After its preview at the Mazda Premium event last January, Mazda Philippines has finally released the pricing of its 2020 MX-5. The good news is that overall equipment is up compared to the 2019 model; bad news is that pricing is up considerably on all trims.
For 2020, the MX-5 will continue to exist in both soft-top and Retractable Fastback (RF) versions. The soft-top remains available with a choice between a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic, but the RF is sticking it out with a slush box.
Aesthetically, all 2020 variants look basically the same as their 2019 counterparts, except for the new font type used on their badging. For owners, the key design has also been changed to the same one used in the all-new Mazda3 and CX-30. Inside, there are minor detail changes such as chrome on the climate control dials.
At P 1.980-million, the base soft-top manual is barely changed with the exception of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which now come as standard equipment.
Moving to the P 2.190-million soft-top automatic adds cruise control, black leather seats with orange stitching, a 9-speaker Bose sound system, a reverse camera, and i-Activsense which adds Smart City Brake Support and Lane Departure Warning.
Polymetal Gray is also available as an additional color option from this variant upward.
For an additional P 75,000 more (P 2.265 million), owners can get Nappa leather on their seats along with a new caramel-colored soft-top.
The RF variants start at P 2.360-million, and basically carries the same features as the top-trim soft-top. Opting for the Nappa leather interior in the RF nudges the price up by P 50,000 (P 2.410-million), while lusting over the forged BBS wheels and Recaro racing seats in the Club Edition tops the list at P 2.690-million.
The MX-5 is now available for order at all authorized Mazda dealers nationwide.
