Some handy interior storage solutions make road trips easy, including dual removable cup holders, a lockable rear center console, a remote trunk lid release for easy access to the trunk, and a convenient standard trunk light.
Sharp Exterior
The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata's eye-catching exterior design is inspired by the classic roadsters of the 1960s. This classic look, combined with Mazda's stylish KODO design language, makes for a sports car that looks like it's in motion even when standing still.
Plentiful key standard exterior highlights include:
- LED headlights
- LED Daytime running lights
- LED tail lights Black power side mirrors
- Body-colored front bumper and door handles
- Solar-controlled/tinted windshield
The 2024 Miata convertible range is fitted as standard with a black cloth top and alloy wheels.
Powertrain and Performance
A fully aluminum alloy SKYACTIV-G 2.0 liter DOHC 16-valve, 4-cylinder VVT gasoline engine does duty across all trims in the lineup.
With a high-revving engine at the front, this vehicle produces 181 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 151 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Mazda's SKYACTIV technology enables these output figures, with a high compression ratio of 13:1 and a sporty 7,500 rpm redline that gives the Mazda MX-5 Miata spirited performance.
The Miata makes use of a SKYACTIV-MT 6-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter that sends all its power down to the rear wheels.
2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata 0-60 Time
The generous output figures from this naturally aspirated motor, along with the lightweight construction, translate into some spirited 0-60 mph times.
Even though Mazda has released no official numbers for this benchmark test, Car and Driver have performed tests and found that soft-top equipped models can achieve a low 5.7 seconds 0 to 60 mph acceleration time while the slightly heavier hardtop equipped Mazda MX-5 Miata RF clocks in at 5.8 seconds.
Balance, Chassis, and Handling
Owners can experience the sheer enjoyment of the drive in the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata as it continues with its lightweight monocoque unibody construction. The Miata comes equipped with a backbone frame that offers a stiffer chassis, and it has an aluminum hood and aluminum trunk lid to shave off any unnecessary weight.
This relatively small fourth-generation Miata measures only 154.1 inches in length, with a wheelbase of 90.9 inches. The 2024 Miata is 68.3 inches wide with a maximum height of 48.8 inches on the RF models. These compact dimensions, along with the aforementioned drivetrain, offer a precisely balanced and sporty drive that Miata drivers have come to appreciate over the years.
For the 2024 model year, Mazda's engineers have equipped the Miata with an updated power steering system for more precise steering, and upper trim levels fitted with the manual transmission offer improved on-road stability thanks to the fitment of an asymmetrical limited-slip differential.
With its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and four-wheel independent front and rear suspension systems connected to the body using subframes, the MX-5 Miata provides enhanced handling.
With a focus on sports performance, the front suspension boasts double wishbones with aluminum control arms and monotube dampers, while the rear suspension utilizes a multilink system with aluminum bearing support and upscale monotube dampers.
Kinematic Posture Control
The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata's cornering prowess is enhanced with standard Kinematic Posture Control that suppresses unwanted body roll while tackling corners. The system works by applying braking force to the inner rear drive wheel when the Miata senses any high G-forces, which help pull the inner rear corner down to suppress body roll.

Buyers looking to purchase the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata get to make a choice from three generously specced trim options with either a soft top or the RF-named retractable hardtop version.
