2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary Edition: A Celebration of Driving Purity
For 35 years, the Mazda Miata has remained one of the most beloved sports cars in the world, embodying the perfect balance of lightweight agility, thrilling performance, and timeless design. To mark this milestone, Mazda has unveiled the 2025 MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary Edition, a limited-production model that blends classic Miata elements with modern technology and exclusive styling.
Exclusive Anniversary Styling
The Mazda Miata 35th Anniversary Edition stands out with a striking Artisan Red Metallic paint finish, a color that embodies Mazda’s signature Takuminuri paint process, offering a deep, multi-layered effect. This special edition comes with a beige soft top, complementing the deep red hue, and 17-inch bright-finish alloy wheels that enhance its elegant yet sporty stance.
Further distinguishing this model, a color-matched rear spoiler adds a refined aerodynamic touch, while serialized badging on the rear fender marks its exclusivity. With only 300 units available in the U.S., this is one of the rarest Miata models ever offered.
Premium Interior with Special Details
Inside, the Mazda Miata 35th Anniversary Edition continues its theme of exclusivity with tan Nappa leather seats, featuring an embossed 35th Anniversary logo on the headrests. Matching tan carpeting and floor mats add to the refined aesthetic, while the interior trim around the AC vents and upper door panels is color-matched to the exterior, allowing the stunning Artisan Red Metallic to be appreciated inside as well.
Each 35th Anniversary Edition owner will also receive a bespoke leather-wrapped key fob sleeve, reinforcing the attention to detail that makes this Miata a true collector’s item.
Performance Enhancements for an Engaging Drive
Mazda has always prioritized driving enjoyment, and the Miata 35th Anniversary Edition is no exception. It comes equipped with several performance upgrades that enhance its signature lightweight and agile handling, including:
-
Asymmetric limited-slip differential – improves traction and cornering performance for a smoother, more controlled drive.
-
Shock tower bracing – enhances chassis rigidity, improving stability and steering precision.
-
Sport-tuned Bilstein dampers – fine-tune the suspension for a sharper response and a more connected feel to the road.
These enhancements ensure that the Mazda Miata remains a pure driver’s car, delivering an exhilarating open-top experience for enthusiasts.

-
Heated seats for year-round driving comfort.

Bose premium audio system for an immersive sound experience.
