2013 Mazda MX-5 Facelift on sale next week

The mildly revised 2013 Mazda MX-5 – with a new nose and some minor tweaks – goes on sale in the UK on 1st December. Perhaps the only really noticeable bit of the ‘upgrade’ for the MX-5 is a tweaked nose with a slightly bolder front bumper, but there are other changes too. The seven model MX-5 lineup for 2013 sees the arrival of the 2.0-litre MX-5 Sport Tech Nav models – yes, you guessed it, they get SatNav – and the bonnet gets an active bonnet system to pop up if you happen to scoop up a passing pedestrian, mitigating injuries.

The new CR-V, which goes on UK sale on October 1 from around £18k, is typically Honda in hiding its extensive overhaul under a similar-looking suit. The CR-V is lighter, stiffer, more spacious yet no bigger, more efficient and with a host of new features which drag it from the gadget dark ages. Loyal customers will be delighted; the casual punter probably won’t even spot it’s a new model.
