Everybody’s favorite little roadster is receiving a few new options for the 2018 model year. The current Brembo/BBS package for the Mazda MX-5 Club trim was already nice, but now you’ll have the option of ticking the box on a Brembo/BBS Recaro package. This nets you some heated Recaro sport seats in addition to the previously available Brembo brakes and BBS wheels. It’s only available with the six-speed manual and will cost $4,470 versus the $3,770 Brembo/BBS package sans Recaros.

The base MX-5 Sport also gets a 7-inch infotainment system as standard equipment

The base MX-5 Sport also gains a 7-inch infotainment system as standard equipment for 2018…along with a slight price increase of $395 over the 2017 model – not bad considering you had to step up to the Club trim at $29,675 to get the same infotainment system before.

New colors are out there for 2018 as well, including a sweet looking maroon-colored rag top. If you were a fan of the RF-exclusive Machine Gray paint, then you’ll be happy to learn it’s available for the soft top now too, shown up above.

You’ll start to see 2018 models roll into dealers in January – just in time for the greater north to be totally covered in snow.
