The updated 2024 Mazda MX-5 lineup has hit Australia, with prices up by $150 since the original launch announcement last October.
A total of nine variants will be offered across Roadster and RF body styles, with prices starting from $41,520 before on-road costs for the MX-5 Roadster and $46,250 before on-roads for the MX-5 RF.
Touted as “the most exhilarating MX-5 driving experience yet”, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 is headlined by a new DSC-TRACK stability control mode for circuit driving, a newly developed Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential, and a new 8.8-inch Mazda Connect infotainment system that will also debut Mazda Connected Services in Australia.
For the full rundown of what’s new, read our previous coverage here.
Pricing for the facelifted MX-5 is around $2000-$2500 compared to the outgoing range, and already has been subjected to minor price increases since the original announcement (by about $150).
