Mazda MX-5 :: Fourth-generation model set for simultaneous global reveal on September 4

The all-new Mazda MX-5 convertible sports car will be revealed on September 4 at three simultaneous events around the world.


The unveiling will take place in Japan, the US and in Europe, and in its home country the brand will hold a Mazda Roadster Thanks Day which is "intended to express Mazda's gratitude to all the fans that have supported the Mazda MX-5 over the past 25 years".

At this point, no images or official specifications have been released about the new model. The fourth-gen model's chassis has been revealed, and it appears the new model will be smaller than the car it replaces. Mazda claims it set a goal of reducing the weight of the new car by 100 kilograms compared with the current model “while still achieving the highest standards of body rigidity and collision safety performance”.

However, it's believed the new model will be offered with two engines - reports suggest a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre Skyactiv four-cylinder for lower models, along with a gruntier 2.0-litre Skyactiv with outputs of about 135kW and a reported performance target of 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds.

The new-generation Mazda MX-5 has been developed in conjunction with Fiat and Alfa Romeo, with the Italian branch set to offer its own version of the iconic rear-wheel-drive drop-top wearing a Fiat badge.

Stay tuned for more news on the new-generation Mazda MX-5 as it comes to hand.
