The 1999 Mazda MX-5 (NB), known as the Mazda Miata in North America, is the successor to the Mazda MX-5 (NA).

Mazda removed the pop-up headlights due to pedestrian safety risks and no longer rebadged the car as the Eunos Roadster in Japan.

The 1.8L inline-4 engine from the first generation was kept for this generation but with minor revisions including a variable intake control system which increased the power output.

The NB model generation underwent a facelift in 2000 and was replaced in 2006 by the NC generation.
