The All-New Mazda MX-5 RF - the hardtop sibling of the reigning World Car of The Year and World Car Design of the Year winner - lands in Australia on 1 February 2017.

Boasting exotic looks and the roadster's hallmark engaging driving experience, the two-model Mazda MX-5 RF line up - RF and RF GT - starts from $38,550*.

Specification levels are impressive. As well as the Retractable Fastback roof, the Mazda MX-5 RF also gains a 4.6-inch full-colour TFT display, LED headlights (with Adaptive Front Lighting) as well as a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear-lever.

Beautiful in its design, the retractable hard top can be opened and closed at speeds up to 10km/h, with a simple touch of a button.

RF GT models receive additional luxuries such as a nine-speaker BOSE audio system with integrated headrest speakers, as well as LED tail-lights and heated seats.

The RF range tops out with a GT model alternative that has a black painted roof and premium Nappa leather interior trim.

A new exterior paint colour is also now available - Machine Grey Metallic which substitutes for the MX-5 soft top's Meteor Grey Mica.

The Mazda MX-5 RF is exclusively powered by the 118kW/200Nm SKYACTIV 2.0-litre engine driving the rear wheels via the SKYACTIV six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Customers can now place orders for the All-New Mazda MX-5 RF with their local Mazda dealer.
