Mazda MX-5 Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Refreshed Model, Interior Tweaks, and $30,400 Starting Price

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fourth-generation MX-5 Miata, Mazda has unveiled a refreshed 2026 model in the U.S. market. The updates focus primarily on minor interior enhancements: the Club trim now features black Alcantara trim accents, light gray stitching, and piano-black bezels, along with black-finished air-conditioning knobs and start button. Despite these limited changes, the base price for the entire lineup has increased from $29,830 to $30,430 (approximately RMB 212,000). All models come standard with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (181 hp), LED headlights, dual exhaust outlets, and a soft top with a glass rear window. The base model includes 16-inch wheels, cloth seats, and an 8.8-inch infotainment screen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims offer options such as a retractable hardtop, 17-inch wheels, heated leather seats, a limited-slip differential, and a Bose audio system. Notably, the 35th Anniversary Edition will no longer be available.
