Green Mazda provides an exceptional car shopping experience, whether you’re looking for a sporty Mazda MX-5 Miata or a Mazda SUV. Let’s look at the history that sparked Mazda’s reputation for creating fun cars.
The First- and Second-Generation MAZDA MX-5
After making an appearance in the Chicago Auto Show, the Mazda MX-5(NA) went on sale in the United States in 1989 as a “lightweight sports car.” The model gained instant popularity for its open-top, inspiring other automakers to mimic the design.
The second generation of the Mazda MX-5 was released in 1999 after debuting at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1997. Continuing with its original lightweight style, the Mazda MX-5(NB) came in a turbocharged model and coupe version available in Japan.
The Third Generation MAZDA MX-5
After the Mazda MX-5 gained recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “Best-selling convertible two-seater sports car” in 2000, Mazda released the third generation in 2005. The Mazda MX-5(NC) had the classic lightweight style and open top, with exciting updates that added a 2.0-liter engine and a retractable hardtop model just a year later. The creation of the new hardtop model intended to introduce an open-top driving experience to more people, increasing the Mazda MX-5’s popularity worldwide.
The Fourth Generation MAZDA MX-5 and Beyond
Mazda introduced the last generation of the Mazda MX-5 in 2017, reaching one million units twenty-seven years after introducing the first-generation model. The Mazda MX-5(ND) continued the open-top tradition, with a new hardtop that promises an exhilarating driving experience even with the roof down.
Today, the 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata comes in three trims and continues Mazda’s legacy of offering convertible sports cars that thrill.
