Mazda unveiled the highly anticipated 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata on January 24, 2025, during the Rolex 24 at Daytona, one of the most iconic motorsport events in the world. This official introduction set the stage for the latest evolution of Mazda’s beloved roadster, blending fresh updates with its timeless design and legendary driving experience.
What’s New for 2025?
Mazda has introduced a series of exciting updates to the 2025 MX-5 Miata, designed to enhance its performance, technology, and overall appeal. Key highlights include:
- Enhanced Kinematic Posture Control (KPC): First introduced in previous models, the KPC system now offers even more refined handling. By applying brake-based torque vectoring, it reduces body roll and improves cornering stability, delivering a sharper and more responsive driving experience.
- Updated Styling: The 2025 MX-5 features subtle design tweaks, including the addition of new paint options like Zircon Sand and stylish two-tone wheels. These updates keep the Miata’s look fresh while maintaining its iconic silhouette.
- Upgraded Infotainment: Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are now standard across all trims, ensuring seamless connectivity for drivers and passengers.
- New Trim Level: Club Plus: A new “Club Plus” trim joins the lineup, offering performance-oriented upgrades like Brembo brakes and Recaro seats. Positioned between the Club and Grand Touring trims, it delivers a balance of premium features and sporty enhancements at an appealing price point.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 MX-5 retains its 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine, producing 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Drivers can choose between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, both optimized for Mazda’s signature “fun-to-drive” philosophy. With its lightweight construction and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the MX-5 continues to shine as a pure driver’s car, perfect for the track or a scenic weekend drive.
Pricing and Trims
Mazda offers the 2025 MX-5 in four trims, catering to a variety of preferences:
- Sport: Starting at $28,500, this base model delivers the essential Miata experience.
- Club: Priced from $32,000, it adds performance-focused upgrades like a limited-slip differential and sport-tuned suspension.
- Club Plus: A new addition for 2025, this trim starts at $35,500 and offers a mix of premium features and performance enhancements.
- Grand Touring: Starting at $37,000, this top-tier trim includes luxurious touches like leather seating, navigation, and adaptive LED headlights.
Safety and Technology
Safety is a priority in the 2025 MX-5, which comes equipped with Mazda’s i-Activsense® suite of driver assistance features. These include:
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Lane departure warning
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Smart City Brake Support
These systems make the MX-5 a safer choice for everyday driving without compromising its dynamic nature.
Why the 2025 Miata MX-5 Stands Out
The 2025 MX-5 Miata reaffirms Mazda’s commitment to delivering an unmatched open-top driving experience. With its blend of updated performance features, modern technology, and enduring charm, the Miata continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. The addition of the Club Plus trim reflects Mazda’s focus on catering to a broad spectrum of drivers, from purists to those seeking luxury and performance in one package.
