The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Confirmed

Since 2015, the fourth installment of the Mazda MX-5 Miata has and continues to glide around the world as the beloved sports car of motor enthusiasts. Although undoubtedly, the ovulation clock is ticking on the non-electric sports car, the roadster rock star will not be giving birth to an electrified rendition anytime soon. Fortunately, there will be an updated model of the Miata rolling down in the next few weeks. 

A brief message came inscribed on the Mazda Japanese website. Of course, that message fueled the rumor mill, especially since the new model is in the works. But leave this blog knowing that the last installment of fourth-generation Miata will remain in production. So Mazda’s Japanese message needed translation. That translation states that the current model of the MX-5 (AKA the Roadster as it’s known in Japan) is discontinued after the new model debuts sometime in the winter.      

Esteemed colleagues reached out to Mazda USA to understand where the Miata stands within the North American market. Mazda USA responded, “there are no plans to stop production of the current generation MX-5 (ND).” The Spokesperson for Mazda USA went on to say that an update for the 2022 Miata would reveal itself “in the coming weeks.” 

By 2030, the entire Mazda line-up intends to electrify. However, there’s no official confirmation on what internal combustion engine Mazda will feature in the future Miata. But word on the street is Mazda’s considering an e-fuel option also. 

There may be other under-the-hood prospects for the Miata bachelor, such as the new range of Sykactiv X engines. As a result, some turbulence articles may arise, especially since Miata devotees alike are curious to learn what will happen to the 1.5-liter base model. 

Another twist in the plot is how Mazda will persevere through the MX-5’s inevitable weight penalty. The weight penalty is certainly a discrepancy the Mazda MX-5 990s (exclusive to Japan) can’t relate to bearing. The light as feather Miata debuted last month for a weight of 990 kg (2,182 lbs), eliminating the frills for lighter wheels and brakes.  

Owning the 2022 Mazda Miata CX-5 may be the last chance of owning a piece of history for enthusiasts, as this could be the final non-electric variation. As previously mentioned, the MX-5 will progress into a hybrid but replacing the ND chassis proves a challenge only the ‘Zoom-Zoom’ creators can handle.
