The MX-5 Miata lineup starts with SV and Sport, the simple soft-top roadsters. Touring adds convenience on older used examples. Club is the handling-focused branch; Club w/Brembo BBS Recaro Pkg adds a retractable fastback roof, stronger brakes, forged wheels, and more supportive seats. Grand Touring is the comfort choice, with leather, climate control, and upgraded lighting. The anniversary and launch models sit outside the normal trim ladder. The 25th, 30th, 35th, and 100th Anniversary editions, Launch Edition SV, and Special Edition use exclusive colors, trim, badges, and sometimes extra performance hardware or a retractable roof.
The Base Model trim level—SV and Sport—is the simplest soft-top Miata, centered on the lightweight, rear-wheel-drive roadster experience rather than extra handling or comfort equipment.
Best for: Drivers who want the essential Miata formula with a manual roof, simple controls, and minimal extras.
Highlights
The Mid-Level trim level—Touring—is the older convenience step-up, keeping the Miata’s simple character while making it easier to use regularly.
Best for: Used-car shoppers who want more everyday convenience than SV or Sport without moving to a luxury-focused trim.
Highlights
Adds daily-use equipment over SV and Sport, including cruise control, keyless entry, power locks, and a front suspension brace.

The Sport Upgrade trim level—Club and Club w/Brembo BBS Recaro Pkg—is the enthusiast branch, with sharper cornering hardware and a sportier cabin.

Highlights

On newer models, Club adds Bilstein sport shock absorbers, a front body brace, a limited-slip differential that improves power delivery out of turns, a track-focused stability setting, heated seats, and Bose audio.
In recent years, Club is the sharper driver's trim, with sport suspension and extra cornering hardware. Grand Touring focuses on comfort, adding leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, cornering headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and navigation.
On newer models, Sport is the simple manual soft-top, while Grand Touring adds heated leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, navigation, rain-sensing wipers, cornering headlights, and extra driver-assistance features.
In the latest lineup, that name refers to the RF Club. It combines the power-retractable roof and Club handling hardware with Brembo front brakes, lightweight BBS forged wheels, heated Recaro sport seats, and upgraded cabin trim.
No. RF describes the power-retractable roof and coupe-like body treatment, not a single equipment level. In newer ND lineups, the RF is associated with Club and Grand Touring rather than the entry Sport trim.
Touring was the middle trim during the earlier NC years. It added conveniences such as 17-inch wheels, cruise control, keyless entry, an auto-dimming mirror, and steering-wheel controls. Club replaced Touring in the lineup for 2013.
Sport is the straightforward pick in recent years. It keeps the manual soft top, rear-wheel drive, core safety features, and smartphone connectivity without the Club's extra handling parts or Grand Touring's comfort upgrades. The 2009 SV filled a similar stripped-back role.
Club is the enthusiast-focused choice in recent lineups. Its sport shock absorbers, body brace, limited-slip differential, and track-focused stability setting sharpen its responses. Some era-specific manual Grand Touring models also received Club-style hardware.
Grand Touring is the comfort-focused choice. On newer examples, it adds heated leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, navigation, and headlights that turn with the car, while retaining the Miata's compact two-seat layout.
No. Club has been the enthusiast trim since 2013, but its hardware changed over time. Models from the 2024 update gained an asymmetric limited-slip differential and a track-focused stability setting, so verify equipment by model year.
No. Grand Touring is generally the comfort-focused trim, and its equipment varies by era. One notable exception is the 2020 manual Grand Touring, which received the Club's sport shock absorbers, front brace, and limited-slip differential.
No. Their content varies. The 25th Anniversary added a retractable hardtop and hand-selected internal engine parts. The 30th added Brembo brakes, RAYS wheels, and Recaro seats. The 35th paired Grand Touring comfort with Club-style handling hardware.
