Mazda has released pictures of its fourth-generation MX-5, which will go on sale in Europe next year.
It uses the Japanese car maker’s Skyactiv technology in both the engines and the chassis – it is first rear-wheel drive Mazda to utilise it, which also helps keep the weight down; it is 100kg lighter than the outgoing model.
Mazda hasn’t confirmed the pricing or line up, but expect the car to go on sale with two Skyactiv engines – a 1.5-litre petrol with a power output of 130hp and a 2.0-litre petrol unit with 165hp.
The new MX-5 is expected cost from around £20,000 – a premium of around £1500 on the current entry-level model
