The 2019 Mazda MX-5 has arrived in the States with a
starting MSRP of US$ 25,730 for the base Sport model, equipped with a six-speed
manual gearbox. Also, the six-speed auto version will
cost you an additional US$ 1,350 premium.
LED headlights and taillights, 7-inch infotainment
system, six-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, two USB ports, leather-wrapped
steering wheel, gear shifter and parking brake, keyless entry and
multi-function steering wheel are all offered as standard. In this grade, you
only get 16-inch wheels though.
Mazda says the entry-level model can be supplemented
with the I-ActivSense Sport Package, which adds Smart City Brake, Lane
Departure Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, for
an extra US$ 850.
Priced from US$ 30,780 for the six-speed manual
transmission, and US$ 31,855 for the six-speed auto, the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Grand

trim, dusk-sensing headlights, auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink,
automatic windshield wipers, automatic climate control, heated leather-trimmed

The fabric-lined soft top provides better sound
insulation and is offered as standard, too, along with the Mazda Navigation,
Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition,
Lane Departure Warning, Smart City Brake Support, and adaptive headlights with
high-beam control. MX-5 Touring models equipped with the stick shift can be had with the
optional GT-S Package. It costs US$ 550 and adds limited-slip rear differential,

All of the aforementioned equipment is standard on

range-topping model, which adds a few exterior enhancements, 17-inch BBS rims
and Brembo rotors and calipers, for US$ 3,770. If you want bucket seats, then
