2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Specs: Performance Perfection

2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Specs: Performance Perfection

Except for the new, limited-edition 35th Anniversary Edition trim, there are minimal changes for 2025 compared to the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata specs, as the core formula needed no improvement. For example, the 2,366-pound base curb weight is slightly higher than the outgoing 2024 model. The new Mazda MX-5 Miata boasts the same Skyactiv®-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, however, churning out 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque.

The balance is almost a perfect 50/50 front/rear split, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata engine is placed in a front-midship position. Plus, it comes standard with RWD. These characteristics help it corner with surgical precision.

The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata specs also include a 0-60 acceleration time under six seconds.1 While that's fast, its ability to carry that speed into corners is its true calling card. As is the standard stick-shift transmission, which remains a six-speed unit. A six-speed automatic is available in the Grand Touring trim. With either transmission, you will find an EPA-estimated 29 MPG (Combined)2 to let the fun last all day long.
