2022 Mazda CX-5 vs 2022 Honda CR-V

Advantages of the 2022 Mazda CX-5 over the 2022 Honda CR-v

The Honda CR-V’s base engine has a better horsepower output when compared to the CX-5. That said, the CX-5’s torque output is better. Not to forget, the CX-5 offers another 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain that produces up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque giving it a huge leg-up in the competition.

Coming to the interiors, the CX-5 is clad with high-quality materials all around. While the base trim comes with cloth upholstered seats, the higher trims are draped with leather upholstery along with power-adjustable front seats and heated and ventilated functions. The same can be said about the CR-V. However, the overall build quality CX-5 surpasses that of the CR-V putting it a step above the rest. As far as the features are concerned, every trim of the CX-5 is equipped with a 10.3-inch infotainment system that comes with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, and Mazda Connected Services. On the other hand, the CR-V’s base trim is void of important features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also, its five-inch touchscreen display in the base trim and the seven-inch screen on the other trims do not come anywhere close to what is offered in the CX-5.

 With an impressive list of safety features like Lane Departure Warning System with Lane-keep Assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind Spot Monitoring System with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Hill Launch Assist, to name some of them, the CX-5 is a whole rounded SUV in all aspects. This makes it a more fitting option.
