2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring
MSRP $36,965 including destination and delivery, against MSRP $35,165 for the Club one rung below. This is the only MX-5 Miata trim offered with a six-speed automatic, and it adds leather and heated seats — while trading away the Brembo BBS Recaro Package the Club can be optioned with. Same engine, same rear-wheel drive.
What the Grand Touring Adds Over the Club
Both trims run the same 181-hp SKYACTIV®-G 2.0 to the same rear wheels, so the move from MSRP $35,165 to MSRP $36,965 is about how you drive it and what you sit in. It is also the one step on this ladder that gives something up, and that is stated below rather than left out.
A Six-Speed Automatic, Available
The Grand Touring is the one soft-top trim offered with a six-speed automatic and steering-wheel paddle shifters, as an alternative to the standard six-speed manual. The two trims below it are manual-only, at any price.
Leather and Heated Seats
Leather upholstery, heated seats and the fuller comfort and technology list — the equipment that makes a two-seat roadster a car you would take on a long weekend rather than a Sunday morning.
Comfort Instead of the Track Package
The Grand Touring does not offer the Brembo BBS Recaro Package the Club can be optioned with. That is the trade this rung makes, and it is the reason a Club buyer and a Grand Touring buyer are rarely the same person.
Where This Trim Sits
Three trims, one engine, one drivetrain. The two rungs below are the only ones a Grand Touring shopper is usually still weighing, so they are the only ones compared here — the full ladder, the colour palette and the rest of the specifications are on the MX-5 Miata model page.
Sport
Club
Grand Touring
Choose the Grand Touring If…
You want an automatic, or you want leather and heated seats, or both. This is the only trim that offers the automatic at all, and the comfort equipment comes with it.
Choose a Trim Below It If…
The track hardware matters more than the cabin. The Club below carries the sport-tuned setup and is the only trim that can be optioned with the Brembo BBS Recaro Package — and it is manual-only.
MSRP includes destination and delivery. Excludes tax, title, license, a $895 dealer documentary service fee and a $16.50 tag fee.
What the Step Up Does Not Change
Worth stating plainly, because it is half of the decision: every figure below is identical on this trim and on the two beneath it. What this step changed was the cabin and the transmission choice — nothing in this section.
SKYACTIV®-G 2.0
- 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm
- 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm
- The same engine on every trim and both transmissions
- Regular unleaded
Rear-Wheel Drive, Every Trim
- No all-wheel drive is offered on any MX-5 Miata trim, at any price
- A six-speed manual is standard on every trim
- This is the only trim that offers a six-speed automatic
29 MPG Combined
- 26 mpg city / 34 mpg highway with the manual
- 26 mpg city / 35 mpg highway with the automatic
- Two seats and 4.6 cu ft of trunk space
- 3-yr/36,000-mile basic and 5-yr/60,000-mile powertrain warranty
The Grand Touring at Dean McCrary Mazda
The Grand Touring is the top of the three-trim MX-5 Miata ladder at MSRP $36,965, including destination and delivery. The trim directly beneath it, the Club, is MSRP $35,165, and both run the same 181-hp SKYACTIV®-G 2.0 to the same rear wheels — so that $1,800 difference in MSRP is comfort equipment and a transmission choice. Dean McCrary Mazda stocks the MX-5 Miata lineup on the I-65 Service Road in Mobile.
Is the Step Up Worth It?
It depends on which kind of MX-5 Miata you are buying. The Grand Touring is the only trim offered with a six-speed automatic and paddle shifters, and it adds leather and heated seats — so if you want either of those, the trim is the only way to get them. What it does not offer is the Brembo BBS Recaro Package the Club below can be optioned with, which is a genuine trade rather than an oversight: the Club is the track-hardware trim and this is the comfort one. Everything mechanical is shared — 181 hp at 7,000 rpm, 151 lb-ft, rear-wheel drive, 4.6 cu ft of trunk — and the EPA figure moves only with the gearbox, at 26 city and 34 highway with the manual against 26 city and 35 highway with the automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the MX-5 Miata Grand Touring?⌄

What does the Grand Touring add over the Club?⌄
The option of a six-speed automatic with steering-wheel paddle shifters, which no other MX-5 Miata trim offers, plus leather and heated seats. It also gives something up: this trim does not offer the Brembo BBS Recaro Package the Club can be optioned with.
Is the Grand Touring quicker than the trims below it?⌄
No. All three MX-5 Miata trims use the same 181-hp SKYACTIV®-G 2.0 with 151 lb-ft of torque, on both transmissions.
Is all-wheel drive available on the Grand Touring?⌄
No, and not on any other MX-5 Miata trim either. Every one is rear-wheel drive.
Can I get the Grand Touring with an automatic transmission?⌄
Yes — and it is the only MX-5 Miata trim you can. The six-speed automatic with paddle shifters is offered as an alternative to the standard six-speed manual, and the EPA rating with it is 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.
