Performance Packages

Both the 2021 Miata RF Club 6MT and the Grand Touring 6MT trims have standalone tunnel under bars, a front tower brace, and lower arm bar options. Those same trims have access to the Brembo/BBS Recaro package, which adds Brembo performance front brakes, 17-inch BBS alloy wheels, side sill extensions, a rear bumper kit, and Recaro heated seats.

Standard tech includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, a 7-inch touchscreen, a nine-speaker Bose stereo system, low-speed forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and a rearview camera.
