2020 Mazda CX-5 vs 2020 Hyundai Tucson
January 27 2020,
Now that the old family car’s on its last legs, the time has come to shop for the new do-everything, go-anywhere hauler. The temptation to shop among the countless number of available SUVs is impossible to resist and is the reason why you’ve ended up on Regina Mazda’s website.
Mazda currently has a very complete family of SUVs to meet your family’s needs. Mazda’s best-selling CX-5 compact SUV is one of the most complete in the industry but despite this, it’s important to compare the vehicle to a competitor. The 2020 Hyundai Tucson is an extremely popular and long-running small SUV and so, here we go.
Mazda strives to build some of the best vehicles in the world, as all other car company’s would claim, but all Mazdas have an edge, a premium edge. This mindset is immediately noticeable simply by looking at the SUV. The CX-5’s design is refined, loaded with character and unique. This approach is even more evident in the vehicle’s cabin. All materials and attention to detail are on par with SUVs costing far more money. Space-wise, both the Tucson and the CX-5 provide generous space for occupants and capacious trunk. Standard infotainment features include a 7-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for each SUV.
Now, the 2020 Hyundai Tucson is a recognized value leader in the segment however this lower price point does comes at a cost. Its starting price, set at $26,049, may seem advantageous compared to the CX-5’s $27,950 however consider the actual value of the Mazda’s added features.
The most basic CX-5 includes, for the price, 17-inch alloy wheels versus heavier steel wheels on the Tucson, a more powerful Skyactiv-G 187-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine which also happens to be more fuel efficient than the 161-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in the Tucson, and we’ve barely scratched the surface.
A compact SUV is the answer to all family mobility questions and this includes heightening the driving experience for those seated in the driver’s seat. For the performance-oriented driver, Mazda has a turbocharged 250-horsepower Skyactiv-G 2.5 T engine. Finally, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 can optionally feature a torque-rich and extremely frugal Skyactiv-D diesel engine.
The 2020 Mazda CX-5 is also far more visually appealing, combining style with substance. It’s premium approach captivates and the drive seals the deal.
