The biggest highlight on the Mazda MX-5 RF lies in the Retractable Fastback (RF) hardtop system that can be fully opened or closed by electricity in about 13 seconds. When the roof is lowered, the model switches to the Targa style with a B-pillar and rear glass still preserved, creating a distinctive sporty style.
Compared to the convertible version, the design of MX-5 RF brings a harder feeling but still retains the characteristics of the two-seater convertible car line. This is also one of the factors that helps the model receive much attention in markets around the world.
Mazda MX-5 RF uses a 6-speed automatic transmission, combined with a 2.0L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder in-line gasoline engine. This engine block produces a maximum power of 181 horsepower and a maximum torque of 205 Nm.
Power is transmitted to the rear axle - a configuration that is a specialty of the MX-5 line, helping to bring a sporty driving feeling and good control when operating.
In addition to operating capabilities, Mazda MX-5 RF is also equipped with many driver assistance technologies such as reversing cameras, rear parking assist sensors, cruise control system, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, lane misalignment warning, front and rear active braking assist, and driver distraction warning system.
Born with the goal of combining the driving experience of a traditional roadster model with the convenience of a hardtop, Mazda MX-5 RF continues to be one of the most prominent variations of the world's best-selling convertible sports car line.
