The current Mazda MX-5 covers up to 794 km on a full tank, based on combined-cycle consumption. Figures below are the best-range variant in each generation.
| Years | Powertrain | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1990–1998 | Combustion | 577 |
| 1998–2004 | Combustion | 617 |
| 2004–2005 | Combustion | 641 |
| 2005–2009 | Combustion | 685 |
| 2009–2013 | Combustion | 714 |
| 2013–2015 | Combustion | 704 |
| 2015–2024 | Combustion | 833 |
| 2024–present | Combustion | 794 |
Range is calculated from each variant’s fuel tank capacity and combined-cycle consumption (tank ÷ consumption × 100), for the best-range variant in each generation — real-world range varies with driving style and conditions. Figures outside a plausible range for the tank size are excluded.
