2023 MX-5 Miata Safety

No crashworthiness review of the Mazda Miata has been completed by the NHTSA or the IIHS. Euro NCAP gave it a four-star rating in 2015, but since the European model's specification doesn't match the US model, we don't feel it would be fair to use that assessment.

2023 MX-5 Miata Key Safety Features

All models get the i-Activsense safety suite as standard, including smart city brake support, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, and lane departure warning. The Grand Touring adds adaptive LED headlights with auto high beams and traffic sign recognition. On the more traditional side, the MX-5 Miata comes with traction and stability control, ABS, a rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring, and front and side airbags for the driver and passenger.

2023 MX-5 Miata Reliability

The MX-5 Miata has always scored highly for reliability. J.D. Power gives it a solid 79 out of 100 in this category. According to the NHTSA, no recalls have affected 2020-2023 models. The 2019 model was recalled twice for a fuel pump that could fails and transmission software that may cause an abrupt downshift.

Each MX-5 is sold with a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Roadside assistance also runs for 36,000 miles or three years.
