New Mazda MX5 Prices

The eagerly-awaited all-new Mazda MX-5 – on sale in the UK from November – will be priced from £15,600 up to £18,900 on-the-road, Mazda Motors UK announced today ( Friday 29 July 2005 ), and is available to pre- order from www.mx5liveit.co.uk from Monday ( 1 August 2005 ).

The third‑generation Mazda MX-5 continues the tradition of affordable open-top motoring with the entry-level 1.8-litre 126ps model priced at just a £100 premium over the current second‑generation 1.8i model. The 2.0-litre 160ps model starts at £16,600 on-the-road, while the 2.0-Sport is priced at £18,900 – just £900 more than the current Sport model which is powered by a 1.8-litre 146ps engine.

The 2.0-litre Special Edition Launch Model, in striking Velocity Red with red leather seats, premium BOSE audio system and chrome detailing and priced at £19,995 on-the-road, was available exclusively to Mazda MX-5 Owners Club members from 4 July on the pre-order website, while a limited number are still available for all MX-5 enthusiasts to order from Monday, (1 August 2005).

Meanwhile, the current second-generation Mazda MX-5 continues to fly out of the showrooms with sales in June exceeding expectations for the Zoom-Zoom manufacturer. A restricted number of the current model are still available – including the Mazda MX-5 Icon Limited Edition model priced from £16,600 featuring unique black and orange leather interior – although stocks are likely to run out by the end of August.
