Power and Performance

The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata features a SKYACTIV®-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive and a standard six-speed manual transmission create a direct link between your inputs and the car’s reaction, with short throws that create a fully engaging experience.

At under 2,500 lbs with near 50/50 balance, steering and acceleration in the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata are sharp and controlled. G-Vectoring Control Plus® works in the background to keep the chassis settled, but the feel stays natural.

Open-Air Driving Experience

A manual soft top is one of the defining features of the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata. One motion is all it takes to drop the roof and let in open air. Without the structure of a hardtop, the vehicle’s weight stays low and its responsiveness stays immaculate. Seating is low and centered, with available leather-trimmed surfaces, heated seats, and available RECARO® sport seats holding you in place through every corner.
