2016 MX-5 Miata Release Date

Expected to arrive in showrooms across the country in mid-2015, shoppers can expect the 2016 MX-5 Miata release date to be a celebration! That’s because the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will be coming out just in time for the Miata’s 25th anniversary. Here at Biggers Mazda, we can’t wait to get our hands on the 2016 MX-5 Miata, especially when we consider what the MX-5 series delivered last year — the award winning 2015 MX-5 Miata. But what we know suggests the 2016 model will be even better, and we want to give you access to all the details as they unfold.

2016 MX-5 Miata Highlights

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata made its first appearance back in the beginning of September, and there were some noticeable design changes made to the exterior. The fourth-gen MX-5 Miata features a much lower, wider stance than its predecessors, which means an improved center of gravity for tighter handling response. The new MX-5 Miata is also much lighter than older generations. This will likely result in improved gas mileage and a more athletic drive upon its release. Aesthetically speaking, the MX-5 Miata uses Mazda’s KODO design language effectively by giving it a classic roadster appearance with a modern twist. The transition from 2015 to 2016 will be an easy one considering what the 2015 MX-5 Miata already has to offer!
