Mazda has confirmed it will offer a handful of special models in celebration of its 100th birthday.
The models, set to be offered across each passenger car line including the new CX-30 and MX-5 sports car, have a design inspired by Mazda’s first passenger vehicle, the 1960 R360 Coupe.
All 100th Anniversary Edition models will feature Snowflake White Pearl exterior paint, the 100th Anniversary exterior badge, anniversary wheel caps, burgundy leather seat trim with anniversary headrest logo, red floor carpet and floor mats. Also included is anniversary aluminium branding, an anniversary key fob, special edition lower instrument panel trim and white door trim inserts.
The new BT-50 isn’t on the list, nor is the outgoing model. Sorry, ute lovers.
