About the Car
2024 Mazda MX-5 Roadster 1.5 Exclusive Line
The 2024 Mazda MX-5 sees Mazda’s
award-winning sports car receive an exterior design change for the
first time since the launch of the current generation MX-5 in 2015. The
subtle changes include a new LED headlight design that now incorporates
the daytime running lights, while the rear LED lights have also been
redesigned. A new Aero Grey paint colour has been added to the MX-5 line-up, as well.
The
eight-model range features four Roadster and four RF models and a
choice of Prime-Line, Exclusive-Line and Homura trim grades. Prime-Line
cars are powered by the 132ps 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine, while
Exclusive-Line can be chosen with either the 1.5-litre or the 184ps
2.0-litre Skyactiv-G engine. The range-topping Homura is exclusively
matched to the 184ps unit.
As
before 2.0-litre cars feature a front strut brace, limited slip
differential and Bilstein dampers as standard. However, the 2024 MX-5
features a new Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential - a cam mechanism
has been added to the conical clutch, which is lightweight, compact and
highly durable. The cam angle is set differently for the deceleration
and acceleration side, thereby achieving optimal limiting force of slip
during both actions. Strengthening the slip limiting force when the
unloaded rear wheel is lightened during cornering enhances stability,
moreover tuning the slip limiting force and optimising the set up for
the MX-5’s engine, suspension and tyre characteristics ensures the
purity of handling balance the MX-5 is famed for.
Drivers
will also notice upgrades to the cabin of the MX-5, as inside there’s a
new larger central 8.8-inch touch-screen multimedia display and an
updated instrument panel. The bigger central screen allows for clearer
navigation mapping, while the more advanced MZ Connect system helps user
functionality. Additionally, USB-C ports have been introduced, while as
before, the MX-5 has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. From
Exclusive-Line upwards, the 2024 Mazda MX-5
also has a new frameless rear-view mirror, but the interior retains the
same driver focused cabin and driving position. The range-topping
Homura grade now features Recaro seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara.
Over more than three decades and across four generations, the Mazda MX-5
has always been the benchmark pure lightweight sports car with driver
engagement at the centre of its appeal. This Jinba Ittai philosophy – of
driver and machine working in perfect harmony - is at the heart of
every Mazda, none more so than the Mazda MX-5. The 2024 Mazda MX-5
continues to deliver pure open-top driving pleasure while retaining its
core values of agility, lightweight and finely balanced handling.
On
Exclusive-Line and Homura models, the new Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC) track driving mode avoids intervention until a later parameter to
deliver a more dynamic, yet secure, drive experience with first-time
track drivers in mind. Continuing the MX-5’s fine-tuning, the response
of the accelerator has been improved to deliver a more accurate throttle
application, while the electric power steering has been adjusted and
steering rack friction reduced to deliver an even more natural and fluid
response. The aim was to further enhance the sense of oneness with the
car and connection with the road that the MX-5 has always been famed
for.
The
2024 Mazda MX-5 continues the winning formula that has seen more than
25,000 fourth-generation MX-5s sold in the UK since its launch in 2015.
Commenting on the 2024 Mazda MX-5, Mazda UK Managing Director Jeremy
Thomson said, “when it comes to driver engagement, the current
generation MX-5 has established itself as a benchmark sports car, and
with the 2024 Mazda MX-5 we continue to offer one of the most exciting
and satisfying to drive cars money can buy.”
Adding,
“Our engineers created a sports car that incorporates our
ground-breaking Skyactiv technology, modern safety and superb efficiency
with the driver focused enjoyment for which the MX-5 is loved. The MX-5
is Mazda’s brand icon and it embodies all that is great about our
products. Mazda’s unceasing commitment to refining the vehicle over its
30-year history is highlighted again with the subtle but focused
updates to the 2024 MX-5, which ensure this car continues to be an
affordable, engaging, world-class sports car”.
February
2024 marked 35 years since the first-generation Mazda MX-5 was revealed
at the 1989 Chicago Motor Show and to date 1,256,745 MX-5s have been
produced at Mazda’s Ujina plant in Hiroshima. With over 135,000 of these
being sold in the UK, the place the MX-5 holds in the hearts of UK
sports car fans is clear.
