Bermaz Motor proudly introduces the Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition in Malaysia—a stunning homage to 35 years of driving pleasure, lightweight agility, and timeless design. First launched in 1989, the MX-5 has since become a global icon, beloved for its unmatched driving dynamics and the philosophy of Jinba-Ittai—the harmony between driver and machine.

Across four generations, the MX-5 has evolved while remaining true to its soul. From the classic NA to the refined ND, each model celebrates Mazda’s commitment to delivering a pure, exhilarating driving experience. Now, the 35th Anniversary Edition marks a milestone that honors the past and sets the tone for the future.

Limited in availability and rich in craftsmanship, this exclusive model stands out with Mazda’s Artisan Red Premium finish—a deep, refined hue developed using the brand’s signature Takuminuri painting technique. The result is a paint that enhances every sculpted line of the MX-5 with rich contrast and brilliant depth.

Adding to its exclusivity, each unit bears a serialized 35th Anniversary Edition badge on the rear fender, accompanied by body-colored mirrors and 17-inch Bright Metallic alloy wheels that elevate its classic silhouette. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a Sports Tan theme with matching dashboard trim, carpet, and floor mats, each embroidered with the 35th Anniversary logo. The Tan leather seats carry the same emblem embossed on the headrests, while Artisan Red Premium accents tie the cabin to its exterior sophistication.

The 2025 MX-5 line-up brings more than just visual flair—it introduces meaningful performance and tech updates. The headlamps now feature a recessed circular low beam design for a more expressive, eye-like look. Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) offer a refined presence, and the updated rear combination lamps with a concave lens create a dynamic afterburner effect. Full LED lighting, a reworked rear bumper, and additional rear fog lights round out the visual enhancements.

Inside, drivers benefit from a redesigned meter cluster for better readability, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a new 8.8-inch infotainment system. With features like voice recognition, USB-C charging, and a high-definition reverse camera, the MX-5 balances its sporty heritage with modern convenience.

On the safety front, the addition of Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) via i-Activsense enhances situational awareness. For driving enthusiasts, the 2.0L manual transmission variant gets even more exciting with new tech like DSC-TRACK (Driving Stability Control Track Mode), which allows more spirited handling with minimal electronic interference. The Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential (LSD) further improves traction during both acceleration and deceleration, making every twist and turn more engaging.

Mazda has also refined the Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), reducing steering rack friction by 5% and updating control logic for smoother, more responsive handling. These enhancements underscore Mazda’s dedication to providing a natural and immersive driving experience.

The 2025 Mazda MX-5 RF, imported as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) unit from Japan, features the beloved Skyactiv-G 2.0L engine and is available in a range of colors including Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray, and the newly introduced Aero Gray—first seen on the Mazda2 and CX-3. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Artisan Red Premium, reserved exclusively for the 35th Anniversary Edition.

Bookings are now open, with prices starting at RM 293,000 for standard manual and automatic variants. The exclusive 35th Anniversary Edition is priced at RM 315,000 and includes Mazda’s 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty and 5-Year Free Maintenance—covering labor, parts, and lubricants for up to 100,000 km or five years.

The Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition will be showcased at the Bermaz Auto Showcase from April 10th to 13th, 2025, at the Oval Concourse in 1 Utama Shopping Centre. Visitors can explore the limited-edition roadster from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Adding a touch of excitement, a Mazda MX-5 Photo Contest will run concurrently, offering exclusive merchandise prizes at both the 1 Utama location and Sunway Carnival Mall in the northern region.

With a perfect blend of heritage, innovation, and style, the Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition is more than a car—it’s a celebration of passion, precision, and the enduring joy of driving.
