When you order your new Mazda MX-5 RF at Brayley Mazda, you’ll have access to regular updates about its production, as your specific MX-5 RF is manufactured just for you. Your updates will allow you to see when your MX-5 RF is scheduled to be produced, when it’s in production, when it ships from the Mazda factory in Japan, when it undergoes final quality testing in the UK and when it’s sent to us here at Brayleys. Then we can arrange with you a definite date for you to come into our dealership to collect your very own reimagined roadster, and we can show you round all the features of your beautiful new car. It’s all part of our Brayleys service and it’s all part of making it personal, when you order your new Mazda MX-5 RF. Download the brochure.

Refined elegance

The MX-5 RF represents perhaps the perfect, open-top motoring compromise, with the electrically retractable fastback roof improving cabin refinement, both when it’s up and down, compared to the Roadster. It gives the cabin a sense of open-air freedom, while still being shielded from the elements. Its sharp design complements the MX-5’s subtle, yet dynamic Mazda KODO: Soul of Motion design and proportions perfectly, the sloping buttresses resulting in a teardrop shape that accentuates the MX-5’s sleek sports car silhouette. The Mazda MX-5 RF won the Auto Express Roadster of the Year Award in both 2017 and 2018..

The retractable hardtop consists of a front section, middle and rear roof sections, and a glass rear screen. When the top is lowered, the front and middle portions are stowed away, and the rear glass sits behind the seats, leaving the rear roof section in place for a unique targa-top look. The roof can be retracted on the move (up to 6mph) in just 12 seconds, and does so in a beautifully graceful motion.

Polished to perfection

The suspension and electric power steering settings of the new RF have been expertly tuned for the perfect ride and handling balance, and a sound-absorbing headliner in the front and middle roof panels combines with sound insulation around the rear wheel housings to deliver a significantly quieter cabin with the roof in place. A 5mm increase in roof height aside, the RF retains the same overall dimensions as the MX-5 convertible and, despite the sleek design, the MX-5 RF offers the same boot space as the soft-top model as well.

Powering the new Mazda MX-5 RF range

As with the Mazda MX-5 convertible, two SKYACTIV-G petrol engines are available for the RF, a 132PS 1.5-litre and a 184PS 2.0-litre. Both engines have recently been upgraded and comply with the latest requirements of the Euro 6d Temp emission regulations. Versions with the more powerful engine feature a limited-slip differential and new 17” wheels, while Sport Nav+ 2.0-litre models also have Bilstein dampers and a strut brace. The 2.0-litre engine offers an improved redline – up to 7,500rpm, as well as an increase in overall torque and peak torque. The Sport Nav+ Auto and the GT Sport Nav+ Auto both feature an automatic transmission.

Highlights of the 2019 Mazda MX-5 RF include:

• Telescopic steering adjustment
• Improved seat sliding operation
• Upgraded i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies
• Enhanced dynamic performance
• Cleaner and more powerful engine note

Colour with soul

Complementing the KODO: Soul of Motion bodywork design perfectly is the Soul Red and Machine Grey metallic paintwork. They both use Mazda’s unique TAKUMINURI paint process, which displays glossy depth and nuanced shading to intensify the contrasts between light and shadow within its high-density finish. The system uses a three-coat paint structure, consisting of colour, reflective and clear coats. It’s a high-quality finish that looks as if it was hand-painted by a master craftsman, and gives the impression that the RF’s body was sculpted from a solid block of steel.
