Every car in the Mazda lineup has a unique design that uses Mazda's "Soul of Motion" philosophy. To start the design process, artisans shape a block of clay until a form is established before turning to digital modelers to collaborate and create a unique design. The color designer and master painter then join forces to produce a finish and color fit for such breathtaking designs. The Mazda MX-5 Miata was carefully sculpted to showcase Mazda's dedication to delivering a vehicle with outstanding performance and captivating design.

Buyers can choose between seven different color options available for the MX-5 Miata, including Arctic White, Ceramic Metallic, Eternal Blue Mica, Jet Black Mica, Machine Gray Metallic, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, and Snowflake White Pearl Mica. Two soft-top color options, classic black or the new brown, are also available to choose from.   The MX-5 features signature round taillights and available Daytime Running Lights that have been angled outward to enhance the vehicle's sporty design. A sharply sloped hood guarantees maximum visibility for drivers, while the shape of the front fenders provides an accurate visual of where the front tires are positioned.  

The MX-5 underwent a serious redesign to eliminate weight while increasing power. Lighter pistons and connecting rods were used along with larger throttle-body openings and a more efficient exhaust system.   To balance fuel efficiency and performance, Mazda engineers developed SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY to enhance driving dynamics. The SKYACTIV-G 2.0L gasoline engine generates 181 horsepower compared to the previous 155 horsepower of previous models.   Two different transmission options are available to choose from. A SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission ensures the vehicle runs smoothly with advanced precision and responsiveness, while a SKYACTIV-MT 6-speed manual transmission is available for anyone who loves the feel of a manual.

The interior of the MX-5 was meticulously designed using countless sketches and revisions to provide maximum comfort for drivers and passengers. User-friendly tech can be found throughout the cabin, most notably in the standard Mazda Connect infotainment system with easy-to-reach controls that features a 7-inch touch screen, two USB ports, a six-speaker audio system, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Mazda's suite of available driver-assistance features includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, low-speed automated emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and traffic-sign recognition.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata has a starting MSRP of $25,730.
