Updates Keep It Simple
The MX-5 Miata enters the new model year largely unchanged. All variants are still powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 181 horsepower and 151 pounds-feet of torque and can be mated to either a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. The automaker chose to make only one change for 2023: the addition of Zircon Sand Metallic to the MX-5’s color portfolio. The paint color has been gradually trickling its way through Mazda’s vehicle lineup since we first saw it on the CX-50 SUV.
In addition, Mazda confirmed the Kinematic Posture Control system will continue to be offered on the Miata moving forward given positive feedback from customers. The system applies a small amount of braking at the inner rear wheel to help improve high-speed cornering behavior.

The 2023 Mazda MX-5 will go on sale over the winter. RF variants with retractable roofs are available for the Club and Grand Touring trims.
