2025 Mazda MX-5: Pricing and Specs for the Roadster Revealed
December 13 2024,
Mazda Canada has released pricing and packaging details for the 2025 Mazda MX-5, further establishing its reputation as a lightweight, high-performance roadster. Offering precise handling, modern technology, and an engaging driving experience, the MX-5 stands out as a top choice for enthusiasts.
Performance and Engineering
The 2025 MX-5's heart is the 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G engine, which delivers 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission (standard) or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters (available on higher trims), which provides thrilling acceleration and razor-sharp response.
Mazda’s Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) system enhances cornering by applying slight braking to the inner rear wheel during high-g turns. This feature minimizes body roll and improves handling precision, making the MX-5 feel like an extension of the driver’s body.
