Bermaz Motor Sdn Bhd, the authorised distributor of Mazda vehicles in Malaysia has announced the arrival of the updated 2019-2020 MX5-RF in Malaysia.

Available in two variants (MX-5 RF 2.0L M/T and MX-5 RF 2.0L A/T), the roadster is priced at RM 259,154 and RM 260,354 (otr without insurance) respectively.

The big news is of course, the updated 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated SkyActiv-G four-cylinder petrol engine which produces 184 PS and 205 Nm of torque, which is a 24 PS and 5 Nm bump from before.

Plus, the engineers at Mazda have also ensured that there is a richer torque curve throughout the entire rev range.

The engine is paired to a choice of either a SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic gearbox, or a 6-speed manual transmission.

The power retractable roof opens and closes the press of a button while moving at speeds of up to 10km/h.
