Lighter, quicker and more nimble than its predecessor, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata demonstrates the power innovation can have when re-engineering a roadster from the ground up. In addition to all of the aforementioned improvements, the 2016 MX-5’s improved fuel economy can now be added to the list, with MX-5 achieving an EPA-estimated 11 kilometers per liter for city driving, 14 kpl for highway, and 12.6 kpl combined when equipped with the standard SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission.
This represents a 25-percent increase in fuel economy versus the 2015 MX-5’s EPA-estimated fuel economy when paired with the outgoing model’s available six-speed manual transmission. This highlights the benefits of the SKYACTIV Technology.
