Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2)

The Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) reaches 60 mph in 6.00 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.49 s, tripping the lights at 95.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.22 s and the eighth mile in 9.34 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the MX-5 2.0 (ND2)

The 2019 Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,045 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 173 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 173 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.22 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,949th quickest to 60 mph, and the 8th quickest of the 30 Mazdas here. It leaves better than it pulls: 95.1 mph at the lights is only the 2,132nd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
