Compact, responsive, and incredibly powerful, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a sporty roadster that is ready to give you the adrenaline rush you’re looking for while cruising down the highway and going on exciting road trips. Here are three of the most exciting features that will make you want to hit the road and explore the new MX-5 Miata today.

1. Its Responsive and Powerful Engine

Available in three different grades, the 2024 MX-5 Miata is powered by a 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder powertrain that pumps 181 horsepower and delivers all the responsiveness you need to drive on challenging tracks and winding country roads. Paired to a six-speed manual transmission with short-throw shifter, this roadster helps you merge and overtake effortlessly. Grand Touring models offer an optional fast-shifting six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Rear-wheel drive is standard across the entire lineup of the new MX-5 Miata, which also stands out as a thrifty and efficient sports car. Models equipped with the base six-speed manual transmission achieve EPA estimates of 26 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, while those featuring the automatic unit are rated at 26 mpg and 35 mpg, respectively.

2. A Sporty and Handsomely Equipped Interior

While the MX-5 Miata stands out wherever it goes thanks to its unique style, its passenger cabin is just as impressive. Some of the standard features that can be found in all three models include push button start, a 12-volt power outlet, leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, stylish accents, and integrated headrests. This small roadster has seating capacity for two, offering 43.1 inches of legroom.

The Club and Grand Touring trim levels of the 2024 MX-5 Miata combine all these standard features with a few extra perks that make them even more stylish and comfortable. Some of these additional features include heated seats with three heat settings and a body-colored upper door trim. Leather-trimmed seats and black doorsill trim plates with stainless-steel inserts are found exclusively on Grand Touring models.

3. Cutting-Edge Infotainment Systems

Another characteristic that makes the 2024 MX-5 Miata a fantastic vehicle to go on long road trips is its intuitive and modern infotainment system, which includes an 8.8-inch full-color infotainment display with voice commands, HD radio, Pandora internet radio integration, Bluetooth audio streaming, and USB-C audio inputs. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa compatibility is standard across the board.
