Along with excellent fuel economy and top-notch driving excitement, one of the best things about Mazda cars is that they come in a lot of varieties. Every model has several trims to pick from, including the Sport and Grand Touring, so there’s something for every driver. While these trims have been renamed in most models, you can still find them with the Mazda MX-5 Miata; this guide from Pearson Mazda looks at the Sport vs Grand Touring Mazda trims and how they differ.
MAZDA MX-5 Miata Sport
The Sport is the base trim of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but even so, it’s chock full of amenities. It features a 181-horsepower 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, a six-speed manual transmission, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The cabin has cloth upholstery, a leather-trimmed shift knob, and a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.
Tech features include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, HD radio, proximity keyless entry, and an 8.8-inch display for the Mazda Connect™ infotainment system. You will also get these safety systems:
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Smart Brake Support
- Driver Attention Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
- Vehicle Exit Warning
MAZDA MX-5 Miata Grand Touring
The Grand Touring is the top-of-the-line trim. In addition to what you’ll find in the Sport trim, it adds 17-inch wheels, and you can opt for a six-speed automatic transmission. It also comes with genuine leather upholstery, heated seats, and an in-dash navigation system. Extra safety features include traffic sign recognition, adaptive headlights with automatic high beams, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
