2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata
2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata Trim Levels and Packages
Mazda has kept things simple on the 2023 MX-5 Miata range and offers just three trim options for 2023. These are the Sport, Club, and the Grand Touring. All are fitted with a 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated 16-valve, 2.0-liter gasoline engine. Drivers can expect 181 horsepower and 151 pounds of torque that comes with a 6-speed short-throw manual transmission.
Sticking to the sporting roots of this iconic little two door sports car, Mazda has focused on spirited open-air driving, retaining the front-engined, rear-wheel drive drivetrain and standard soft-top.
Let's take a closer look at what's on offer with the 2023 Mazda Miata trim levels.
Mazda MX-5 Miata Trim Levels
Sport
Starting at $28,050, the MX-5 Miata Sport trim is the base model.
Exterior: All models utilize a lightweight monocoque unibody construction with front and rear suspension subframes to offer sporty handling — guaranteeing a fun driving experience. Braking is taken care of with disc brakes on all four corners with four-channel Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) along with Brake Assist. Standard fitment also includes modern LED headlights, and the Sport package is available in three exterior colors.
Interior: The Sport model is fitted with black cloth seats and red stitching as standard. Tech lovers will enjoy the in-car infotainment with the seven-inch high-resolution touchscreen multimedia system (fitted as standard across all three trim levels.) This system offers both Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® connectivity as standard. Safety features include a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and much more.
Club
Moving up one trim level will get you to the Club trim, which starts at $31,550.
Exterior: Drivers will appreciate the standard sport-tuned suspension, performance Bilstein shocks, plus a limited-slip differential. All of these handling upgrades provide the driver with enhanced on-road agility and cornering stability. The Club trim is equipped with additional exterior styling elements such as a front air dam, a rear spoiler, and unique black 17-inch wheels, further enhancing the car's sporty appeal. The Club trim is available in seven exterior colors. At the Club trim level, a power-folding hardtop option dubbed RF is available as an upgrade.
Interior: The Club level adds wireless Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration along with a Bose® nine-speaker audio system and AudioPilot® as standard. The Club trim also sees standard fitment of automatic climate controls, heated front seats, and rain-sensing variable-intermittent windshield wipers.
Grand Touring
Starting at a $33,050 MSRP, the top-of-the-range Grand Touring trim is aimed at buyers who place value on luxury features.
Exterior: Not everyone wants to be working away at a manual transmission, so a 6-speed automatic transmission option is provided on the Grand Touring package. Ticking the automatic transmission option box adds a $300 premium to the asking price. On the Grand Touring, the power-folding hardtop option (RF) is also available as an upgrade, and buyers can choose from six exterior colors.
Interior: This trim level gets all features found on the Club package plus heated leather seats, automatic climate control, a Bose nine-speaker audio system, along with safety features such as the helpful adaptive headlights and a lane departure warning system. Interior colors available are black with red stitching, black, and a vibrant terracotta.
