Kinematic Posture Control

According to Mazda, KPC is a brake-based technology that helps lessen body roll, boost steering responsiveness, and improve the performance of the vehicle’s available limited-slip differential. Simply explained, KPC lightly brakes the car’s inner rear wheel while cornering at a high speed to pull the vehicle down.

2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible Trim Levels

A compact two-seat convertible roadster, the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata comes in three model levels: Sport, Club, and Grand Touring.

Each has a power-folding roof that can be opened in 13 seconds and looks like a hardtop coupe when it is closed.

Rear-wheel drive is standard on all MX-5 Miata models, and the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine cranks out an impressive 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
