马自达一位高级工程师近日表示，下一代MX-5将搭载1.5升四缸自然进气引擎。而新款Miata车型仍将保持后轮驱动布局，但该车平台将重新开发并将采用整套创弛蓝天技术。这台SkyActiv-G 1.5升四缸引擎还将配备在马自达3上，其功率为74千瓦/100马力，扭矩150牛米。不过，新一代MX-5搭载的这台引擎功率将进一步提升，此外，车厂还考虑为其搭载更大的2.0升SkyActiv-G引擎。阿尔法罗密欧敞篷车也将共享这一平台（该车也将有马自达生产）。而下一代MX-5 Miata预计将采用椭圆形前格栅和升级版魂动设计语言。新车重量约为1000公斤，由于采用均质冲量压缩点火系统，燃油经济性将提升30%。全新MX-5 Miata将在明年发布。

 

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 getting naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter engine

A senior engineer within Mazda has allegedly announced the next-gen MX-5 will be offered with a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated engine.

 

Mazda's new Miata will keep the rear-wheel drive layout but the platform has been rethought from scratch and will benefit from a full suite of SkyActiv technologies. Power will come from a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated SkyActiv-G engine also offered in the Mazda3 where it puts out 100 HP (74 kW) and 150 Nm (110 lb-ft). However, for the new MX-5 it will be uprated in order to produce more power, while a larger 2.0-liter SkyActiv-G is also being considered.

 

Sharing platform with an Alfa Romeo roadster (which Mazda will produce), the next generation MX-5 Miata is expected to come with an oval front grille and an updated Kodo design language which will reminiscent the original model. The model is expected to tip the scales at around 2,204 lbs (1,000 kg) and will be approximately 30 percent more fuel efficient thanks to a homogeneous charge compression ignition system.
