124 Spider Has MX-5 Miata Ties

The 124 Spider is a front-engine/rear-wheel drive roadster with a manual soft top. It debuted as a 2017 model in the US.

Developed with Mazda, the 124 Spider is closely related to the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and is assembled in Hiroshima alongside its relative. The 124 uses a Fiat designed and engineered turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque and comes with a 6-speed manual or available 6-speed automatic transmission ($1,350 extra).

The Miata uses a Mazda Skyactiv-G naturally aspirated (non-turbo) 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that’s tuned to produce 181 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. Though the 124 and Miata share a platform with a similar suspension layout (double-wishbone front/multi-link rear), the two vehicles are tuned differently, and the 124 outweighs the Miata by 100 to 200 pounds, depending on configuration. Pricing on the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata starts at $25,730.
