Bermaz Motor, the official distributor of Mazda vehicles in Malaysia unveiled the Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition today, marking a major milestone in the iconic roadster’s legacy. This limited-edition model celebrates over three decades of exceptional driving pleasure and timeless design excellence.
Since its debut in 1989, the Mazda MX-5 has consistently delivered an unmatched driving experience, embodying Mazda’s philosophy of Jinba-Ittai, the perfect fusion between driver and car. The MX-5 has undergone continuous evolution, refining its performance, technology, and design, while always staying true to its roots.
From the original first-generation NA to the advanced fourth-generation ND, each iteration has reaffirmed Mazda’s commitment to providing a pure, driver-focused experience.
Celebrating 35 Years of Mazda MX-5
Now, in honor of its 35th anniversary, Mazda introduces the MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition — a limited edition that blends classic design elements with modern advancements. With only a select number of units available in Malaysia, this special edition is designed to elevate both the aesthetic appeal and driving performance, making it a true collector’s item. Its premium design features, cutting-edge technology, and distinct presence make it a standout in the roadster segment.
The Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition pays tribute to over three decades of pure driving pleasure, known for its lightweight agility, dynamic handling, and timeless appeal. This edition enhances the thrill of driving, celebrating both the legacy and the future of the MX-5 series.
At the heart of the MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition is Mazda’s signature Kodo: Soul of Motion design language. This philosophy infuses dynamic energy and beauty into every curve and line. Even when stationary, the MX-5 emanates a sense of motion, with its sculpted body and aerodynamic form. The 35th Anniversary Edition is more than just a car; it is a symbol of Mazda’s relentless pursuit of automotive perfection, where each detail reflects the harmony of Jinba-Ittai.
Exclusive Artisan Red Premium Exterior
The 35th Anniversary Edition stands out with its exclusive Artisan Red Premium exterior color. This specially developed shade is the result of Mazda’s Takuminuri painting technique, a complex three-layer finish that enhances the car’s sculptural lines. The red hue radiates brilliance, with rich, deep tones that evoke both elegance and power.
This limited edition also includes a serialized 35th Anniversary badge on the rear fender, further emphasizing its exclusivity. The design is completed with body-colored outer rearview mirrors and 17-inch Bright Metallic alloy wheels, adding a touch of sophistication to its athletic form.
Exclusive Interior
Inside, the MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition embraces a refined Sports Tan interior. The dashboard, carpeting, and floor mats all feature a cohesive Tan finish, with the 35th Anniversary logo elegantly embroidered onto the mats.
The Tan leather seats are also embossed with the 35th Anniversary logo, adding an extra layer of exclusivity. To enhance the connection between interior and exterior, the Artisan Red Premium color is reflected in the trim accents, complementing the striking exterior.
Upgraded Features and Enhanced Performance
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 lineup sees numerous updates, including redesigned headlamps with a recessed circular low beam, giving the car a distinctive “eye-like” appearance. The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) add a touch of maturity, while the LED lamps improve visibility and durability. Additionally, the rear combination lamp features a concave lens, further enhancing the car’s unique look.
The updated meter cluster improves readability with a darker dial face and new pointer shapes. The inclusion of a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror adds to the car’s sleek, modern feel. For superior connectivity, the new 8.8-inch infotainment system features voice recognition, a USB-C charging port, and a high-definition reverse camera.
Safety Enhancements
Mazda’s commitment to safety continues with the addition of the Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system in the 2025 MX-5, enhancing driver awareness. The 2025 Mazda MX-5 2.0L now also comes with DSC-TRACK (Driving Stability Control Track Mode) and an Asymmetric LSD (Limited Slip Differential), which optimize traction and vehicle stability during spirited driving.
The updated Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system offers more precise handling by reducing friction on the steering rack by 5%, resulting in smoother and more responsive steering.
