3.1K ViewsMazda’s top dog, Masahiro Moro, has reportedly stated the company is seriously considering offering an electrified version of the next MX-5 Miata. Mazda could very easily change the fundamental characteristics of the MX-5 and where it resides on the market. Going back to 2025, we have examples of Mazda leadership stressing how best to keep the next-gen Miata lightweight while also satisfying increasingly aggressive emission rules. Power presumably wouldn’t be staggering but it would satisfy stringent European emission requirements while being more than sufficient on an extremely lightweight vehicle. Europe would presumably continue seeing smaller engines and more electrification, while American customers should be able to nab something with more displacement.
