2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF vs 2022 Toyota GR86

2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF vs 2022 Toyota GR86

The sports car market is competitive with which vehicle can outperform the other. However, the competition between the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and the 2022 Toyota GR86 is closer than expected, both featuring amenities that make driving more simplistic and powerful. However, only one vehicle deserves the spotlight: the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF. Continue reading to see why customers prefer the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF over the 2022 Toyota GR86.

2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 is ready to take your driving experience to the next level with performance that can dominate the road; technology features to further convenience your ride, and safety features that protect everyone at all times. The starting price is $35,000, which is fantastic considering the luxuries that are included to take your driving experience to another level.


The innovative technology featured within the Mazda includes a center touch screen display that lets the driver access a list of applications, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, HD radio, Sirius XM, and the Mazda navigation system. In addition, the Mazda is also equipped with several comfort features that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning consumers. These features include automatic climate control, heated seats, and the option of leather upholstery for added comfort and style. 


Besides the technology featured within the cabin comes the safety system that assists the driver in certain situations and has accident avoidance elements to keep everyone safe. For example, the i-Activsense features an adaptive front-lighting system, high beam control, lane departure warning system, smart city brake support, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Additionally, the car features two airbag systems that prepare and keep passengers upright in the event of an accident. 


Lastly, the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF comes equipped with an engine to perform like no other. The coupe comes standard with the SKYACTIV-G 4-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26/34 to extend your drive where you need it. The Mazda also comes built with a double-wishbone front suspension and a multilink rear suspension to stabilize your driving on uneven roads.

2022 Toyota GR86

The Competitor: 2022 Toyota GR86

The main competitor in the sports car market is the 2022 Toyota GR86. The starting price is $27,700, which is less expensive than the Mazda. This means that you can expect fewer features overall within the Toyota.


The 2022 Toyota GR86 is built with a touch screen display that features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and lets the driver access maps and voice control on select apps. The cabin offers an available eight-speaker setup for more surround sound throughout the coupe. In addition, the comfort features include dual-zone climate control and a leather interior. Overall, the Toyota GR86 lacks some of Mazda's features in terms of comfortability and technology. 


The 2022 Toyota GR86 has safety features that resemble the Mazda and help assist the driver in certain situations. For example, the GR86 Safety Suite includes pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle, cruise control, lead vehicle start alert, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. Though these features are beneficial to the driver, they lack some key aspects when it comes to collisions.


Lastly, the 2022 Toyota GR86 has performance features that resemble the Mazda. The coupe comes standard with a 2.4L 4-cylinder boxer engine that produces 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Though this is slightly more robust than the Mazda MX-5, the Toyota lacks the handling the Mazda offers in their sports car. The features look attractive but ultimately do not compare when put up against the Mazda.

 



WHY BUY A 2022 MAZDA MX-5 Miata OVER A 2022 Toyota GR86

Though both sports cars make for a great purchase with their performance features, it becomes evident that one surpasses with its features and capabilities. Therefore, the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF takes center stage as the overall better choice due to its long list of safety features and technology applications as well as the performance aspect of the vehicle. Hence, you can't go wrong by purchasing it. To learn more about the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, call Mazda of Lodi or visit our dealership today!
