The 2016 Mazda MX-5 is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive roadster that delivers pure, balanced driving enjoyment. It is powered by a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G inline-4 engine, producing 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to its low curb weight (under 1,060 kg), the MX-5 accelerates from 0–100 km/h in approximately 6.5 seconds, with agile cornering and responsive steering. The 2016 model introduced the fourth-generation (ND) design, featuring a compact, sculpted body with improved aerodynamics and a 50:50 weight distribution for precise handling. Suspension consists of double wishbones in front and multi-link rear, tuned for spirited driving. The interior is simple yet driver-focused, with manual soft-top operation, bucket sport seats, and Mazda Connect infotainment with touchscreen and Bluetooth. The 2016 MX-5 combines affordability, reliability, and genuine sports car dynamics, making it a benchmark for enthusiast driving.
