Named after “The way of the Sword”, which is said to be a form of modern Japanese martial art, the MX-5 Kendo is the latest special edition model to be released by Mazda to celebrate the 900,000 units produced since the introduction of the first MX-5 in 1989. The MX-5 Kendo has been created for the UK market and will be available from March 1 in two forms, the MX-5 1.8i Kendo soft-top priced at £19,255 and the more powerful MX-5 2.0i Kendo roadster coupe with a £22,320 price tag.
Both variants are based on the local-market SE derivatives and feature a unique Stone Leather interior with matching colored stitching on the steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, bespoke 17-inch alloy wheels, exterior badging and floor mats, plus front fog lamps, heated seats, brushed aluminium style-bar trim and aluminium pedals.
In addition, the Kendo Roadster Coupe comes with three extra items of equipment, including a premium BOSE audio system, Bluetooth hands-free and cruise control. Both Kendo models offer a choice of Sparkling Black or Dolphin Grey mica paint finish – free of charge.
