The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a leading player in the compact sports car segment, and for good reason. The 2023 model of the convertible offers a pleasant, powerful driving experience with the modern luxuries you’d expect in a sports car. Keep reading to learn more about why you should talk to a Mazda dealer about the MX-5!

The 2023 model of the Miata pays tribute to the legacy of the car’s history since it was first introduced in 1989. With the Miata’s typical low-profile silhouette, sleek curves, and wide front grille, the MX-5 is here to impress.

New For 2023

The MX-5 remains mechanically unchanged for the 2023 model year. The only update was the inclusion of a new exterior color, Zircon Sand, which brings the total number of colors available on the 2023 model to seven.

Standout Features of the MX-5 Miata

An Efficient and Powerful Engine 

The MX-5 is powered by a 2L four-cylinder engine rated at 181 horsepower and which can be paired with the standard manual or optional automatic transmissions. The lightweight of the car means that you feel the full power of the engine behind the wheel, and the nimble and responsive steering with the top down helps create the peak sports car feeling.

Despite being a sports car with a reputation for quick acceleration, the Miata enjoys an impressive average fuel economy rating of 26 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.

Modern Technology Features in a Luxurious Interior

The Miata is a driver’s car, and the design reflects that philosophy with minimalist interior styling that makes the driver’s seat, wheel, and instruments the focal point. The center console is made up of a mix of tactile buttons that can be easily adjusted while driving, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment center with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

The Miata’s technology is not limited to entertainment. Features like automatic emergency braking, blindspot monitoring, forward collision detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning systems all come standard on all ​trim levels of the MX-5. ​Higher trims include other safety features like ​curve-following ​adaptive headlights, ​rain-sensing wipers, and traffic sign recognition software.

Ask Your Mazda Dealer About the Warranty 

Mazda offers an industry-leading warranty for all 2023 Miatas. The limited warranty covers the MX-5 for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, while the Miata’s engine and powertrain are covered under a separate five-year or 60,000-mile warranty.
