2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata - $30,495 + $820 D&H with the short throw 6-speed MT now offers a 27/34 mpgUS city/highway rating vs. todays 22/28 result. 27/36 with the new 6-speed AT.
The first generation MX-5 was introduced 25 years ago whereas the all-new fourth generation stays true to the model’s original driving fun intent that only a lightweight sports car can.
The all-new 2,332 lb. 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata – 148 lbs less than the outgoing model – is absolutely loaded with the brands latest SKYACTIV technology improvements. For the 2016 MY, efficiency has improved dramatically as shown above.
For 2016, even the base MX-5 Sport trim arrives with a decent amount of std. features. These include 16-inch alloys, cruise control, LED headlights and tail lights, Bluetooth phone pairing and audio streaming, leather-wrapped shift knob, power door locks and a single USB input.
The automatic adds $1,075 to any trims price while a proximity key upgrade costs just $130 on the MT (standard with AT).
The current Sport with the 6-speed MT spins at a buzzy 2790 RPM@60 RPM, the Club and GT spin at a slightly less 2,675 RPM and the same trims with the 6-speed AT spin at a far more relaxing 1,980 RPM at the same 60 mph. The 2016 full specs have not yet been released yet but I suspect a little less spin and a little more distance for every given rotation of the crank.
2016 Mazda MX-5
The std. 2.0L I4 displacement remains the same but it has been completely reworked as a direct-injection unit offering 155 hp and 148 lb-ft. of torque vs. the 167 hp and 140 lb-ft. of torque 2.0L on the previous MX-5. The hp and Torque peaks come 1,000 and 400 rpm less respectively.
From the 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club Review, the little Roadster offered an excellent 48.7 mpg actual result.
If the EPA result is 25-percent higher than the 2015 MX-5's EPA highway results when paired with the outgoing model's available six-speed manual transmission, what do you think the 2016 is going to be worth?
The interior appears to have been massively reworked and brought up to current spec.
According to Mazda, the all-new MX-5 followed the same "Gram Strategy" as other Mazda vehicles including the CX-5, Mazda6, Mazda3 and upcoming CX-3 – paring approximately 150 pounds while strengthening the body and improving safety.
With just 8-days before its release to dealerships, the 2-seat sports car game is about to improve with an better offering from Mazda than ever before.
