2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Model Review

Drawing from the rich legacy of its predecessors, the latest MX-5 Miata balances performance, style, and advanced technology within its compact frame.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata continues to define the lightweight, fun-to-drive roadster for the new year. Let’s take a look at what makes the newest model a standout choice for enthusiasts and casual drivers alike while helping you decide which model is right for you.

Unveiling the Iconic Roadster

At its core, the MX-5 Miata remains true to the idea of offering a thrilling driving experience. Available in three distinct trim levels—Sport, Club, and Grand Touring—each version is powered by a peppy 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.

This powertrain, coupled with the rear-wheel drive and a standard six-speed manual transmission, ensures every drive is a joy ride.

Sport Trim: The Foundation of Fun

The Sport trim sets a high benchmark for vehicles in this class with features like 16-inch black alloy wheels, LED lighting, and a manual convertible top, emphasizing the Miata’s sporty appeal. Inside, the emphasis on driver engagement is clear, with keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration.

Club Trim: Elevated Performance

Step up to the Club, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata becomes even more sporty with 17-inch black alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, and a limited-slip differential, sharpening its handling capabilities. Exterior upgrades include a black front lip and rear spoiler, with the interior benefiting from heated seats and a premium Bose audio system. An exclusive Brembo/BBS Recaro package really helps this model reach its sports status.

Grand Touring: Luxurious Comfort

The Grand Touring trim is the new definition of luxury, building upon the Club’s features minus the spoilers for a more refined appearance. Additions like adaptive headlights, automatic climate control, and leather upholstery take the driving experience to a new level.

Technology and Safety

Across all trims, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata embraces technology and safety with open arms. From the intuitive infotainment system to advanced driver-assistance features like forward collision mitigation and blind-spot warning, the Miata is as smart as it is fun. The Grand Touring’s road sign assistance feature really shows Mazda’s commitment to useful technology built to keep you safe.

This roadster offers a perfect number of model options to give every driver something they need.
