The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, part of the fourth generation of the Miata lineage, continues to carry the torch as the embodiment of a lightweight, fun-to-drive roadster. The MX-5 Miata has a sole 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 181 horsepower, paired with either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic. The RF designation stands for 'Retractable Fastback', and it offers a power-folding targa top, giving drivers the option of closed or open-air cruising. Inside, a 7" touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard. Safety-wise, Mazda's i-Activsense suite is included, offering features such as forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. Model year changes for 2025 are minor, focusing mainly on color options and trim enhancements, maintaining its time-tested formula of simplicity and driver-centrality.
