The all-new Mazda MX-5 made its European auto show debut in October at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. First unveiled at Mazda Space, Mazda's new European event hub in Barcelona, the fourth-generation MX-5, as expected, gave another boost to the unconventional Japanese brand, which is currently riding a wave of success.

In terms of design, the latest edition of the best-selling roadster in history is arguably the sportiest ever. The striking rendition of Mazda's KODO - Soul of Motion design theme is full of life, expressing the car's agility and the exciting experience that awaits behind the wheel. In keeping with MX-5 tradition, the cabin is snug yet comfortable. Only now it features modern conveniences like the MZD Connect smartphone connectivity system and i-ACTIVSENSE, Mazda's innovative line-up of active safety technology.

And what its looks promise, the technology can deliver. Under the bonnet, high-compression SKYACTIV-G petrol engines drive the rear wheels, while the specially-developed SKYACTIV-Chassis ensures the most advanced Jinba Ittai driver-and-car-as-one experience yet. But at the same time the all-new MX-5 retains the charm, reliability, affordability and above all lightweight fun of the original model launched 25 years ago.
