The Mazda MX-Miata has a long and popular history, which means that it has a bright future ahead of it. Fans will come back to this stylish sports car year after year, looking for the same quality they have come to expect yet excited for new innovations. Fans have been waiting for news of the 2023 Mazda Miata, but so far, details have been scant. The automaker has leaked a few small details, and others are merely speculation based on the evolution of the model and the future goals for Mazda.

Here’s what we know – or think we know – so far about the 2023 Mazda Miata: 

Partially Electric Powertrain

Mazda has said that it wants to introduce more technology in its lineup. Specifically, it has said that, in the next three years, it wants to offer five new hybrid vehicles, five new plug-in hybrid vehicles, and three new electric vehicles. Since the Miata is one of Mazda’s most popular vehicles, there is a good chance that it will be one of the chosen models to get the electric treatment. However, since the Miata is a sportier vehicle, it is more likely to get a hybrid treatment, rather than a full electric treatment at this point. Industry insiders are predicting a “mild hybrid” setup in the 2023 model. 

New Generation, New Look

The last generation of the Mazda Miata was introduced in 2016, which seems like an eon in terms of vehicle generations. It is well due for a new generation, and industry experts are predicting that 2023 could be the year for it. With the introduction of a new generation, there will certainly be a new look for the Miata. But even if a whole new generation is not introduced in 2023, the Miata is overdue for some styling upgrades, and Mazda could take this opportunity to freshen up a few items. 

New Features

The Mazda Miata has always offered some of the best features available, as well as some of the most advanced technology. We expect that the 2023 Miata will build on the features that are available in the current model, taking the offerings to the next level. To understand what the 2023 model might offer, we have to consider what is offered in the 2022 model: a manually folding soft top, kinematic posture control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium sound system, and more. Higher trim levels add enhanced seats, premium brakes, additional safety features, and more. Expect to find all this and a few extras in the 2023 Miata.
