On the other hand, figures of the 1.5L engine are kept a mystery at the moment. As the best speculations may go, the engine may be good for 129 HP and 150 Nm and reach a top speed of 127 mph.

To qualify the Euro 6D Temperature emission regulations and the WLTP/RDE test cycle, Mazda surely has worked hard on their SkyActiv-G duo. Also by letting the delaying time after the driver applies the throttle, the Mazda MX-5 2019 will definitely take less time to accelerate from rest.

Safety features are one of the attention drawers. We won’t find it hard to name some such as a rearview camera, driver attention alert or traffic sign recognition. Additionally, it comes with advanced Smart City Brake Support to steer away from collisions and detecting objects ahead. To detect objects from behind, the car is backed by the Smart City Brake Support (Reverse).

Finally, changes come from a darker paint finish applied to the 16 and 17-inch wheels.
