2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Trims Comparison

Both trims feature rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 151 lb-ft of torque) and a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic with paddle shifters is optional, but only with the Grand Touring trim. Get the automatic, and you'll do without a few handling upgrades that come standard with the manual gearbox.

This year, the Club is the more expensive version of the Miata RF because it includes the formerly optional Brembo/BBS Recaro package as standard equipment. Additionally, the Club is now available only as a build-to-order vehicle.

Club
For maximum handling, the Club trim is what you want. It includes:

• LED headlights and taillights
• Black exterior trim and detailing
• Keyless entry with push-button ignition
• Air conditioning
• Tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
• Cloth upholstery
• Heated seats
• Nine-speaker Bose audio system
• 7-inch touchscreen infotainment
• Two USB ports
• Wireless Apple CarPlay
• Wired Android Auto
• Satellite radio

To enhance performance, all MX-5 Miata RF models with a manual transmission have:

• Shock tower brace
• Limited-slip differential
• Sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers

For 2022, the Club trim also includes the Brembo/BBS Recaro package in its base price:

• 17-inch gray BBS forged aluminum wheels
• Brembo front brakes with red front and rear calipers
• Aerodynamic body kit
• Recaro sport seats

Standard safety features include:

• Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
• Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
• Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

• Adaptive headlights (headlights swivel to illuminate the road in turns)
• Heated exterior mirrors with auto-dimming glass on the driver's side
