuring you are always able to see what lies ahead. Lane Departure warnings and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert systems stand ready to warn you of impending obstacles, while available Blind Spot Monitoring can detect hard-to-see objects. Through its powerful combination of raw capability and advanced electronics, the 2017 Mazda MX-5 manages to be equal parts muscle and intelligence.
With the MX-5, Mazda sought to create a design that perfectly embraces the ancient Japanese notion of ‘Jinba Ittai’, the symbiotic relationship between a horse and its rider. In this regard, it seems, they were immensely successful.
