Mazda MX-5 fourth generation is here!
The Mazda MX-5 picks up from the best selling roadster in history! The fourth generation of this popular model delivers perfect balance, comfort and design!
The new Mazda MX-5 has improved fuel efficiency, with near perfect weight distribution and lightweight sports car design.
“Over the past quarter century, the demands for greater environmental friendliness and safety have grown increasingly more stringent. Each successive model of the past three generations has seen slight increases in body size and weight in response to these demands. In developing the fourth-generation MX-5, Mazda returned to the original aims of the first generation that had restored the culture of the lightweight sports car and then took on the challenge of embodying the fundamental pleasure of driving an open-top lightweight sports car in a product suited to today’s needs. The result is the most compact body size of any MX-5 generation. We are excited to launch this vehicle in Southern Africa”,
comments Mr David Hughes – Managing Director of Mazda Southern Africa.
