Mazda has announced a new special edition
MX-5 for the UK market called the R-Sport. Limited to 150 Convertible units,
the Mazda MX-5 R-Sport is based on the Sport trim and brings exclusive exterior
and interior upgrades. On the outside, the MX-5 R-Sport features the Polymetal
Grey paint, unique 16-inch Rays gunmetal alloys, piano black mirror caps and a
grey soft top hood.
The interior is dominated by the burgundy
Nappa leather seats with silver stitching, which ensure “the interior has the
same bespoke feel as the exterior”, according to Mazda.
The new special edition model is based on
the Sport trim powered by the 132 PS 1.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine. As a
result, it comes equipped as standard with navigation, Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto, cruise control, heated seats and climate control, among other
features.
Prices for the Mazda MX-5 R-Sport start
from £ 27,700 and customers can order one now. UK deliveries are expected to
begin once the current retail restrictions come to an end.
In addition to the R-Sport, the updated
2020 Mazda MX-5 lineup includes 10 models in the UK: four Convertibles and six
RFs. The MX-5 Convertible can be had in SE-L and Sport trims with the 1.5-liter
engine or Sport Tech and GT Sport Tech trims with the 2.0-liter unit. The same
goes for the MX-5 RF, which adds the option of an automatic transmission for
the Sport Tech and GT Sport Tech trims powered by the 184 PS Skyactiv-G 2.0 engine.
