2026 MAZDA MX-5 Miata RF Trim Comparison

The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is built around a single principle: driving should feel good. With its retractable fastback roof, near 50/50 weight distribution, and a curb weight that begins at just 2,467 lbs, this is a roadster designed to inspire. We help drivers find their match every week at Colonial Mazda in Danbury, CT, so here is how the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Club and Grand Touring compare.

2026 MAZDA MX-5 Miata RF Club

The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Club trim is the trim built for the corner-carving enthusiast. Power comes from the 2.0-liter SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder producing 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with the SKYACTIV®-MT six-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter.

What makes the Club trim unmistakable is its hardware: Bilstein dampers, a front shock tower brace, a limited-slip differential, and 17-inch wheels that sharpen turn-in response and stance. New for 2026, the Brembo® BBS® Recaro® Package is now standard equipment, adding Brembo® front brakes, BBS® forged alloy wheels, and Recaro® sport seats that bolster the body for spirited driving. Inside, black Alcantara with light gray contrast stitching and a driver-focused cockpit reinforce the track-day intent of this new Mazda convertible.

2026 MAZDA MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring

The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring trim takes the same 181-horsepower SKYACTIV®-G engine and wraps it in a more refined cabin. The six-speed manual is standard, but the Grand Touring trim is the only RF trim that offers an available six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a sport mode. Inside, leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror elevate everyday comfort. The Bose® nine-speaker premium audio system brings rich sound to open-air drives, while expanded i-ACTIVSENSE® safety technology adds Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ (MRCC) on automatic transmission models, as well as adaptive front lights, traffic sign recognition, and rain-sensing wipers.
