2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary: A Limited-Edition Classic for U.S. Enthusiasts

Mazda celebrates 35 years of its iconic roadster with a special-edition MX-5 Miata exclusive to the U.S., featuring unique details, timeless performance, and limited availability.

Mazda’s beloved MX-5 Miata, a symbol of pure driving joy, reaches its 35th anniversary with an exclusive 2025 edition. U.S. dealers are now accepting orders for this commemorative model, priced from $36,250. Limited to just 300 units in the U.S., this special-edition Miata is available solely in Artisan Red Metallic, paired with a tan interior and beige soft top. Each car also comes with unique touches like a leather key fob and an invitation to an exclusive Mazda event.

Mazda unveiled the 35th Anniversary Miata at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, coinciding with the MX-5 Cup race and a Miata-only parking showcase. The anniversary model brings subtle yet striking updates, from its exclusive wine-red paint—darker than the popular Soul Red Crystal—to 17-inch multispoke wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. The interior exudes sophistication with tan Nappa leather seats, color-matched trim, and commemorative badging, including serial numbers on the fenders and embossed headrests.

Performance and Features That Stay True to the Miata Legacy

Under the hood, the 35th Anniversary Miata retains its spirited 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine, delivering 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and a soft-top convertible setup, emphasizing the car’s dedication to raw driving pleasure. Performance-enhancing features include Bilstein dampers, an asymmetric limited-slip differential, and reinforced shock towers—elements borrowed from the Grand Touring trim. Expect similar performance metrics to its predecessor, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds and a 0.90 g skidpad result.

Tech and comfort are equally prioritized, with heated seats, Alexa Built-In, wireless phone connectivity, Bose audio, and an 8.8-inch infotainment screen with built-in navigation. The car’s cabin showcases thoughtful accents like tan carpeting, floor mats, and climate vent trim.

Exclusive Ownership Perks

Every 35th Anniversary buyer receives a leather-wrapped key fob and an invitation to a special event celebrating the Miata community. While Mazda hasn’t revealed the event’s specifics, they’ve confirmed it won’t be a track day.

With limited production and a price starting at $36,250, the 35th Anniversary MX-5 Miata offers enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own a piece of Mazda history. Place your order now at Mazda dealerships to secure one of the 300 units destined for U.S. roads.
