Tech lovers would be happy to know that the MX-5 RF’s Mazda Connect Infotainment display has been updated with conveniences like Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Mazda has also added a number of safety systems to the MX-5 RF’s i-Activesense safety features. So now the sports car boasts features like Blind-Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart City Brake Support, and Driver Attention Alert added on to the existing systems.
There is even Isofix mounts added to the passenger seat along with airbag cut-off function for more convenience.
Under the hood, the MX-5 RF is still powered by the Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre engine that produces 184 PS at 7,000 rpm and 205 Nm at 4,000 rpm. 2 transmissions are on offer a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters or a six-speed manual transmission.
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
