Official Unveiling and Production Start
Mazda introduced the ND Miata to the U.S. market on September 3 2014, and the first ND models rolled off the Hiroshima assembly line on March 4 2015. This launch set the stage for the 2016 model year, which was the first year the all‑new ND was sold.
Part of a Three‑Generation Evolution
Since its debut at the 1989 Chicago auto show, the MX‑5 Miata has undergone three full redesigns, with the ND representing the latest generation. Despite these redesigns over a 30‑year span, the MX‑5’s lightweight sports‑car spirit has remained largely unchanged.
Simple Trim Structure That Endures
When the ND arrived in 2016, Mazda organized its trim levels into three straightforward categories, a structure that has been carried forward to the present day. This streamlined approach makes it easy for owners to select the version that best fits their driving style.
Milestone of One Million Units
The MX‑5 Miata family reached the landmark of one million units produced almost exactly twenty‑seven years after the first MX‑5 left the line, underscoring the model’s enduring popularity across all generations, including the ND.
