Introducing the 2022 Mazda MX-5
Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) improves the MX-5’s already outstanding road holding
The iconic Mazda MX-5 now features Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) to improve the MX-5’s already outstanding road holding. Additionally, a sports performance MX-5 Roadster GT model with six-speed manual transmission has been added to the model range.
The MX-5 Roadster GT model features Bilstein Sports Suspension Dampers, Brembo Front Brakes with RedCallipers, Front Suspension Tower Brace Bar as well as eye-catching 17-inch Gunmetal BBS Forged Alloy Wheels with 205/45 Tyres to complete the package.
After more than three decades, the Mazda MX-5’s direct response, ultra-crisp shifting and perfectly balanced front-engine, rear wheel drive layout and snug interior that puts the driver at one with the car has been further enhanced.
To enhance the Jinba Ittai connection, Mazda has addedKinematic Posture Control (KPC), a new technology developed exclusively for the MX-5. The system recognises a difference in speeds between the back wheels while cornering, lightly applying the brakes on the inner wheel. This prevents lift, enhancing the characteristics of the MX-5’s rear multi-link suspension and supressingbody roll.
In short, KPC stabilises the car, especially during hard cornering with high G-forces and on rough roads, making the MX-5’s already legendary handling that much better while also improving comfort. KPC, which adds no weight whatsoever to the car, will be standard equipment on all 2022 MX-5 Roadster soft-top and the retractable fastback, RF models.
A new Platinum Quartz Metallic exterior colour –which unites an elegant silky white with quartz-like translucency has also been added to the range.
The MX-5 also has an extensive Mazdacare aftersales programme which further enhances the ownership experience by providing a 5-year warranty and 5-year Mazda On-Call Roadside Assistance. While the 3 year/100,000km (whichever comes first) Genuine Mazda Scheduled Servicing at no extra cost provides further peace of mind.
Mazda will also be funding five native NZ trees for every new Mazda model sold in conjunction with Trees That Count. Native trees not only sequester CO2 from the atmosphere, but they also provide thriving habitats for native birds, improve water quality in water ways, and provide beautiful places for future generations to explore. Every native tree planted in NZhelps to restore and enhance our environment, for biodiversity, for climate change.
