2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF
The 2025 Mazda Miata RF continues the legacy of the iconic roadster, offering an exhilarating open-air driving experience with the added sophistication of a retractable hardtop. It may be small, but it is mighty – offering powerful performance and outsized style that grabs attention wherever it goes.
Though there are no major changes for the 2025 model, the Mazda Miata RF still has plenty to offer and get buyers excited. Combining stunning exterior styling, a driver-focused interior, and thrilling performance, the 2025 Miata RF remains one of the purest sports cars on the market.
Exterior Styling
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF carries forward its signature “Kodo: Soul of Motion” design philosophy, with sleek lines, an aggressive stance, and an unmistakable fastback silhouette. The RF (Retractable Fastback) model offers a power-folding hardtop that seamlessly tucks away in just 13 seconds, blending the style of a coupe with the thrill of a convertible.
As part of its design, the Miata RF has aerodynamic sculpting to improve handling and efficiency. It doesn’t have a lot of flashy detailing to detract from its sophisticated exterior. There are subtle LED headlights and taillights for a sharp, modern look and an understated but elegant black mesh front grille that enhances its sporty appeal. The 17-inch alloy wheels available in multiple finishes not only accentuate the design but also enhance performance.
Bold color choices are available to match the spirit of the design, including the fan-favorite Soul Red Crystal Metallic. With its bold coloring, low-slung body, aggressive fenders, and flowing curves, the Miata RF looks just as dynamic as it drives.
Interior Styling and Capacity
Inside the 2025 Mazda Miata RF, drivers will find a minimalist yet premium cabin designed for comfort and engagement. The driver-centric cockpit places everything within easy reach, ensuring that nothing distracts from the joy of driving. The interior has a compact yet ergonomic design for a snug, sporty feel. There is an intuitive center console with a simplified button layout – nothing like the overwhelming configurations you can find in some newer vehicles.
The Miata RF’s cabin is purpose-built for driving enthusiasts, offering luxury where it counts while maintaining a lightweight, performance-focused feel. Soft-touch materials and brushed aluminum accents are used throughout the interior for a refined aesthetic. Premium leather-trimmed seats are available for an upscale feel, as well as heated seats (on select trims) for extra comfort.
This quintessential roadster has space only for two passengers, but seating is designed for maximum comfort. While cargo space is appropriate to the spirit of the vehicle – just 4.6 cubic feet – there’s still enough to store what you’ll need for weekend jaunts. With the Miata RF, Mazda has prioritized weight savings over excessive bulk, ensuring a pure driving experience. Settle into its comfortable seats, put back the top, and set out on the open road to enjoy.
Power and Performance
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF remains one of the most engaging and fun-to-drive sports cars on the market, thanks to its perfect 50/50 weight distribution, rear-wheel drive, and a responsive powertrain.
The Miata RF comes with a 2.0L SKYACTIV-G Inline 4 engine that puts out 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. It has a high-revving, naturally aspirated design for a thrilling powerband, and it can go from 0-60 mph in approximately 5.8 seconds. The engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission for purists who love engaging driving or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters for those who prefer convenience. (The manual transmission is standard, and the automatic is optional.)
Several performance features are added to the Miata RF to enhance the driving experience. Sport-tuned suspension has been added for precision cornering. A lightweight chassis gives you an agile, connected feel on the road, and standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) ensures dynamic handling. Optional features further enhance the driving experience, such as a limited-slip differential (available on higher trims) for improved traction and a Brembo brakes package for enhanced stopping power.
Whether you're carving through twisty backroads or cruising on the open highway, the 2025 Mazda Miata RF delivers an unparalleled driving experience.
Technology and Convenience Features
While the Miata RF is primarily focused on delivering pure driving enjoyment, Mazda has integrated modern technology and convenience features to enhance the overall experience.
The infotainment system is displayed on an 8.8-inch Mazda Connect touchscreen with an intuitive interface. Both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included for seamless smartphone integration. There’s an integrated navigation system powered by Alexa built-in for effortless road trips and maneuvering busy cities. Available features provide additional luxury, like a wireless charging pad and a Bose 9-speaker premium audio system with headrest speakers that provides an immersive listening experience.
Advanced convenience features are included on the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF that create a sophisticated experience. Keyless entry and push-button start both offer easy access, and you can control both through the MyMazda app from the convenience of your smartphone. Automatic climate control ensures a consistently comfortable ride with minimal effort. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel provides customizable positioning so that you are comfortable yet alert. There’s also an auto-dimming rearview mirror to reduce glare and rain-sensing wipers for added convenience during sudden downpours.
With these and other technology and convenience features – both on the standard model and through available upgrades – the Miata RF offers just the right amount of modern tech while keeping the driver connected to the road.
Safety Features
Sports cards are known for their daring designs and their racy performance – letting drivers feel like they are skirting the edge of danger. Yet the 2025 Mazda Miata RF also prioritizes safety and driver assistance technologies to enhance protection on the road, allowing you to flirt with disaster but remain far from the reality of it.
There’s a long list of standard safety features on the Miata RF. The Advanced Smart City Brake Support detects vehicles ahead of you and applies braking assistance if needed – handy for those emergency braking situations and the times that you may not be paying full attention on the road. Blind spot monitoring alerts you to vehicles in adjacent lanes, and the rear cross-traffic alert warns you of approaching traffic when reversing. The lane departure warning system helps prevent unintentional lane drifting. Adaptive LED headlights improve visibility on dark roads and around corners, and a rearview camera assists with parking and reversing.
Additional safety enhancements include traction and stability control to maintain grip in slippery conditions. Of course, the high-strength Skyactiv body also enhances crash protection while keeping weight low.
Available safety features include high beam control, an adaptive front lighting system, a traffic sign recognition system, and Mazda radar cruise control.
While the Miata RF is designed for spirited driving, these safety features ensure peace of mind without compromising performance.
Trim Levels
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF doesn’t need multiple trim levels to appeal to a wide swath of drivers. It has two offerings that offer some of the best features that the nameplate has to offer, delivering a superb driving experience:
Mazda Miata Club
This trim level has a sporty performance focus. It comes with 17-inch BBS lightweight forged dark gunmetal alloy wheels and performance-tuned Bilstein shocks (on manual transmission models only). The interior boasts heated Recaro sport seats and a Bose 9-speaker audio system with headrest speakers. Safety features include blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
Mazda Miata Grand Touring
This trim level is focused more on luxury and comfort. It comes with leather-trimmed seats for added refinement, as well as heated seats for comfort during cold-weather driving. Auto-dimming mirrors enhance convenience and keep the ambience in check. A built-in navigation system makes for seamless travel. Safety features include LED headlights with an adaptive front-lighting system.
Each of these trim levels caters to a different type of driver, whether you prioritize performance or luxury. Additional packages and individual upgrades are available to help you get exactly the features that you want from the Miata RF.
