The Mazda MX-5, child prodigy of the Mazda family, is getting a few mild refreshments for the 2021 model-year, the company announced today. Here’s a rundown of the changes as well as the price structure for Canada.
It will now be possible, for starters, to access the Apple CarPlay app wirelessly. This is progress for the company that just a few years ago didn’t offer any compatibility with this app or with Android Auto for the MX-5.
The other “big” change involves the colour options. In 2021, The GS-P and GT trims will be available in Deep Crystal Blue. The latter can also be had with white Nappa leather.
Note as well that Mazda Canada will make available a limited quantity of the 100th anniversary Edition of the MX-5. This series pays tribute to the company’s founding in 1920, and the model comes solely in Snowflake White Pearl outside and with Garnet Red Nappa leather inside. Of course, there will be exclusive 100th Anniversary badging here and there both inside and out. This soft-top version of the MX-5 also gets a Dark Cherry cloth roof.
