2016 Mazda MX-5 begins US production. How much will it cost?

Th 2016 Mazda MX-5 will  have three different price  points, depending on trim level. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 just began production and will hit US dealers—and the first lucky buyers—later this summer.

While we’re still waiting for our U.S.-spec configurator, we now know exactly how much each trim level of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 will cost to start, as well as the features that come with each.

At $25,735 (including the $820 destination charge), the MX-5 Sport is the most affordable of the ND’s offerings, and it packs more features than ever before, including: Bluetooth phone and audio; LED headlights and tail lights; cruise control; 16-inch wheels; a six-speed manual transmission; USB input; and more. An automatic transmission is available as a $1,075 extra. Keyless entry can be added for $130 (but are included with the automatic).

The MX-5 Club, launched at the 2015 New York Auto Show, starts from $29,220 (including the $820 destination charge), and promises a sportier but also more luxurious configuration, with Mazda Connection seven-inch touchscreen-based infotainment; nine-speaker Bose audio; 17-inch gunmetal alloy wheels; front and rear aerodynamic upgrades; and, for manual-transmission cars, a limited-slip rear differential, Bilstein shocks, and front brace.

The MX-5 Grand Touring takes the luxury up a notch, adding leather-trimmed heated seats, Brembo front brakes, and functional aerodynamic upgrades to the side skirts are rear bumper.

At prices like these, the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ will certainly have to take notice--especially with the MX-5 weighing in nearly 400 pounds lighter than the Febreze twins.

What is the Monitor difference? Tackling the tough headlines – with humanity. Listening to sources – with respect. Seeing the story that others are missing by reporting what so often gets overlooked: the values that connect us. That’s Monitor reporting – news that changes how you see the world.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
