2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Price Release Date
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata starting price likely at $25,500 and avaibility in the market in middle of 2015.
Starting front end, new look designed Miata include sharp, compact headlamp houses that require the use of compact LED lights and daytime running lights. The fascia has been updated to include elements of the car's new design language.
However, where most of the Mazdas moving away from silly smile last generation, which makes the Miata-pentagonal vague "smile" of the third generation intact. This is partly because the Miata is unique in the Mazda lineup and partly because Mazda pays homage to all sorts of previous generation Miata roadster throughout this small canvas. For example, the side and the door has been kept largely without a crease in an attempt to evoke the simple design of the first generation, and the front fenders and rear arch muscle echo those of the second generation.
The new roadster is wider and lower than the previous model, a fact emphasized by the hood, which dips into the ground at the very front end and windshield washers, which Mazda says will always be painted black to emphasize the low profile -slung.
In hindsight, this Miata tail rises above the wheel before tapering inwards and upwards to help with aerodynamics. The back, perhaps, the most awkward bits Miata design, with a teardrop-shaped LED tail lamps. (I do not think I'm the only one to see a bit of the Jaguar F-Type in their design.) Maybe we will grow to love them; trip will probably good enough that we would not care.
The cabin has been updated with what Mazda called a "more aspirational" design in an attempt to move the Miata upscale and appealing to a wider audience. However, Mazda careful to emphasize that he is also working hard to not alienate purists and enthusiasts who want to keep a simple Miata.
One of the first things I noticed when peek at the dashboard is a 7-inch touchscreen sits front and center at the top of the center stack, immediately followed by a physical rotary controller on the center console. I can not fire it up and try it, and Mazda, once again, do not want to comment on the choice, but the automaker let slip that the technology would be equivalent to what we have seen in the new Mazda3.
That means the available navigation, Mazda Connect application integration, Bluetooth, HD Radio, and many more. But because Mazda did not speak packaging or trim level, I have no way to confirm my suspicion that the Miata will also be available without a screen and gadgets.
As I said earlier, these days it's all about uncovering new look Miata, so all of our speculation about the engine, turbocharger possibilities, and questions about the performance and price to meet with company number "we do not talk about it now. 'As far as performance goes, all I can confirm is that both examples present in expressing equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and a small switch to Sport mode switch.
