Is the 2020 Mazda CX-5 the Smartest Choice?

Right from the start, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 shows a big advantage over the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe by having a much lower starting price. Despite this $1000 gap, the CX-5 manages to offer more power and better fuel efficiency. The base trim gets powered by a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV®-G 4-cylinder engine that delivers 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. The Grand Touring and Signature grades, on the other hand, make use of a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo that shells out 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. In both cases, the CX-5 outshines the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe. Fuel efficiency is also higher on the Mazda model no matter what engine you choose.

The 2020 CX-5 also packs more features for your investment, including a standard 7-inch touchscreen, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector, automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a push-button start. In terms of safety, this model makes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert standard across the lineup, a technology that can only be found on the top trim of the 2020 Santa Fe. If you want to enjoy a premium driving experience, your best match is the Mazda CX-5 Signature trim, which impresses with Nappa leather seating and genuine wood accents.
