Automatic high beams and traffic sign recognition is standard on the Grand Touring trim level.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also now standard on the Club and above trim levels.
For buyers that have wanted to luxury features of the Grand Touring trim level, but the sportier set up from the MX-5 Miata Club will be happy to hear that the 2020 Grand Touring models with the six-speed manual, now get Bilstein shock absorbers, a limited-slip differential, front shock tower braces, and a sport-tuned suspension.
