The 2020 Mazda CX-5 vs the 2020 Hyundai Tucson

The Mazda CX-5 is a mid-size SUV designed for drivers who need an extra boost of power as they enjoy interior comfort, vehicle safety, and technology. This makes it stand out from its competitors, including the Hyundai Tucson. The CX-5 even has class-leading torque led by its powerful engine. Three variants make up the model line for 2020, including the GX, GS, and GT. 

When you want style that makes an impact, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 beats the competition

An SUV with strong qualities must have an eye-catching appearance, and the CX-5 doesn’t disappoint. The front fascia with its unique grill and headlights presents an assertive look that leads to a clean and aerodynamic body.

When compared to the generic aesthetics of the Tucson, it presents itself as the more memorable vehicle. The CX-5 also impresses with its standard exterior equipment, including: body-coloured door mirrors with integrated turn signals, unique rear spoiler, moulded roof rack, and more. 

The 2020 Mazda CX-5 has class-leading torque with impressive fuel efficiency

There’s no contest when the Mazda CX-5 compares its power and performance to the Hyundai Tucson. The base 2.5L four-cylinder engine creates 187 horsepower and a class-leading 186 lb-ft of torque at a low 4,000 rpm. With 25 more horsepower than most Tucson models, the CX-5 performs better when the situation requires more acceleration and load-carrying power.

The CX-5 outperforms the Tucson at the pump, whether you drive a FWD or AWD model. FWD trims achieve a fuel consumption rating of 9.7/7.8L per 100 per KM (city/highway). 

Although both vehicles include a 6-speed automatic transmission, the CX-5 adds manual shift mode and Drive Selection features. 

Safety surrounds CX-5 owners, and it includes a full complement of passive and active technologies that are less accessible or not included with the Tucson. A small sample of these features include: Hill Launch assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart City Brake Support, and Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System. 

Each interior of the CX-5 includes several standard features, many of which are sporadically available or absent in the Tucson. These include: Push Button Start, Electronic Parking Brake that includes the Autohold feature, split 40/20/40 rear seats with recline, and more.
