It is easily one of the most popular compact crossover SUVs available at Gordie Boucher Mazda of Janesville.

2021 Mazda CX-5 Advantages

As you can see from the comparison table above, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 trumps the Toyota RAV4 with its premium turbocharged engine option. Thanks to the higher horsepower, the Mazda CX-5 accelerates faster than the Toyota RAV4 and the higher torque means the CX-5 is capable of towing up to 2000 pounds, whereas the 2021 Toyota RAV4’s maximum towing capacity tops out at 1500 pounds.


The 2021 Mazda CX-5 comes with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters which provide a fun-to-drive factor while giving you more control over gear selection. Also, the Mazda CX-5 features G-Vectoring Control Plus which helps create a smoother, more comfortable ride which is further enhanced by its comparatively longer wheelbase - - something that the Toyota RAV 4 lacks.


Another area where the Mazda CX-5 has a clear advantage over the Toyota RAV4 is the interior space. It offers more front headroom and front and rear legroom, making its cabin comfortable for taller passengers.


In terms of technology features, the Mazda CX-5 comes with an 8-inch color infotainment touchscreen display as standard on all trims, whereas the RAV4 offers it only on the higher models. The Mazda CX-5 also offers a Heads-Up Display that provides critical information such as your car’s speed, the road speed limit, and turn-by-turn navigation while your eyes are still on the road. The same heads-up display lets you see information from Mazda’s i-Activsense driver assistance systems which include, Blind Spot Monitoring, Radar Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Smart Brake Support.
