For months now we’ve been hearing rumors regarding the upcoming next-generation Mazda MX-5. And now Mazda has just announced that it will officially reveal the new MX-5 on September 3. What we can confirm is that it will take on more of a back-to-basics approach reminiscent of the first generation. That means it’ll be both smaller and lighter than the outgoing model. More than likely, power will come from a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder.
That means no turbocharging. There have been several renderings created over the past few months, but we’ll have to wait until early this fall for our first viewing. Stay tuned.
