The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring is a masterclass in driving purity—an elegant roadster that delivers timeless design, premium features, and an unmatched connection between driver and machine. As the top-tier trim in the MX-5 lineup, the Grand Touring takes Mazda’s iconic lightweight sports car formula and infuses it with elevated comfort, technology, and refinement.

At its core, the 2022 Miata is powered by a spirited 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G inline-4 engine, producing 181 horsepowerand 151 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the car’s incredibly light curb weight and near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution, this power translates into a thrilling and responsive drive that feels deeply connected to the road. The Grand Touring comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, while an automatic option is available for those preferring convenience. New for 2022, Mazda added Kinematic Posture Control (KPC)—a subtle but effective system that enhances cornering stability without compromising the car’s natural agility.

The exterior remains a study in classic roadster proportions: short overhangs, a low stance, and fluid lines that convey motion even when standing still. LED lighting, 17-inch machine-finish alloy wheels, and subtle chrome accents on the grille and trim give the Grand Touring an upscale yet athletic presence.

Inside, the cabin of the MX-5 Grand Touring is intimate and driver-focused, wrapped in leather-trimmed upholsterywith available heated seats, automatic climate control, and subtle details like satin chrome trim. Despite its compact footprint, the interior feels purposeful and upscale. The Mazda Connect infotainment system features a 7-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and a crisp 9-speaker Bose® premium audio system—perfectly tuned for top-down cruising.

The Grand Touring trim also adds advanced convenience and safety features, including adaptive front lighting, rain-sensing wipers, navigation, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. These features enhance daily usability while preserving the Miata's reputation as a pure driver’s car.

Available in both classic soft top and RF (Retractable Fastback) body styles, the 2022 MX-5 Miata Grand Touring offers something for both traditionalists and those who prefer the sleek silhouette and added refinement of a hardtop coupe.

Whether carving through twisty back roads or enjoying a relaxed sunset drive with the top down, the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring delivers an experience that’s equal parts refined and exhilarating. It’s a celebration of driving in its purest form—wrapped in a modern, well-appointed package that reminds us why the Miata remains a beloved icon year after year.
