A Tour of the Exterior
The MX-5 Miata Sport serves as the lineup’s base model and comes in either Jet Black Mica or Soul Red Crystal Metallic. The Club and Grand Touring trims introduce dark blue, pearl, and gray options, while the special 35th Anniversary Edition is available exclusively in eye-catching Artisan Red Metallic. All models feature LED exterior lights, power side-view mirrors, cloth convertible tops, and aluminum-alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance tires.
The Grand Touring adds automatic on/off functions to the LED headlights, as well as an adaptive front-lighting system and High Beam Control. The Grand Touring and 35th Anniversary trims feature rain-sensing front wipers, auto-dimming driver’s-side exterior mirrors, and a tinted solar-control windshield.
Our Favorite Cabin Features
The base model’s seats are trimmed in plush black cloth, while the three-spoke steering wheel, shifter knob, and parking brake handle are all covered in classy leather. Higher trims replace the cloth upholstery with black leather or tan Nappa, and the top three trims boast three-stage heated front seats.
The MX-5 Miata Sport’s sound system consists of six speakers, while the other three trims upgrade to a Bose nine-speaker system with a subwoofer and built-in AudioPilot headrest speakers. Regardless of your preferred model, the MX-5 Miata’s audio system supports Bluetooth, AM/FM/HD radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa. Every 2025 Miata features an 8.8-inch infotainment screen with voice command, Mazda Connected Services, Multifunction Commander Control, and more.
Capable Engine Specs
All four trim levels in this year’s MX-5 Miata lineup house a two-liter DOHC SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder 16-valve engine with variable valve timing. With 181 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM, this compact ride packs a serious punch. The new Miata gets 34 MPG on the highway with its standard manual transmission, while the Grand Touring’s optional six-speed automatic transmission allows for 35 MPG on the highway.
The base model’s double-wishbone front suspension comes with monotube dampers and aluminum control arms, while the multi-link rear suspension includes its own monotube dampers and additional bearing supports. The top three trims feature Bilstein-brand dampers for increased durability.
Despite its exhilarating engine specs, the newest Mazda MX-5 Miata outclasses its rivals in every category, including fuel efficiency and cabin comfort. To test drive one of the best values in the sports-car class, stop by our dealership today here at John Lee Mazda in Panama City, FL.
