The 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a sports car known for its sleek exterior design. However, this is just one of the features that make this an excellent vehicle to own and a fun one to drive. Check out these top qualities of the new MX-5.
Flashy Exterior and Plush Interior
The 2018 Mazda MX-5 is undeniably eye-catching. It has a fast-looking frame that rides low to the ground, and you have a range of color choices for both the body and the soft-top canvas when building yours from the ground up. Unique two-tone configurations help this Miata stand out and look sportier than many other vehicles on the road. One of the newest available colors for the canvas top is dark cherry, which perfectly counters darker paint colors.
The flashiness of the exterior is complemented by the plush, elegant interior. Four color and contrast-stitching options are available for the seats, including one lighter beige and tan combination.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2018 Mazda MX-5 is wonderfully fuel-efficient for a sports car. All trims come with the same powertrain and get the same fuel economy: up to 26 miles per gallon in the city and up to 35 on the highway.
Safety Features
Active safety features help protect drivers, ensuring they have fun on the road and can navigate any hazards that come up. Available advanced safety features include:
- I-ACTIVSENSE: This complex radar and camera system monitors the road around you and alerts you to hazards.
- Adaptive front-lighting system: This system automatically turns the headlights up to 15 degrees to give you greater visibility when turning corners.
- High-beam control: This system automatically activates the high beams at night when there are no cars coming from the other direction.
- Lane departure warning system: If a driver begins to drift out of his or her lane while traveling 41 mph or more, this system sends audible and visual warnings to help the driver get back on course.
- Rear cross-traffic alert: This safety feature provides audible and visual warnings when a driver is backing up and it detects a car approaching from either side.
- Blind-spot monitoring: Blind-spot monitoring detects when other vehicles are in the Miata’s blind spot. The alert lets drivers know when it’s safe to change lanes.
Drivability
Together, the above features create a vehicle that’s simply fun to drive. The Miata is peppy, low to the ground, and it gets a lot of power out of an unassuming powertrain, thanks to its small frame. Running on a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the 2018 Mazda MX-5 delivers 155 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. It’s not just speed, though, that makes this vehicle thrilling to drive. It’s low and agile, and taking turns and simply navigating traffic is an absolute joy.
The 2018 Mazda MX-5 is popular for a reason. Take a closer look at Davis-Moore Mazda and go for a test drive in your favorite trims to see whether this vehicle could be the next one you own.
