Which Engine Powers the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF?
Mazda didn’t mess around under the hood. This little coupe packs a SKYACTIV®-G 2-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine with 181 hp and 151 lb.-ft. of torque to back it up. Thanks to the 13:1 compression ratio and electronically controlled fuel injection, this car loves to rev and pulls confidently when you’re accelerating out of a curve.
What makes it even better? That front midship engine paired with rear-wheel drive. The balance feels on point—whether weaving through mountain roads or cruising down the coast. And if you like to stay in control, the SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual with a short-throw shifter is incredibly satisfying. Prefer paddle shifters? The 6-speed Sport automatic has your back.

What Type of Suspension Is Available in the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata?
Underneath the body, Mazda gave it a monocoque unibody with a backbone frame and sport-tuned suspension. The double wishbone front and multilink rear setup (with aluminum components and monotube dampers) gives you confident control and nimble handling. The asymmetric, torque-sensing limited-slip differential on manual models keeps things tight in the corners. Add in Electric Power Steering and 4-wheel disc brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist, and this ride responds like it’s reading your mind.Â
