2024 MAZDA CX-5 vs Toyota RAV4
The 2024 Mazda CX-5, available from Route 9 Mazda, is at the top of its compact crossover SUV class. Designed for interior comfort and with a choice of engines, acceleration is quick and handling agile. By contrast, the Toyota RAV4 offers one engine and is built with inferior quality interior materials to that of its Mazda counterpart. Read on for more differences between these two vehicles, and if you have questions, visit Route 9 Mazda.
Performance
The standard engine offering for the Mazda CX-5 is a 187-horsepower four-cylinder. That output gives this new Mazda crossover a lot of get-up-and-go, especially when accelerating from a full stop. Choose the Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature and power and performance increases significantly thanks to a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine that produces 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. By contrast, even the top trim level of the Toyota RAV4 is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that tops out at 203 horsepower. The option for more power just isn’t there and with that comes a sacrifice in acceleration, handling, and ride quality.
Interior Comfort
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 Mazda CX-5 for sale at Route 9 Mazda is built with high-quality materials and a layout that makes it feel especially upscale. That luxury increases as you go up the trim levels and includes leather upholstery that feels downright decadent. The Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature in particular stands out for its interior style and comfort that includes genuine layered wood trim and Caturra Brown Nappa leather-trimmed seats,
Compare the Mazda CX-5 interior to the hard plastic and simple design of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 and it’s no contest.
