Mazda adds new features to RX-8

Mazda Motor Corporation has added fresh features to the four-door, four-seat rotary-powered Mazda RX-8 sports car for the Japanese market.


Standard equipment across the entire RX-8 range has been updated with popular features that provide added comfort and convenience. The updates include rain-sensing windshield wipers and Mazda's auto-light system (which switches the headlights on automatically according to ambient light conditions). Two additional exterior body colors, silver and gray, reflect the RX-8's high quality and accentuate its exceptional sports car styling.

Main features of the freshened Mazda RX-8
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers, auto-light system, water-repellent coating (on the front door windows and door mirrors) and Mazda's advanced keyless entry and engine start system now come as standard equipment on all model grades.
- The addition of two new body colors - Aluminum Metallic and Metropolitan Gray Mica - brings the available exterior range to seven colors.
- Revised model grade lineup (base model was renamed Type G).
- Audio-less specification standard for all model grades (to best match each driver's needs, the space for a head unit in the center panel is left open. The Audio-less spec allows for a variety of audio systems).
