2025 MAZDA CX-5 vs. Hyundai Tucson

2025 Mazda CX-5

Power and Performance

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 has two engines to pick from. The base is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder that offers 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine is a turbocharged 2.5-liter, four-cylinder that produces 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This new Mazda SUV also comes standard with i-Activ AWD® for performance you can rely on in any condition.
The Hyundai Tucson only has one engine: a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder that puts out 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This engine matches the horsepower of the Mazda model’s base engine, though it lags slightly behind in torque, and there is no upgrade available. Front-wheel drive is standard on the Hyundai model, while all-wheel drive will cost you extra.

Drivability

Mazda models have earned a well-deserved reputation for providing an excellent driving experience, and the 2025 Mazda CX-5 certainly lives up to this. This SUV has terrific agility and is just fun to take out on curvy roadways. It is also designed to offer a smooth ride through available Mazda Intelligent Drive Select. The Hyundai Tucson doesn’t provide nearly the level of enjoyment as the Mazda CX-5.

Comfort

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 has a spacious interior that accommodates up to five people. The seats are supportive and comfortable and come with cloth upholstery. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are also standard. The Hyundai Tucson also fits five, but it doesn’t come with as many standard comfort amenities, as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are only available features.
