2024 Mazda CX-5 vs. 2024 Honda CR-V: Which one to choose?

2024 Mazda CX-5

 

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V are among the most popular compact SUVs on the market. These versatile and attractive vehicles perfectly meet everyone’s needs. To help consumers make their choice, we will compare these two models in various aspects: design and comfort, performance and fuel efficiency, technology and safety, as well as price and value.

Design, comfort and performance

2024 Mazda CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 stands out with its elegant and sporty aesthetics. Its sleek lines and distinctive grille give it a refined look that few competitors can match. The CX-5’s interior, with its high-quality materials and meticulous finishes, creates a premium atmosphere that is noticeable at first glance. The seats offer excellent comfort, even for long trips, and the attention to customization details is unparalleled.

In comparison, the Honda CR-V offers a more classic and utilitarian design. While it is spacious and practical, providing plenty of space for passengers and cargo, it lacks the refinement and elegance of the CX-5. The materials are of good quality, but the interior design remains more functional than luxurious.

Performance and fuel efficiency

2024 Mazda CX-5

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 also excels in performance. It offers two engine options: a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder and a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The turbo version, with its 250 horsepower, provides a dynamic and responsive driving experience, ideal for those seeking an exhilarating ride. Additionally, the CX-5 boasts competitive fuel consumption figures, with approximately 8.2 L/100 km in the city and 6.9 L/100 km on the highway for the non-turbo version.

The Honda CR-V, on the other hand, is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower. While its performance is adequate for daily use, it does not match the power and responsiveness offered by the CX-5. Moreover, although the CR-V is slightly more economical with an estimated consumption of 8.7 L/100 km in the city and 7.1 L/100 km on the highway, the difference is minimal compared to the performance advantages of the CX-5.

Technology and safety

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is equipped with numerous advanced technologies, including an infotainment system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. In terms of safety, the CX-5 offers advanced systems such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. Mazda thus emphasizes secure and connected assisted driving, providing additional peace of mind for drivers.

The Honda CR-V also offers a range of modern technologies, but its infotainment system with a 7-inch screen and its safety options, while robust, do not quite match the CX-5’s offerings. The Honda Sensing Suite, although effective, does not surpass the advanced safety systems and connectivity technology offered by the CX-5.

Price and value

The Mazda CX-5 has a competitive base price, starting around $28,000. Mazda offers a comprehensive 3-year or 60,000 km warranty and a 5-year or 100,000 km powertrain warranty. Maintenance costs are reasonable, and Mazda’s reputation for reliability adds to its value, making the CX-5 a wise investment for those seeking quality and performance.

The Honda CR-V starts at a slightly higher price, around $29,500. While it is covered by a similar warranty and offers comparable maintenance costs, it fails to fully justify the price difference compared to the CX-5.
