Mr. Thee Permpongpanth, Senior Vice President of Mazda Sales (Thailand) co., Ltd. said, "Mazda MX-5 is the iconic sport roadster that has long been the pride of Mazda and customers around the world.

Today, Mazda is delighted to introduce the New Mazda MX-5 with the new exterior color, Zircon Sand, which is the color that is firstly introduced in Thailand. The Zircon Sand takes inspiration from nature or earthen color and it has been combined with the unique design of Mazda cars following Kodo design guidelines to enhance the sporty premium appearance of the New Mazda MX-5 while conveying a sense of relaxation and calm at the same time.

The New Mazda MX-5 is keeping its uniqueness as a fun-to-drive sport roadster and allowing driver's comfort at the same time with the design of Mazda's Jinba-Ittai concept, reflecting oneness between driver and car by using the human's natural walking position as frame while still keeping the sporty and elegance appearance. All of this is Mazda's determination to develop elegant and high performance vehicle, which are the uniqueness of Mazda.

The introduction of the New Mazda MX-5 with Zircon Sand exterior color, which is the new color launched in Thailand for the first time in this model, is the color that expresses the premium quality and has the same uniqueness as other Mazda signature colors presenting dynamic and natural beauty that created by the reflection of light on the vehicle. This striking, earthy tone is golden brown in some angles. When combined with the reflection of the blue sky, Zircon Sand can appear to have a hint of green like sunlight filtering through the trees. The subtle green glimmer is a nod to the calm of time spent in nature. This is the feeling that Mazda intends to convey to those who see it, which is in line with the intention of creating a car to become more than a vehicle, but being the power that creates happiness and vitality to all drivers.

In addition to the new exterior color, the New Mazda MX-5 maintains its unique character in terms of driving performance as the same as Mazda-MX-5's fourth generation with the Kinematic Posture Control (KPC). It is the latest technology developed under the Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics that provides a more integrated and stable turning posture when cornering by generating an "anti-lift" force at the inner rear wheel to pull the vehicle's body down when cornering. Therefore, it helps providing more comfort and safety.
