The facelifted Mazda MX-5 has been revealed ahead of its Paris show debut.

We’ve already seen the design plans for the MX-5, and this official image confirms that Mazda’s popular roadster will receive a mild facelift with the majority of alterations happening to the car’s front end.

Most noticeable are the new black fog light surrounds, which have become bigger and taken on a more angular shape to give the car a sharper, more aggressive appearance.

The grille has also grown in size and now dips to form a V-shape, rather than the rounded design on the current model. The headlights follow the same theme, taking on a different angle to match the fog light surrounds. A new front splitter design completes the new face.

The revisions don’t extend to new engines, so the current 1.8 and 2.0-litre range will remain when sales begin early next year.
