Performance Features
The new Miata uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-pot engine under its hood. It delivers 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque and, due to its lightweight, propels to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds. The new model does a quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds and has a top speed of 140 mph. With an eye for performance, drivers will enjoy the 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to a rear-wheel-drive system. If you prefer the automatic transmission, it also assures you of a refined ride and an enjoyable driving experience as you cruise to town. The Kinematic Posture Control is a new feature in the Mazda Miata. It improves handling, especially when cornering since the inner rear wheel reduces the turning radius and body roll. It complements the limited-slip differential and has no impact on the Miata's weight since it is software-based.
Fuel Economy
Due to its small size and naturally aspirated engine, the new Mazda Miata MX-5 RF returns an excellent economy rating. The 2.0-liter returns 26 mpg on city driving and 35 mpg on the highway when paired to an automatic transmission. Manual models will return 26 mpg in city driving and 34 mpg on the highway.
Exterior Features
The Miata MX-5 RF draws its name from its Retractable Fastback, which is available in a soft top and hard top format. The Miata is a regular coupe when the roof is up; however, the model becomes an iconic convertible once you lower the retractable roof. It has LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights. Additionally, it has an adaptive front lighting system in the Grand Touring model that turns the lights in the direction of your steering. Exterior features include 17-inch alloy wheels, Quasi-dual stainless-steel exhausts, and a rear spoiler. The new Miata MX-5 weighs 2,496 pounds and has a wheelbase of 90.9 inches and a ground clearance of 5.3 inches. It has a length of 154.1 inches, a width of 68.3 inches, and 49 inches.
Interior Features
Despite being a two-seater, the MX-5 has a luxurious interior with ample legroom. It has a 36.8-inch headroom, 52.2-inch shoulder space, and 43.1-inch legroom. You will have 4.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, enough to accommodate a few bags as you head for a trip to town. The 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat lets you sit comfortably and adjust legroom. It also has leather upholstery, automatic air conditioning, a sports leather steering wheel, a remote keyless entry, and a leatherette instrument panel insert.

The Mazda Connect 7-inch touchscreen is easy to operate and supports several features.
