2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata vs. 2019 Chevrolet Camaro

The Miata has seen plenty of generation upgrades throughout its 30 years of existence. While it has achieved quite a lot of recognition for its solid performance and revolutionary design, there are also plenty of other cars in the same category that is also promising. Ever wonder how the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata compares to an equally impressive car? The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro is a worthy opponent in this head-to-head challenge.

Design & Style

The versatility of the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata is perhaps one of its strongest design features. You can easily convert the car from a sports car into a stylish top-down automobile in minutes. This feature allows the driver to enjoy the car in all kinds of weather. The ergonomic design on its interior is also a noteworthy feature of the MX-5 Miata. While it is understandable how the cabin could be so small given that it is a small car, the lack of enough space is well-compensated by the level of comfort that the seat and the rest of the cabin design offers. 

As for the latest Camaro, the new fascia, rear lights, and other exterior tweaks are exciting. The interior styling, however, is a hit and miss with some elements missing a point. This is probably because of the aggressive styling approach that is applied did not go well with the rest of the cabin's design.

Technology & Safety

The 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata has a perfect mix of technologies inside its cabin. The connectivity integration, infotainment system, and the latest driver aids worked harmoniously to provide ample entertainment as well as reliable safety features.

The Camaro also received due updates for its infotainment system. It is, however, confusing as to why they have put the touch screen display at an odd angle. It helps that the display is made with a material that produces less glare. Standard driver aids, including a rearview camera, are available for the latest upgrade.

Performance

The four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine of the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata reaches up to 151lb-ft of torque and 181 hp. This is enough to deliver great road performance with responsive acceleration and dependable braking. The steering is also lighter and no problems with keeping the car centered.

The Camaro has either the V6 or V8 for its engine. It is no surprise that it accelerates very well and is quick to reach 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. Even with more power, the steering effort is a bit heavy and you need to be attentive to keep the car on the center.

The Bottom Line

There's no question about it, in terms of stability, performance, reliability, and consistency, the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata is way ahead of the latest Camaro.
