Mazda will start offering the 2017MY MX-5 this month
in dealers nationwide with minor change. Not
that it needed any changes at all, but Mazda USA saw fit to add Blind Spot
Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert as standard in Club models.
The rest of the package remains as is, with the 2017
MX-5 retaining its US$ 24,915 MSRP base price and customers being offered the
choice between three trim levels: Sport, Grand Touring and Club.
The entry-level Sport model comes equipped with
black cloth seats, 16-inch bright-finish alloys, leather-wrapped shifter and
handbrake, cruise control, LED headlights and tail lights among others.
If you want to get the best out of your Miata, then
the Club model is the one for you as it comes with a limited-slip differential,
a shock tower brace on manual-equipped models, Bilstein suspension, a front
aerodynamic lip and spoiler among others. There is also the option of the
Brembo/BBS package which includes side still extensions, forged BBS alloys and
front Brembo brakes.
The Grand Touring adds a bit more luxury into the
MX-5, offering leather heated seats, automatic headlights with High Beam
Control and additional sound deadening in the soft top, among other features.
All North American Mazda MX5s come with the
2.0-litre Skyactiv-G unit which produces 155 hp, paired to a standard six-speed
manual gearbox.
