The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF doesn’t really blend in around Augusta, ME — and that’s the point. Low, compact, and more deliberate in how it moves and feels. Experience it today at Paul Blouin Mazda.

Power and Performance

181 horsepower doesn’t sound extreme on paper, but in a model this light, it feels quick in a different way — immediate, responsive, easy to place exactly where you want it. A SKYACTIV®-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder sits up front, paired with a six-speed manual that stays tight and mechanical with every shift.

An available six-speed automatic with paddle shifters offers another option, but the manual is where this car connects. Rear-wheel drive and near 50/50 balance keep things composed, while Kinematic Posture Control subtly settles the chassis under braking.

Technology Features

Small cabin, but nothing feels stripped out. The 8.8-inch display runs Mazda Connect™, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ already in place.

The Bose® audio system places speakers into the headrests, keeping everything clear even with the roof open. Heated seats respond quickly with three settings.

Safety Features

Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert help when sightlines tighten up. Lane Departure Warning adds another layer of awareness, while Smart Brake Support – Forward monitors what’s ahead. Some configurations bring in Traffic Sign Recognition and Mazda Radar Cruise Control™.

Open-Air Design and Interior

Closed, this model reads like a coupe: tight lines, clean roof. Then the retractable fastback opens and the experience shifts without changing the shape that defines the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF. A Mazda test drive reveals the difference this roof makes.

Available upgrades like Brembo® front brakes, BBS® forged wheels and RECARO® sport seats bring a more focused edge. Prefer something more refined? Available Tan Nappa leather changes the tone without overcomplicating the layout.
