Fourth-generation MX-5 Miata (ND, 2016–present)
2016–present
The fourth-generation MX-5 Miata (chassis ND) returned the car to its lightweight roots after the heavier NC, using SkyActiv engineering and crisp 'Kodo' styling to shed weight and lower the center of gravity. It was named World Car of the Year for 2016, introduced the RF Retractable Fastback hardtop, and a 2019 update raised the 2.0L engine to 181 hp.
