Mazda launches limited edition Mazda MX-5 Kizuna
Mazda has launched the limited edition Mazda MX-5 Kizuna, available in the UK from next month, with only 250 models being produced.
Based on the 1.5-litre 132ps Exclusive-Line Roadster, the Kizuna comes in Deep Crystal Blue or Machine Grey, with a premium blue fabric hood, Light Stone Nappa leather and 16-inch bright alloy wheels.
The Kizuna, which means ‘enduring bond’ in English, follows in the tradition of limited edition Mazda MX-5s. The Machine Grey will have 170 cars and the remaining 80 will be Deep Crystal Blue.
In addition to the Kizuna, the 2023 Mazda MX-5 line-up will feature the Prime-Line, Exclusive-Line and Homura trim levels.
Both the Roadster and Retractable Fastback RF models come with a choice of 1.5-litre 132ps and 184ps 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engines.
The 1.5-litre Roadster is available in Prime-Line and Exclusive-Line grade, while the 184ps 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G Roadster is matched to Exclusive-Line and range-topping Homura grades.
The Prime-Line RF is powered by the 1.5-litre engine, while Exclusive-Line models can be specified with either the 1.5 or 2.0-litre engine and the range-topping Homura is exclusively matched to the 184ps 2.0-litre engine. The 2.0-litre RFs in both trim levels come with the option to choose an automatic gearbox.
The updates for the 2023 Mazda MX-5 include the addition of the Zircon Sand paint color for the first time while Homura manual models will feature red Brembo front brake callipers.
