2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Trim Level Comparisons
The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata continues to embody the spirit of driving pleasure, with its lightweight design, sharp handling, and iconic roadster aesthetics. Whether you’re a purist seeking the purest driving experience or someone who desires a touch more luxury, Mazda offers three distinct trim levels: Sport, Club, and Grand Touring. This guide will walk you through the key differences, helping you decide which trim best fits your lifestyle and driving desires.
Exterior Differences
Subtle yet impactful changes define the exterior of each 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata trim. The Sport trim, featuring 16 x 6.0-inch painted alloy wheels, maintains a classic, understated look, perfect for those who prefer a more traditional style. In contrast, the Club and Grand Touring trims upgrade to 17 x 7.0-inch painted alloy wheels, enhancing the car’s sporty appearance while contributing to improved handling performance.
Ground clearance also varies slightly across the trims. The Sport trim offers a 4.9-inch ground clearance, while both the Club and Grand Touring trims sit slightly higher at 5.3 inches. This difference, though minimal, can affect handling and the ability to navigate various road conditions.
Interior Differences
Distinct interior features set each trim apart in terms of comfort and luxury. Sport trim provides a simple yet functional environment with its cloth upholstery, ideal for drivers who appreciate a straightforward, no-frills interior. Moving up, the Club trim introduces a mix of suede and cloth upholstery, adding a sportier vibe and more grip during spirited drives.
Opting for the Grand Touring trim brings a more refined and premium feel with its leather upholstery. Heated seats, standard in both Club and Grand Touring trims, elevate comfort, especially in cooler climates, making long drives more enjoyable.
Pricing Range
Mazda has priced the 2024 MX-5 Miata to cater to a range of budgets, each trim offering a unique balance of features and value. At $28,985, the Sport trim is the most accessible, appealing to those who value a pure driving experience without additional luxuries.
For a balance between performance and extra amenities, the Club trim starts at $32,485, offering more refined interior and exterior features. The Grand Touring trim, priced at $34,285, represents the pinnacle of luxury within the MX-5 lineup, ideal for those who desire a fully-loaded roadster experience.
The Specifications
All 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata trims share a common heart—the 2.0L inline-4 engine producing 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, this engine delivers an engaging and spirited drive across all trims.
Differences in specifications, though subtle, influence the driving experience. The Sport trim’s smaller tire size (195/50R16) offers a different handling feel compared to the larger tires (205/45R17) on the Club and Grand Touring trims. Additionally, while the curb weight is consistent at 2,368 pounds, the slight increase in ground clearance on the higher trims can affect ride comfort and handling on varied terrain.
Technology and Features
Technological features vary significantly across the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata trims. Sport trim offers essential features like Bluetooth connectivity, keyless ignition, and cruise control, catering to those who prefer a minimalist approach. However, advanced features are reserved for the higher trims.
Club trim steps up with heated seats and upgraded upholstery, adding a layer of comfort to the driving experience. Though navigation and satellite radio are not available on this trim, the Grand Touring trim fills the gap with these features, alongside leather upholstery and automatic climate control, delivering a more luxurious and convenient driving experience.
