Unstoppable Design Features of the 2025 MX-5
The MX-5 line is known for smooth lines and sleek, sporty silhouette, and the 2025 MX-5 doesn’t disappoint on either count, embracing the dynamic fluidity of Japanese Kodo design and the beauty of animal motion, even while at rest. The 35th Anniversary Edition only builds on its complexity with such deluxe touches as a beige soft top, eye-catching 17-inch wheels, and the premium comfort of heated seats, making any outing behind its wheel anything but mundane.
Cutting Edge Technology On Board
More than just muscle, the 2025 MX-5 also offers a cutting-edge arrangement of tech toys sure to impress even the most discerning enthusiast, including a premium 9-speaker audio system from Bose, specifically tuned to deliver top-quality sound within the MX-5’s cabin–the only place you’ll want to listen to your favourite playlists from now on, thanks to the MX-5’s wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Also considered for the 2025 edition of the MX-5 is convenience and navigation, which drivers can take advantage of in the form of Alexa integration and a comprehensive navigation system paired to your onboard Mazda Connect Infotainment display.

What’s Special About the 2025 MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition?
It can’t be denied that the 2025 MX-5 is a pretty spectacular machine, so how could the 35th Anniversary Edition possibly make it even more outstanding?
Immediately noticeable is its striking exterior colour; that complex, seductive shade of red is Artisan Red Metallic, fourth in Mazda’s bespoke, three-layer Takuminuri process and wholly exclusive to the 2025 MX-5 Anniversary edition. Artisan Red Metallic is the star of the Anniversary edition’s aesthetic, appearing also on the rear spoiler, the interior trim around the AC vent, and around the upper door panel, highlighting its incredible colour-shift properties and showing how, much like the MX-5 and its drivers, this shade’s depth of character goes even further than initially meets the eye.
In contrast to its daring paint colour, the 35th Anniversary MX-5’s interior, floor mats, and soft top show a gentler side of this speed demon, using softer hues of beige and tan to inject a breath of fresh air. As expected of Mazda, the 35th Anniversary MX-5 displays a mastery of balance and craftsmanship inside and out, with fine finishing touches such as the 35th anniversary embossing on the headrests and serialized front fender badging as the cherry on top.
