Launched for the 2016 model year, the fourth-generation ND Mazda MX-5 represented a significant return to the original's lightweight philosophy. It's smaller and over 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, the NC. The ND introduced Mazda's Kodo design language and efficient Skyactiv 2.0L engine, initially producing 155 hp. For 2017, Mazda added the Retractable Fastback (RF) model, offering a targa-top experience alongside the traditional soft top.
A key turning point for the ND occurred in 2019 when Mazda revised the 2.0L engine, boosting output to 181 hp and raising the redline to 7,500 rpm. This update transformed the car's character and made 2019+ models highly desirable. Collectors also seek out limited production variants. Notable examples include the 2016 Launch Edition, the 2019 30th Anniversary Edition in its exclusive Racing Orange paint, and Club models equipped with the Brembo/BBS/Recaro package.
With an average sale price around $26,000 from over 240 transactions, the ND Miata market is very active and shows strong value retention for a modern sports car. Early, higher-mileage examples represent an affordable entry point, while low-mileage 2019+ cars and special editions command significant premiums. Manual transmission cars are far more popular and hold their value better than automatics.
Buying Tips
- Prioritize 2019 and newer models for the updated 181 hp engine, which offers a higher 7,500 rpm redline and a more engaging driving experience.
- Early 2016-2017 manual transmissions were prone to failure. Check service history for a transmission replacement or be prepared for potential issues.
- On RF models, operate the retractable hardtop several times to ensure it functions smoothly without any binding or unusual noises. Inspect the soft top on other models for tears, leaks, and proper fit.
- Special editions like the 30th Anniversary and Club models with the Brembo/BBS/Recaro package are more collectible and tend to hold their value better than standard trims.
Prices for the ND Miata range from $2,000 for project cars to nearly $100,000 for rare special editions or professionally prepared race cars.
