2025 Mazda MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition Debuts With 230 Units for Canada
Mazda introduced the 2025 MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition last Friday ahead of the 62nd running of the 24 Hours at Daytona in Florida.
Sporting upscale touches in a nod to the CX-90 three-row crossover, the car features dark Artisan Red Metallic paintwork, which is Mazda's fourth addition to its bespoke Takuminuri paint process that produces the three-layer finish, along with a beige soft top (no hardtop, here) and 17-inch wheels in a bright finish.

An available colour-matched rear spoiler and serialized badging on the front fender round out the exterior changes.
Inside, look for matching tan carpeting and floor mats, plus tan Nappa leather seating. A 35th Anniversary logo is embossed on the headrests. Meanwhile, the trim around the A/C vents and upper door panel is colour-matched to the exterior.
The MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition is based on the top-line GT model and includes heated seats, Bose audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Alexa Built-in and a navigation system paired to an 8.8-inch infotainment display.
Now, what about performance? An asymmetric limited-slip differential, shock tower bracing and sport-tuned Bilstein dampers will make sure to enhance the little roadster’s handling. The only transmission you can have is the six-speed manual.
Mazda said that only 230 units of the 2025 MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition will be available in Canada, which is proportionally way more than the 300 units allocated to the U.S. market. Canadian pricing starts at $43,700 (plus $1,995 freight and PDI), or $1,500 above the MX-5 GT. If you want one, don’t waste your time.
