The MX-5 exterior remains approachable and fun, but incorporates modern styling cues to communicate both the simple functionality of a modern lightweight sports car and the athletic solidity of a true sports car.

Roadster Coupe power retractable hard-top has smooth aerodynamic lines from bonnet to boot, this creates the appearance of a lower, more powerful vehicle.

Fender arches are notably more pronounced to accommodate the substantially wider wheel track dimensions and to provide a more athletic stance consistent with new Mazda design DNA. The wide shoulder area of the body tapers to a narrower sill to lend a light-on-its-feet look.

In profile, MX-5 continues the low, flowing shoulder line established by the original.

Side surfaces just below the shoulder create prominent highlights between the wheels, resembling taut skin stretched over toned muscle.
