Mazda has announced prices and UK specifications for the MX-5 facelift. The upgraded roadster goes on sale in April with prices starting at �16,345, �205 cheaper than the outgoing model.
The new Mazda MX-5 gets a new front and rear, and a lightly restyled interior. Power outputs from the 4 cylinder engines remain the same at 125bhp for the 1.8 litre and 158bhp for the 2.0 litre. The 2.0-litre cars start at �17,345.

The 2.0 litre has a higher rev limit, raised to 7500rpm, while peak power is generated at 7000rpm. Cars with the six-speed manual box come with what Mazda calls an Induction Sound Enhancer, designed to make the engine sound �more exciting.�
The real changes are under the skin, where the car has reworked chassis aimed at further tightening the MX-5�s handling. The roll centre (the point at which the car�s body begins to roll to the left or right) has been lowered to improve the car�s turn in.
There is also the option of a six-speed paddle-shift auto called Powershift with the 2.0 litre engine. CO2 outputs are down � from 174g/km to 167g/km in the 1.8 � and fuel consumption falls accordingly, with the 1.8i now returning 40.4mpg.
The folding hard-top Roadster Coupe now costs from �18,345 and gets a different grille to differentiate it from the roadster.
