In 2005, the release of the third generation of the sports convertible Mazda Roadster. For the Japanese market, the car was delivered with right-hand drive. The car received an updated design of the front and rear lights, the exhaust system was equipped with a second exhaust pipe. The Mazda Roadster Convertible was available with a fabric and metal roof. In 2015, the release of third-generation models was discontinued. Compared with the previous generation, the Mazda Roadster began to install more powerful gasoline two-liter engines with a capacity of 162, 166 and 170 horsepower, which replaced engines of 1.6 and 1.8 liters. Fuel consumption is 7.7 - 8.9 liters in the combined cycle. The engines comply with the Euro-4 environmental standard. The fuel tank volume increased to 50 liters.

 Instead of a four-speed automatic transmission, a Mazda Roadster began to install a six-speed automatic transmission. Five-and six-speed manual options were still available. Gear shifting is smooth, the controllability of the machine has been improved. The Mazda Roadster Convertible has been shod with new tires that increase traction. The maximum speed of the car is 210 km / h, with acceleration to hundreds in 7.9 seconds.

 All modifications were rear-wheel drive. Suspension - multi-link with stabilizers. Brakes - disc (front - ventilated).

 Compared with the previous generation convertible, the car has become a little longer - 3995 mm. Width and height increased to 1720 and 1245 mm. Wheelbase - 2330 mm. The increase in size is associated with the transition to a common platform with the Mazda RX-8. The dimensions of the cabin, designed to fit two people, remained unchanged.

 The main changes affected the weight of the convertible. The engine cylinder blocks were made of aluminum, and the intake manifold was made of carbon mass. 573 knots were lightened (almost everything except those responsible for the strength of the body), which allowed to reduce the total mass of the car by 43 kilograms. The heaviest elements were shifted closer to the longitudinal axis of the body to reduce the centrifugal forces acting on the Mazda Roadster convertible.

 The basic equipment included a power steering, xenon headlights, electric side mirrors, leather steering wheel braid, steering wheel height adjustment, power windows and anti-lock braking system (ABS). The interior has sports leather seats, climate control and a CD player. Glasses protect from ultraviolet rays. To protect the passenger and driver, front airbags are provided, and side airbags are optionally available. There are stiffeners in the doors. As an option, it was possible to order Traction Control System (TCS) and Stability Program (DSC). Other versions of the cabriolet featured front fog lights, an electrically folding hardtop, an engine start button, the ability to adjust seat height, electrically heated seats, active head restraints and an electronic stability control (ESP). An optional BOSE audio system was available. If necessary, you can disable all auxiliary systems, except anti-lock. Released several limited versions of the Mazda Roadster. Modified since 2013, the NR-A is distinguished by a sports suspension and the presence of a limited slip differential. On the convertible Mazda Roadster NR-A a soft roof was installed. In 2009 and 2014, in honor of the 20th and 25th anniversary of the model, they presented anniversary versions of the Mazda Roadster Anniversary.
