we feel grateful every time the mazda mx-5 miata lives to see a new model year. this charming roadster isn't a hot seller, but it's one of our favorite cars, so we're happy to see it receive some updates for 2020. new exterior and interior colors are on offer and there's a bit more standard equipment, meaning that the price increases of between $700 and $890, depending on trim level, are relatively easy to stomach.
all 2020 miatas also get a new font and a new key fob like the rest of the mazda lineup.the mx-5 miata sport remains the base trim and it now starts at $27,500. that price includes new driver-assist features—blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and forward collision warning—which are now standard across the board. the $31,210 miata club now includes android auto and apple carplay. the grand touring now costs $32,590 and features the same chassis upgrades as the club, including a limited-slip differential, blistein dampers, a front shock tower brace, and stiffer suspension tuning. the rf version with a retractable targa top cost $2755 extra and comes only in club and grand touring trims.
polymetal gray is a newly available exterior color, as first seen on the mazda 3 hatchback. and the grand touring model now offers a gray softtop—black and brown tops remain available, too—and a $300 red leather interior with certain exterior color options.
2020 miatas with these updates will start arriving at mazda dealerships in february.
