2020 Mazda MX-5 MiataThe 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata is hitting the road with a few minor updates from previous models. The two-seat sports car has a powerful engine that gains a little more horsepower this year. Also for 2020, the car features new badge fonts and a new key fob. Read on to learn about some of the top features of the 2020 MX-5 Miata.

It Has More Power

The MX-5 Miata is powered by a Skyactive-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood. The engine cranks out 181 horsepower, which is 26 horsepower more than the previous model. You can choose to have your engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission or to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

It’s a Smooth Ride

When you encounter tight corners and bumpy roads, you’ll appreciate the smooth ride of the MX-5. Thanks to the sport-tuned suspension, the height of the vehicle is lower. This reduces the chance of body rolls, and you’ll enjoy sharper handling. Additionally, it features a double-wishbone front suspension, which helps to reduces the cowl shake when driving over bumpy roads.

The MX-5 also has a limited-slip differential, which helps improve traction and lets you press the pedal to the metal. You’ll also find Bilstein shocks with three sensors that detect wheel speed, engine control, and suspension force. The shocks quickly adjust based on the road conditions and help create a comfortable ride.

It Has a Simple, Yet Luxurious Interior

The cabin of the 2020 MX-5 is loaded with luxurious amenities that mold to your body. Both burgundy Nappa leather and tan and black leather are available options for the seating surfaces. Stainless sill plates not only help reduce stuffing, but also add a sporty touch to the interior. With Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, you can easily access your favorite apps, such as navigation, music, calling, messaging, and more.

There’s room for two people to sit inside the 2020 MX-5 Miata. While the trunk is on the smaller side, there’s still room for two small suitcases or a few bags of groceries.

It Has Top-Notch Safety Features

The 2020 MX-5 comes equipped with a number of active and passive safety features to ensure you arrive to your destination safely. The smart city brake support is perfect for urban and congested areas. The system helps you avoid frontal collisions when driving at slow speeds by using sensors to detect cars in front of you and preparing the brakes for quick stopping if necessary. You’ll also benefit from blind-spot monitoring, which alerts you if a vehicle is detected in your blind-spot.

With rear cross-traffic alert, backing out of parking spots is a breeze. This system can detect vehicles approaching from both the right and left and alerts you before a collision occurs. The lane departure warning system uses cameras in the windshield to detect when you are beginning to veer out of your lane. If you don’t correct your path, the system will automatically try to steer you away from the edge of the lane and back to the center of your lane.
