Visual Refresh And Color Options

1. A Visual Makeover and New Color Options: The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata has a new look that includes new wheel designs and LED headlights and taillights. Aero Grey, a new color choice, is available for an extra $450. These modifications give the appearance a modern and attractive look.

Interior Upgrades And Options

The interior receives notable upgrades, including a tan Nappa leather upholstery option for an extra $300 on the Grand Touring trim level. The cabin enhancements extend to a more clearly marked gauge cluster and a larger 8.8-inch infotainment screen. Mazda also mentions the addition of padding on the center console for improved comfort.

Mechanical Enhancements

The 2.0-liter inline-four engine of the 2024 MX-5 Miata produces 181 horsepower. It is coupled with rear-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox. A new steering rack and updated software calibration for the electric assist steering are included mechanically. With the addition of a “Asymmetric LSD,” the limited-slip differential promises better cornering stability and less oversteer and understeer.

Improved Driving Dynamics

Mazda adds a new stability control mode called “DSC-Track,” which raises the system’s intervention threshold. This is intended to improve the MX-5 Miata’s overall driving dynamics, promising better handling and stability, together with the updated steering parts and limited-slip differential
