To celebrate its continuing status as ‘Britain’s favourite sports car brand’ this winter, Mazda is introducing a pair of special edition ‘Niseko’ models, named after Japan’s most prestigious skiing resort. The Niseko Mazda MX5 can truly be described as an all-weather, all-year sports car with its climate control air-conditioning system.
Mazda latest edition of the world’s best selling roadster, the rear-wheel drive Mazda MX5 Niseko boasts unrivalled handling and driving dynamics, and represents extremely competitive value for money. Available from £17,995 on-the-road, the Niseko offers up to £2,000 worth of additional or exclusive extras over and above the equivalent standard models.
Both the 1.8i Niseko soft-top (126ps with a five-speed gearbox) and the £19,995 Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe 2.0i Niseko (160ps with a five-speed gearbox) are available in an exclusive new bespoke colour, Icy Blue Metallic, as well as Sunlight Silver Metallic – for no additional charge.
Special exterior features of the Mazda MX5 Niseko include: unique design 17-inch alloy wheels, unique body-colour finish for the style bar trims, front fog lamps, Chrome Pack (door handles and headlamp bezels, and surrounds for the side-repeaters, front grille and fog lamps) and special edition ‘Niseko’ badging on each front wing, plus a unique dark brown premium cloth for the fabric roof (soft-top only).
Inside, both the Niseko models feature unique dark brown heated leather seats with co-ordinated door trim and blue stitching, plus dark brown leather steering wheel, gearknob and handbrake. Climate control air conditioning ensures absolute comfort, whilst they are also equipped with a dark-silver dash panel, stainless-steel scuff plates and Niseko-branded luxury interior mats, with a suspension strut brace beneath the bonnet to further increase body rigidity and road-handling abilities and driving enjoyment.
As well as adding the special Niseko features, the generous standard equipment of the donor vehicles ensures that buyers can enjoy: driver’s seat height adjustment, electric windows, central locking, MP3-compatible radio/single CD player with six-speaker audio system, stainless-steel scuff plates, twin chrome exhaust tail pipes and a Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobiliser.
Mazda MX5 Niseko owners will also enjoy a degree of exclusivity as production of this latest model will be restricted. Just 240 examples of the Mazda MX5 1.8i Niseko soft-top and 560 units of the Mazda MX5 Roadster Coupe 2.0i Niseko will be made available in the UK.
Despite all of the additional specification, both Mazda MX-5 Niseko special editions remain in the same insurance groups as their standard counterparts – 11E (1.8i) and 13E (2.0i).
