In the two-door convertible sports car, Mazda's MX-5 is definitely an evergreen model, with a stable performance in Asia, Europe and the United States. With its compact body, lightweight weight, naturally aspirated petrol engine and rear-wheel drive setting, the MX-5 offers full driving pleasure despite its ferocious performance. In the face of the trend of electrification, if the MX-5 is replaced by a more powerful pure electric power system, or even a four-wheel drive model, it will definitely allow this two-door convertible sports car to have the strength of not losing mainstream performance cars.
In the same class, the MX-5's global sales and popularity have performed well, and the head of Mazda's European product development and engineering department said that the MX-5 will still be the MX-5 in everyone's mind, after all, this is one of Mazda's signatures. At least at this point in time, the MX-5 will maintain the same size and the way the fuel engine is matched.
But Mazda also admitted that perhaps in the future, the MX-5 will still have to transform into an electric car, but they will still try to maintain the MX-5 in everyone's mind. This means that the MX-5 will not share the platform with other car series, so as to avoid losing the selling point of pure rear drive. At present, the current fourth-generation MX-5 has not yet been delisted, and the original factory has also said that it may not be so fast. Having a product life of more than 10 years is common for Mazda, and the MX-5 is not a mainstream model after all, and has a relatively unique position. The statement may imply that the fourth generation of the MX-5, released in 2014, will not be replaced until at least 2024. (Photo/Text: Pacific Auto Network Ke Kaiwen)
