A Cockpit Built for the Driver

The interior of the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF reflects Mazda's philosophy that every control should feel natural and intuitive. Supportive sport seats, premium materials, and a minimalist layout place the driver at the center of the experience. The Mazda Connect infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, allowing easy access to navigation, music, and smartphone apps without distracting from the drive.

Retractable Fastback Design That Turns Heads

The MX-5 Miata RF combines the timeless proportions of the legendary Miata with a sleek retractable fastback roof that delivers the best of both worlds. With the touch of a button, the roof opens in seconds, creating an exhilarating open-air driving experience while maintaining the security and refined appearance of a coupe when closed. Sculpted body lines, signature LED lighting, and available BBS® wheels further enhance the RF's unmistakable road presence. It's a sports car that looks just as stunning parked along Main Street as it does winding through Michigan's scenic highways.
