The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata represents over three decades of sports car refinement, delivering pure driving joy in an affordable package. This iconic two-seater roadster comes in classic soft-top and RF (retractable fastback) versions, both offering the same thrilling experience that has made the Miata legendary among driving enthusiasts.
The Miata’s direct steering and athletic handling make every corner an adventure, though the firm suspension prioritizes performance over comfort on rough roads. While cabin space is snug and storage limited, the 2025 Mazda Miata lease package excels at what matters most: delivering authentic sports car thrills.
Engine and Transmission
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder delivers 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, revving enthusiastically to its 7,500-rpm redline. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard, while the Grand Touring trim offers a six-speed automatic option. While power figures seem modest, the lightweight chassis transforms every horse into spirited acceleration, enabling it hit 60 mph in 5.5 seconds with the crisp six-speed manual transmission. Handling epitomizes pure driving joy with razor-sharp steering feedback and playful balance. The ride is taut yet composed, with the Club’s firmer suspension adding extra precision. This rev-happy engine encourages exploration of higher rpm ranges, delivering authentic roadster thrills.
Fuel Economy
According to the EPA, the MX-5 Miata with the automatic transmission is rated at 26 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined. Opting for the manual transmission reduces the highway rating by one mpg.
Interior and Tech
Similar to other Mazda models, the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s cabin embodies minimalist driving purity. The snug two-seater prioritizes essentials: the steering wheel, shifter, and prominent tachometer dominate the driver-focused cockpit. Leather trim and body-colored door accents add refinement to the purposeful design. The 8.8-inch touchscreen manages Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via intuitive console controls. Standard audio suffices, though the optional Bose system integrates speakers directly into the headrests for immersive sound. Storage is deliberately sparse—removable cupholders and minimal cubbies reflect the roadster’s weekend-getaway philosophy over practicality.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata offers a well-rounded suite of safety and driver-assistance features, ensuring a secure and confident driving experience. Key highlights include:
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Lane Departure Warning System
- Rear View Monitor
