The new model year versions of the Mazda MX-5 will hit dealerships in the in United Kingdom on 1 December, with on-road-prices (OTR) starting at £18,495 for the base 1.8-liter SE Roadster (soft-top) and topping out at £23,595 for the Roadster Coupe (retractable hardtop) PowerShift.

Mazda’s subtly revised sports car comes with a refreshed face sporting a more aggressively styled bumper, plus a new pedestrian-friendly bonnet, improved throttle response for the six-speed manual gearbox models and an upgrade braking system.

The MX-5 also benefits from enhanced equipment with climate control air-conditioning and glossy dark grey dashboard panel and steering wheel inserts now being standard on every model. Furthermore, the Sport Tech and PowerShift variants gain an auto-dimming interior mirror, while the Sport Tech also features a new an alloy pedal set.

New to the range is the Sport Tech Nav trim level, which as the name implies, gets a TomTom satellite-navigation system with an integrated 5.8-inch touch screen monitor, 4GB SD card based map (45 countries), Live Services, iPod and Bluetooth connectivity, and complete multi-media functionality.

Engine choice remain the same for the new model year, and include a 1.8-liter unit producing 124bhp (126PS) and a 2.0-liter four-banger rated at 158bhp (160PS).
