Basics About the Mazda Miata for 2022
The 2022 model of the Mazda Miata is one of the most affordable two-seat convertible sports cars on the market today, an exhilarating package of joy that truly puts the fun back into driving. Its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine puts out 181 horsepower and goes from 0-60 mph in just under six seconds, zipping through its gears with the aid of a manual transmission that will bring a smile to the face of any sports car purist.
Most Miata trim levels come with a manually folding convertible soft top, while the Miata RF adds the option of a power-folding Targa hardtop. The interior is cozy and tasteful, featuring two USB ports and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. A six-speaker audio system is standard, while Grand Touring and Club trim levels include a nine-speaker premium Bose system.
New Features
The Mazda Miata has been cherished among affordable sports car enthusiasts since its inception, and one of the reasons for this is how well it handles. Mazda has doubled down on this with the addition of a new feature called Kinematic Posture Control, which applies slight brake pressure to the inner rear wheel while the car is cornering. This reduces body roll and adds more stability, keeping your Miata on rails better than ever before.
On the outside, Platinum Quartz Metallic is a new color choice that really makes the Miata stand out like light gold precious metal. Interior options now include rich Terracotta Nappa leather upholstery as part of the Grand Touring trim, while the Club trim now comes with wireless Apple CarPlay. The Club trim on the Miata RF includes the Brembo BBS Recaro package, which features Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, and BBS wheels.
Performance
Whether it’s cruising along the coast with the top down or zipping through a winding mountain pass, the Mazda Miata is made to get out and enjoy the road. Surprising acceleration, rear-wheel drive, and flawless weight balance add up to exquisite handling performance, further enhanced by front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension. There’s also an available limited-slip rear differential.
In terms of fuel economy, the Miata is EPA rated at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. All in all, Mazda’s latest Miata carries on a proud tradition of being one of the best sports car options in its category.
These are just a few of the reasons why the Mazda Miata continues to be so popular with drivers, especially those who seek the adventure of hitting the open road in a sporty two-seat convertible. Call or stop by Mazda City of Orange Park to test drive the new Mazda Miata and experience the pure joy of driving.
