A few days ago, Mazda officially released its 2024 MX-5 Miata model in North America. The details of the exterior interior of the new car have been adjusted, and the mechanical part has been upgraded.
The upgrade basically means price increase. The starting price of the 2024 MX-5 Miata has been raised from $29,125 of the 2023 model to $30,150, and the top model has been raised from $37,215 to $38,175, all of which are about $1,000.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car adopts a family design style, and the ridges on both sides of the front hatch cover bring a strong three-dimensional sense; The headlight group is blackened, with lenses integrated inside, and high-brightness chrome-plated strips are added for decoration, which makes the texture more in place.
The grille part is designed with a big mouth, and the interior is decorated with a banner structure, which has a strong sense of hierarchy; The fenders on both sides are also equipped with vertically arranged diversion grooves, which can improve aerodynamic performance and have a strong sporty atmosphere.
In terms of side styling, the new car still offers soft-top convertible and hard-top convertible versions to meet the needs of different users; The whole body looks a little retro, which is also the reason why MX-5 Miata is popular. The irregular waistline adopts a penetrating design, which embellishes the layering of the side of the car body; The hub is a multi-spoke blackened shape, and the style is more atmospheric.
In terms of tail shape, the top of the trunk is not only equipped with duckling tail, but also with shark fin, which is also the iconic design style of MX-5 Miata; The taillight group is blackened, and its shape is a bit like that of the headlight group; The license plate frame area adopts a concave design, which embellishes the three-dimensional sense of the rear of the car, and the exhaust pipe is a double-outlet layout on the right side.
The interior belongs to Mazda’s family design, providing a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a barrel-type instrument panel, a suspended central control panel and a mechanical gear handle, which also belong to a more retro type.
On the mechanical level, the 2024 MX-5 Miata has been upgraded for the steering system. The internal friction of the new steering gear is lower, the steering feel will be smoother, and the response speed of the front wheel will be more accurate.
The limited slip differential of high-profile models has also been upgraded, and an asymmetric design has been adopted, which can reduce the problem of understeer when entering the corner.
In terms of power, the new car still provides a 1.5L self-priming engine and a 2.0L self-priming engine. The maximum power of the 1.5L self-priming engine is increased by 4 horsepower, and the response speed of the 2.0L engine is improved.
