In the very competitive compact SUV segment, the #ToyotaRAV4 has always been the king of sales but the previous generation always suffered from being the Camry of SUV's with the boring design and driving dynamics. The #MazdaCX5 has always been the choice for enthusiast drivers and we brought together the #Mazda #CX5 Signature and #Toyota #RAV4 Adventure to find out which one of these small SUV's is the better option.
You only smiled while driving the Mazda, that says how much you enjoyed driving it.
GabeTube - Channel One Can’t argue with that. It was that smile that made us choose it as the winner. But it was very close and if we had young kids, the Toyota RAV4 could have won.
@@theredline Any word on whether current Mazda models' infotainment can be updated to what the new Mazda 3 has?
@@TylerBell it cannot as far as i am aware
Redline Reviews obviously you choose the Mazda...Didn’t think you surprised anyone.You could’ve put a 1999 Honda CRV against this RAV4 & you’d choose the CRV.
@@GuiltyNoticer fuck you
I love the CX-5...looks like a slightly wider, more raised up hatchback. Looks great, drives great. Some of the other brands need to take notes on how to design an SUV that’s aesthetically pleasing and doesn’t drive like a boat. Kudos Mazda
I purchased a CX5 Mazda Grand Touring. I'm loving it. Glad I made the right decision to buy CX5. You get more bank for the buck thank you so much
I’m sold - fortunate enough to be buying a 2019 CX-5 GT tomorrow.😄
So how do u find it so far Gail? Planning on trying one next week :)))
Hi Gail, I am in the Market for SUV., which one has more Value...??
MAZDA CX 5 GT or Toyota Rav 4 Xle
What is the approximate cost of Mazda GT...??
Congrats. Lucky Fucker!😁
Any updates on the vehicle?
How do you like yours? I’m going to buy my first car the Mazda Cx 2019 Touring
Ain't nobody going offroad. Get the Mazda.
You don't know that. I would go off road.. if I lived in the city.. but the rav4 is basically a city car lol just get that..
haha, a very real comment
Yeah, GoofYan really took them off road, up an incline and on to the grass.,....
Some people do.
😂😂🤣😂 classic yet true 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽👌🏽
I’m seeing a lot of Toyota fanboys upset in here lmao don’t get mad just tell Toyota they need to up there game and stop over charging for econo boxes with hard plastics. This is coming from a Lexus owner too so don’t call me a Mazda fanboy.
FACTS
Mazda fan boy xD
@@mymemesvideo 😒😒
I rented a fully decked out 2019 CX-5 (no turbo) in LA last November and I loved it. The driver aids took some time to get used to compared to my 2018 Forester. I loved driving up to the lookout on Hwy 74 above Palm Desert; the twisty roads made the CX-5 feel like a Hot hatch. The CX-5 was my 2nd choice when I bought my Forester, as it didn't have enough space for me to lay down in the back (I am 6'4").
Your reaction to driving the Mazda compared to the Toyota speaks volumes. I love my CX-5!!
Me too
everyone has different preferences and tastes
@@g_pazzini exactly why I said "your reaction" not everyone's reaction.
Gianpaolo Pazzini
Until the time of VVT actuators break down prematurely.
Which is why almost everyone I know buy extended warranty's on new cars and I know Toyota mechanics that buy them also.
We own a 2019 Mazda CX-5 Exclusive mode (Signature) diesel in Japan. 190 bhp 450 nm of torque. What can I say. This is the best crossover in the segment! Thanks Redline for this review!
I own the Diesel CX-5 in Australia and don't really like it. Engine is really noisy
@@JimboJones99 What's the mpg?
18 km/l
"The Mazda feels like something special that an enthusiast would like. The Toyota is like an Appliance" . Lol Lol Lol Lol
Like driving a washer
The RAV4 is like a vacuum cleaner; it sucks a lot of people in. In fact that would make an appropriate slogan: RAV4: It Sucks!
I agree
You are stupid
Actually, I think the Rav4 Hybrid would outperform the CX5 on a track. It may not feel as fun, but the power and performance are definitely there. Even if it didn't, the 2021 Rav4 Prime certainly will!
Just from the opening shot, I'd pick the Mazda. The Soul Red is stunning 😍
My family and I own a Mazda cx-5 so you'll know my vote
Tried them both. Bought Mazda.
Difference in quality is much higher than you presented it ...materials all over the car (even the trunk), sound insulation.. much more of a premium feel.
But it's car for dwarfs.
@@imho4990 lol you might be right I'm 5"2 and have a cx5 love my car though.
I have the Mazda CX-5 and I freaking love this car especially the performance
Any issues?
Your videos are top notch. I flew to Chicago from Omaha to pick up a used 2019 CX-5 Signature. I've watched way too many videos leading up to the trip and none come close to the quality, the details, the way you have all the information ready to go, keep up the great work man, really good stuff.
You get more bang for your buck in a CX5 and it’s way more elegant and less cluttered with the interior!
This is great for someone who was tossing between the two. Might be my bias over years of driving my family's Toyotas, but I think I'm gonna get the RAV. But thank you so much, your videos are amazing!
Mazda CX-5 all the way.
CX5 looks too feminine. Rav4 looks like a mini 4runner!
James well I respect ur opinion, but I disagree.
Tōjō Hideki u mean men* 🙄.
The Mazda CX-5 styling is super elegant and sporty at the same time. If u think it looks feminine I will respect ur opinion. But the way u just jump right in and say feminine men just becuz of the style then that means that u r a serious dumbass. Everyone has different tastes. Not everyone is as dumb as u. 🙄
Not the reliability that’s for sure
Justin Xu FYI I was talking about the “style”. The style has got nothing to do with reliability. 🤦♂️
I have a '19 Rav4 and I love it. But, if the town I lived in had a Mazda dealership I probably would have bought one. Both are great vehicles in my opinion.
That's NOT the point...... even 50 miles away is way too far for a dealership.
I've been thinking about these two, but I think you've convinced me to go with the Mazda!
Until you hit 100,000+ miles you will wish you had picked the Toyota.
mnpyton yep, just seen another Toyota go over 1 million miles
Get Toyota!
I own both and the Mazda has been extremely reliable and so has the Rav you want a SUV that gets from A to B and you don't care about driving get the Rav you want a SUV that puts a smile on your face every time get the Mazda.
You can get any car to do that depends on how much money you want to put into the car.
CX5 is Better. Bought one here at Illinois last Feb n its still amazes me until now! 👍
Battosai Himura88 how well does it handle ice and snow?
Been waiting for someone to pit these 2 SUVs against each other!
Yeah but comparing these two trims is not fair. It should have been touring to limited. Only this RAV4 package can tow that much the rest tow 1500 lbs. However, it was helpful on other levels.
@@annekrye Very true
Car and driver just did also in a very smart article.
Tip: Get the up-model CX5 Grand Touring Reserve. It's got the turbo engine (the regular engine is under
powered.) And the GTR is loaded with features that put it in the luxury class for this segment.
@@annekrye Indeed... I was about to say that, they outta compare as nearest specs to each other regardless what trim it is. Other can be much updated than other that would not execute than the other for your expectations.
Every time I plan on being productive, you post another brilliant review.
Hi I have a RAV4 trail now I enjoy driving it. Engine have lots of power the 8 spid transmission is smooth. Runs nice araund the curves it is sporty enough for me .the towing capacity 3500lbs is great this is one reason I got one.
I live in the country and drive lots of gravel roads. The RAV4 trail is a great car for me to drive.
3500lbs towing is becoming a rartity in compact SUV segment 😔 That is one awesome things about Rav4 Trail. Grab a hood blanket to quiet that engine noise and you're good to go!
Toyota for maximum interior space and available hybrid, Mazda for everything else.
Mazda wins for style and driving. Moreover, that orange design inside the Rav4 is going to get old real fast.
What a stupid comment. The Toyota clearly wins in design. They both drive good. None of them are sports cars. The Mazda is faster because of more power. The Toyota comes in hybrid model luxury model and off road model and sports Models all have different designs so the Toyota wins in design. The Mazda comes in no different grades it’s a boring choice. So all Cx-5 will look alike while the Rav-4 comes in cool different models giving it Character the Mazda doesn’t have
@@Toyota4Life lol this guy..
@@Toyota4Life butt hurt !
Mazda looks more feminine, Rav4 more masculine. Comes down to personal preference.
Toyota4Life aye ay stfu already
2021 Mazda cx 5 base model. 0 regrets.
If you are planning to lease the car you can choose whatever fits you. But if you are thinking of purchasing the car Toyota RAV4 is my recommendation out of the two. This is coming from a person that’ owns a transmissions (my specialty)/ mechanic shop for over 20plus years in Los Angeles. Toyota/Lexus cars are reliable. The parts for Toyota are cheap. So once it does break down it won’t cost you an arm. They can rack those miles up before I see them in my store for repair. Easily they can rack up 200k+ miles. Seen many 300k on Toyota brand and Lexus. Resale value is great too.
Jumee Hu My cousin’s two year old toyota highlander’s transmission just went out. The ac went out a few months ago. My Mazda’s are all still running perfectly after many years.
I still choose mazda the design is classy the driving is fun and responsive engine this would be my second car after my crv wagon
Had a 2007 Toyota Matrix over 420k mi. Loved it!!
I now own 2018 Mazda Cx5 Touring, LOVE IT!! Reminds me of the Matrix, but faster and a safer feel!
I have a 2005 Matrix and 2018 CX-5 also 👍
I love driving my 2015 Mazda3 on backroads. I’m definitely getting a CX-5 when the time comes to change my M3.
Sofyan, you mentioned that Mazda recommends premium fuel in the 2.5T engine. This isn't necessarily true. Mazda states that at lower octane, the hp is rated at 227, despite the 310 lbs ft of torque remaining the same. At higher octane that figure jumps to a maximum of 250hp. Mazda has never said that premium is recommended or necessary, as some turbocharged engines from other manufacturers require. I know you know this however, as I have heard you state it on other reviews of this engine. Outstanding comparison review by the way.
well that means that mazda DID recommend to use premium fuel to get the best out of it
@afarrel3195 To get the most power out of it, sure, but it will run fine on 87 octane. Some turbos from other manufacturers, unlike Mazda, REQUIRE premium fuel.
I'm constantly impressed on how you can give so much info and remember it all without constant cuts. Love the channel, keep up the good work!
He probably has cue cards behind the camera that the camera man shows as he goes through the presentation.
I'm surprised how we get zero objective data such as such as braking distances, 0-60, qtr mile times etc. and people are still impressed.
@@glennglenn1765 oof, you okay man?
I love the fact of how practical the RAV4 is: better visibility and more spacious cargo area.
"This is the one you're going to be more comfortable taking off road" yeah. Off the road into your driveway, off the road into the mall parking lot, off the road into the drive-thru...
Haha good review of both vehicles, though. Thanks!
You make super good reviews. I also drove the Rav4 and it was too loud and no get up and go for my taste. Mazda upgraded the info system for 2021. I just bought the 2021 CX-5 Signature in red and love to drive it.
My wife just bought the same RAV 4 as on this review and all I can say is WOW
Mazda CX-5 is the best compact SUV design wise and performance plus Mazda is a very reliable car as well. Toyota is only popular to consumers who doesn't understand driving very much but for petrolheads and car enthusiasts Mazda is their favorite to drive. Mazda all the way whatever model.
Agreed!
Mazda isn't very reliable these days. Go check out the JD power reliability index by brand. A car's for transportation, I don't need it to define me.
Johnny Tampocao who tf cares about "enthusiasts" for an family compact SUV? rofl. it's like selling 2 different sports car to enthusiasts and telling them which one has a bigger cargo space. Match your segment with your vehicle. 99% of consumers in looking for a vehicle in this segment cares about what's IMPORTANT to people purchasing this type of vehicle, and not which one accelerates 0.5 seconds faster.
Jack Liu - Porsche makes SUV’s
So do Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz.
Get Woke Already:
Performance and Handling DO matter to the above mentioned Car Makers.
And they are selling 100’s of thousands annually -
But You’re Butt-Hurt that
someone Knows and Says :
Mazda is stepping up to this new Standard.
Ohhh okkkaay 👌
@@nextleveljourney6612 toyota also sells around 400k rav4s every year. shitty "performance" doesnt seem to affect toyota's customer pool.
Regarding the engine, you hit the nail on the head. I have an '18 Camry with the same engine, and since the day I got it, I still feel that it is a very unrefined motor which is extremely surprising for a Toyota product. They either need to make it quieter like you said, or just make it better in general. It's buzzy for sure, especially when pushed hard.
If you value your money, you will buy the Toyota RAV4. It's reliable, it holds it value really well, and it's great on gas. Toyotas will last you for more than 20 years without major problems with giving them their proper maintenance.
Hahahha..
Toyota sucks🙏
New cars are no longer reliable....including Toyota's. Therefore, the Mazda is a better choice.....it has a soul and a personality
Max s Are living under a rock? Cars are getting more reliable every year. Even the most unreliable cars are reliable. Toyota still leads the pack in reliability according to CR, JD Power, etc.
Brian, if you think so ....stop basing your opinion on internet reading and magazines and get real world results...
True I agree with u Mazda just like toy
Mazda design always stunning
@Chelle thats not always true i have mazda 3 with 160k miles on it , still working like a clock without even a one check engine light since a i bought it , i believe as long as you taking care of it the car gonna take care of you
@@amr-50 160k, I though it was 250k
You haven’t seen Toyota RAV4 XSE...that’s looks better that this Mazda
Nice video. CX-5 you can choose beep, rumble, or steering wheel vibration for the lane departure warning.
The all new RAV4 looks Ssso much more better than the Old 2016 version (😬)
Have to agree, the redesign makes the Rav4 look much better !
and yet it's still fugly
Rav 4 hybrid beats cx5 for me. Mazda tech is behind as well compared to TSS 2.0. Also hyrbid is way more quiet and quick than the gas version.
3rd gen rav v6 beats them both put together when it comes to power haha
@@shamingandembrassingdriver2718 go ahead keep the old Rav 4 . Dinosaur.
@@dquarks wtf dinosaur?? Bahhaha, go learn some English ya dumb bastard hahahahah
dquarks Says the one who drives a clapped out Volkswagen Jetta.
Actually the Rav is behind and was way behind until the 2019 model and also the Rav still doesn't have Android auto and the Mazda blows the doors off of the Rav in handeling and acceleration Toyota has no answer to the turbo CX-5.
I like how the cx5 is still winning comparisons and it's about to be completely refreshed. It's going to kill everything in the class like the new mazda3 is.
Driving feel most likely. Cargo room, fuel economy, off-roading/towing, looks, etc.. Not likely.
@@shamingandembrassingdriver2718 Camry driver?
@@hertzvador2220 wtf?? What crack r u smoking?? Dumbfuk smh
Brad Lawson hello, do you know when the re design will take place cause I know the facelift was only 2019. I’m thinking to get the new Mazda CX-5 full option.
Mazda3 is not killing anyone in the class in terms of sales volume
Why always review the top line for each model? Most people will buy the regular version, so having a low to mid trim comparison would be more helpful.
Over $40k for a Rav4 that still isnt fully loaded?!
L T the adventure is between 34k-36k
He's incorrect the adventure trim is not 40k USD it's 32 can be spec to 37 rounded up to 38k
It starts at 34k
@@JJustinXu $32,900 maybe you were looking at the XSE not the adventure which is in the video.
kamary brown the XSE starts at 35k and can jump up to 43k, the adventure starts at 34-37k
Toyota is practical and economical but Mazda is more Luxurious and sporty. Depends on what your looking for really.
The Mazda diesel if far more economical than any Toyota hybrid
@panzer Ken Sofyan was testing the CX-5 turbo, there's no way anybody would not have noticed the instant 310 lb-ft of torque. As much as I appreciate Toyota for the reliability, there is no way to make up for the lack of power.
mazda is ford ok
@@jackychow123 not anymore.
Toyota 8 speed transmission is horrible....read Edmunds reviews
I love watching him enjoy the drive of the Mazda, where the Toyota is sadly just loud and average or below.
Mazda should put the new Mazda 3 frond design on the cx5 next year.
That is coming for sure, and it will be even better as there might be some new things coming from their design studio that might amaze us.
Just wait 😆 I can’t wait to see the interior cause it’s going to officially compete with the BMW X5 😃 and the CX 50 will look like the Mercedes GLC Coupe
I refresh my feed and find this, after a second hell yeah
The thing with the RAV4 is it needs around 1,000 miles to break in. The engine at first did feel sluggish. Right around 1k miles I noticed a definite difference in the engine. The power is more than adequate and I personally don’t mind the engine noise. As a college student I wanted something reliable, safe, and great on gas and the RAV4 was perfect for me! Also the infotainment system in the RAV4 was a big breaking point for me vs the CX-5. Also the CX-5 needing premium gas? No thanks. I got my RAV4 XLE Premium with 4k in options out the door for 30k! Sticker was 35,228.
Props to you spitting out all those facts so effortlessly! Very eloquent!!
What a coincidence. Car and Driver just compared these same 2 crossovers. Outstanding review.
WB Wayne big difference. Car and Driver actually gives us objective data to show handling, fuel mileage, performance etc. All of these Redline reviews are just fluff pieces that are totally subjective and offer zero shred of objective data. Stick with the car magazines for your reviews. These so called auto journalists are lightweights.
Great video, Mazda all the way, and the scenery is awesome!!
Better question for us Dave Ramsey types, which one will be better in ten to twenty years? We know Toyota is generally the answer for reliability.
Anthony h Toyota for reliability and cost of ownership without a doubt. Toyota also has better resale value.
Not necessarily, my last Mazda had 198K on it when I had to let her go.
And I drive it like I was mad at it every day, all day. Never did anything do it other then regular maintenance.
The interior of the Toyota looks cheap.
And if you like to DRIVE the Mazds as always wins hands down. Let's not forget that Mazda still refuses to use a CVT. Thankfully. That right there is enough to affect the reliability of the Toyota.
@@megaxboxx we are 4 months into 2018 so how is that even possible??
@Just think the corolla uses the CVT and there was already a recall on it
@Just think yea, just the corolla has the CVT
Part of why the CX-5 feels less roomy on the inside has to do with the black ceiling (which I love).
just test drove the Rav 4, Mazda def my choice between these two
Test driving both cars I found cx5 too cramped all over. I didn't feel a big difference performance-wise between the RAV4 hybrid and CX-5. Rav4 gas model on the other hand quite a bit slower and loud without the hood blanket (which doesn't come standard for some reason).
Yeah they are both good, I’m not saying the Rav 4 is bad, I just like the cx5 just a little bit better
I would love to see a comparison between the CX-5 Grand Touring with the GT Premium Package or this Signature trim, the RAV4 Limited, & the refreshed 2019 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate AWD since those are the cars in personally considering for myself
NileshR12 I was test driving the vehicles you mentioned then spontaneously drove a mile north to the VW and ended up with a 2019 Tiguan SE! Great deal, great feel and great to drive! And their new People First Warranty that is 6 year / 72k Miles. And mine has an emergency 3rd row. The Apple car play is awesome and the lumbar in the driver seat is great too. I almost went with Hyundai Tucson but the dealer in my area is awful. Let me know if you have any questions! Good luck!

This is an awesome video. Can't imagine how much time and research it took to get the info accurate. Thank you so much for making this video. You make videos on vehicles people will actually buy. As always, another great video. Thank you.
The RAV4 has changed over the years .... I like the new design
I'll give a thumbs up on that what you mentioned.. but I felt same after all trims and designe body wise looks same from 2013 to 2018... bought one in 2018 XLE Premium then trade it after 1 year with 2019 XLE Premium because of the body style caught my eye more masculine off road to it... 8 speed vs 6 speed ... after having now a year.. I feel like i'm in a truck.. don't get me wrong it'[s a nice vehicle, but the dash console does not appeals as much... interior like the door has plastic feeling to it, shutting the door doesn't sound/feel solid, I've notice just tapping on the body seems thinner metal which probably made a difference of fuel ecnomy is great on it tho they upgraded the engine they say but that plays the role if your vehicle is lighter! Eyeing on the Mazda CX5 now maybe for trade in. :)

Mazda CX-5 for sure
CX5 turbo is the best in its class of compact SUV.The driving dynamics of this car is high class and in a different level.
LOL
No hybrid
They should have the Hybrid XSE trim for the RAV4; that is, by far, the best looking trim and returns amazing fuel economy- two factors I believe should beat out the CX5.
And the hybrid is faster, handles better and much quieter then Adventure Rav4 trim.
uh No -- CX-5 Signature zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds - the Toyota Hybrid - 0 to 60 in 7.8 and the Adventure 8.5 - 9 seconds - even the non- turbo CX-5 is 0 to 60 in 7.5 seconds
franz wetrfres agreed 100%
I cracked-up when he said the Mazda infotainment was "Childish" 🤣🤣🤣
Justin Greenaway I own a CX5 and the infotainment is my biggest complaint. It truly does suck and it takes forever for the navigation to sync up. I hate it.
There is a suggestion for door closing sound: if you shut all the windows, the air pressure would created differential between cabin and outside. It may sound better than with opened window
He's checking for build quality and sound deadening. Opening the window doesn't change those things, besides most people open/close doors with windows rolled up.
Cx5 has everything right except room. It’s really small at the back seat. Very impractical for target market. That’s why it doesn’t sell much compared to other SUV. If it’s slightly bigger it would be a tough competition to Crv and rav4
I agree. Maybe a CX9 would be better?
Actually it doesn’t sell as well because the RAV4 has better cargo, better mpg, faster hybrid model (many can’t afford Mazda turbo), dated technology in Mazda, no room for tow hitch (have to aftermarket) obvious off road disadvantage, tiny interior in Mazda, but if you want driving dynamics the Mazda is a clear win
Completely agreed.
Hi Mazda (and pre-owned) sales consultant here and owner of a CX-5. you all know the Rav-4 doesn’t even compare to the CX-5. The way the CX-5 handles and drives more like a luxury brand puts it in a class above the RAV-4 and other competitors. Not to mention the styling of the exterior and interior beats any of these other plasticy interiors and outdated looking exteriors. Maybe I’m basis but I’m around all these cars all day everyday and hear customer feedback on all makes and models you can think of. Trust me, just go with the Mazda. You won’t be disappointed.
Mazda ruined it with cylinder deactivation. I've heard it is causing significant engine problems
I’ve sold cars for both company’s. I would easily recommend the CX-5.
Is the resale still peanuts?
Are we in a place now where Moms Midsize SUV is supposed to feel sporty to and from the grocery store?
Yes.
Mazda for me I like to have fun when I drive.
Uhm ita automatic transmission do u know that
@@ianrayflora3593 So? This is not a sports sedan lol for a family suv the Mazda at least for the driving aspect is more fun.
Classix it’s not a sport car don’t believe the bullshit
@@ianrayflora3593 Just get a high enough trim on the Mazda to get the paddle shifters. Or use the manual mode in the Mazda and you can have plenty of fun shifting through gears and keeping high rpms for torque combined with their superior driving dynamics
Good for a short term, but that car doesnt have no resale value at all.
I was with Sofyan until he said a fully-loaded '19 RAV4 hybrid would run $42K. Not to nit-pick, but a top-of-the-line '19 RAV4 Limited Hybrid NEVER reaches $42! I ordered one at under $40K and my dealer got it down to $38,500. Still pricey, but not $42K.
Jerry McAfee To be fair, when doing market comparisons, you will always compare MSRP

Great, another CX-5 video making me regret buying a Jeep GC lol
Probably the better build Jeep's.
Jonas Tonas You’d regret it if you look back bro... I’d take that Jeep over anything Mazda or Toyota would offer me
Different class but ok
the rav4 is a much more rugged outdoorsy kind of car. the mazda has a more refined look and feel. so whatever you want or want to pose as!
Sticker shock! $40,000. We need some reviews on these cars at the lower end. Ask them to provide you the base models for testing. Love your reviews.
meinasalon Yet people bitch moan about the cost of luxury vehicles but will drop $40K on a RAV4. 40 grand for a loud unrefined, underpowered, and uninspiring vehicle.
Some vehicles are much dif. from base model to upper trim.
greg black Like most vehicles are. A base Camry is very different from a XSE. Don’t see your point
People read these comments when they are shopping for cars . Just saying the obvious to us that a low trim car can be a totally different driving car than a loaded model. People should drive the very car that they are going to buy. Not perhaps drive a loaded car
Not drive a loaded car and maybe order a lower trim that’s not on the lot.
An Owners Observations: After a good offer from my Mazda dealer, I recently traded-in my beloved 2016 CX-9 ‘Signature’. As the ‘refreshed’ CX-9 is still a few years away, l opted to try a 2019 CX-5 ‘Signature’ (‘Snowflake White’), newly available with the Napa leather, Apple car play, ventilated seats, power folding mirrors & the same turbo as in the 9. I LOVE IT!!
I completely get Sofyan’s ‘grin’ & chuckle... the moment you touch the gas pedal (...not stomp, just touch), the CX-5 comes alive! Traditionally more of a ‘big car’ guy, I admit: the CX-9 is still more my cup of tea at core. BUT... the CX-5 is a great ride! And as other commenters have said: the premium fuel is truly optional. Having lived with the same engine for 3yrs in the previous car, you get the same 310 lb ft of torque with regular gas. I’ll spring for premium on a road trip!
Friday I loaded-up at Home Depot with 8 bags of mulch and 4 large plants. No problem. Yesterday we took the curved center section of a vintage sectional sofa to be repaired. It fit with no problem and there was plenty of room to spare which could’ve accommodated more stuff. So... Moving across country? That’s what U-Haul is for. For normal ‘daily-living’, there’s PLENTY of cargo space in the fun-to-drive CX-5!
7-weeks in and I’m still amazed by the level of refinement, handling, sound dampening and yes - luxury with which Mazda has infused this compact SUV. I’ll be perfectly content leasing this gem ...until the re-vamped CX-9 hits the streets! My partner is seriously contemplating trading his ‘17 Mazda3 Grand Touring sedan for the new 3 hatch this summer, making that our 5th Mazda!
Oh my gawdddd look at the color of that Rav 4 😍 lol by sales and of course reliability Toyota has been on top for sure
Actually Mazda is 3rd in reliability and Toyota is 5th.. so how do you figure that?
Leon N not good to use a company that is paid for being in advertising. wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/30/why-consumer-reports-and-j-d-power-are-so-different/
Toyota is too because there’s too many people that know nothing about cars in general. Such as the amount of Camry and corollas on the road, because people either don’t care or they’re just boring. Same goes with these. Mazda is second to Toyota in Australia over here, but rn Mazda is trumping everything in terms of design, power and interior styling
@@CODstarFTW Facts!
Just bought the Reserve model CX-5 for my wife about a month ago and couldn't be happier. I didn't think I would like it so much but it is so much fun to drive and for the price compared to the RAV4, it's a steal! Toyota has gotten way too expensive. A similarly priced RAV4 was like $43k, where as this one only costs us $34k+ttl. The only difference between the Reserve and the Signature is the 360 camera and leather from what I could tell. We got everything else which we're good with. I also like the RAV exterior but it is boring to drive, costs ALOT more and doesn't even come with Android Auto.
If you want something more stylish, more enjoyable and refined interiors to drive pick the cx-5 otherwise if you want something more practical and that holds the value, maybe hybrid or you think to keep it 10 years, get the rav 4.
Yes the RAV4 Hybrid is a much better option then both of these suvs by a LONG SHOT...... miles ahead in MPG, faster by a mile and less engine parts to go wrong!!! (reliable) What more could you ask for?
If u want car breakdown easy get mazda
The only thing the Rav has going for it is the hybrid model.
A base model CX5 blows a mid trim rav out of the water. I love my CX5
Quite love these two actually cant say the same about other crossovers
Why compare the Offroad edition of the new Rav4 with an on-road drivers focused CX5? Should have compared cx5 with the more powerful and sporty Rav4 Hybrid XSE.
James what? The cx5 doesn’t even have a hybrid your comparing a hybrid vs a Normal Powertrain how is that even fair
James why should driver focused cx5 be compared with hybrid focused rav4 hybrid? it should be compared with just xse.
@@rayyseason XSE sport model is hybrid.
@@f181234 CX-5 is a sporty drivers suv. Makes sense to compare to XSE sport model which only comes in hybrid.
@@f181234 Well, this is a comparison of a turbo vs a naturally aspirated engine - so how is that fair? The hybrid is only $800 more, gets better acceleration, a quieter engine, and incredible mileage.
RAV4 Hybrid XSE ftw. Crushes both of these and Toyota cannot make enough of them right now to keep up with the demand
Steve Russell except that the Toyota is a pig in performance..,.total slug!
yep - the Rav is fine if you don't care about the driving experience and only want to take kids to baseball practice - extremely disappointed by the 2019 Rav - but I would not know any better if I did not own a 2018 CX-5 - even my 2015 Rav has a much better engine than the 2019 Rav
Yuch. Stand by your choice is ok but yuch
Have you ever driven Mazda there is no way you could possibly say that after driving one. There is no comparison to a Toyota and a Mazda. The Toyota stears like a luxury liner and accelerates like it to. Simoly horrible and I can be objective because I own both a Rav4 and a CX-5
Kevin Robinson Have you driven the XSE hybrid? It’s very different. They are hard to find right now
This CX-5 is basically a raised Mazdaspeed3 without the manual.
Two great cars. Styling and driving-wise the Mazda for sure. Also, when are you guys in US moving to metric...rest of world has!
This was the ultimate comparison I needed! I was really on the fence about these two cars. I was a technician at Mazda dealership so I knew how well Mazdas handle and drives. But this video confirmed my decision to side with the Mazda. The last thing I need is a dull feeling SUV.
The last thing you need my friend is that direct injection engines lol.
@@moonsapling almost every new car engine nowadays is direct injection or multiport. Kepp up with decarb maintanences and it's not that big of a problem
@@jdlyw1692 i prefer not to pay for these special procedures. Toyota are clever enough to put both injection systems and not have funny problems like carbon build-up. Why dont other car brands put some effort and care about their customers? Thats why I choose Toyota. They care about how their cars hold up. Every new car being with direct injection only is not an excuse my friend.
@@moonsapling first of all I do my own maintanence for all of that being a former technician at Mazda so that's not an issue for me. Toyota certainly has the most consistent reliability of all manufactures and that's hard to deny. But as an enthusiasts I also need a car thar gives me more feed back and have a better driving experience, so for me, the CX-5 is a win. Not to mention Mazda has been doing great with new iterations of their Skyactiv engines in terms of reliability so again, keep up with maintanences and it'll last
@@jdlyw1692 the fun comes in different places on vehicles like the RAV4 or the Subaru Crosstrek.
I have a friend of mine with a lifted Rav4 and we often go to the mountains. I just love that thing. Once we were in a snow storm. We could not believe we are going through that deep snow. The car felt like our guardian. My friend turned the traction control off, stepped on the gas and it was glorious. Its just something different. Something people dont expect to see on the trails. By no means it is a real 4x4 but it still tries at its best. I wouldn't offroad a CX5 tho. It is still a nice car to drive around tho I dont hate it dont get me wrong. I just think manufacturers like Mazda and Subaru should invest a bit more in their engines.
Mazda just looks so much nicer. More elegant. I'd probably get the Turbo CX5.
it looks dated already
How is the reliability
LOL
I'm getting the turbo too. The normally aspirated CX5 engine is underpowered because of the vehicle's weight.
@Sinister Veritas What mileage on it?
Rented the new RAV4 and the refinement isn’t there. Loud engine with no power and NVH isn’t very good.
Typical Toyota, you can even trace the same traits in the new Lexus UX... just not enough value for me
Polestar Wes I've test driven the Limited & I didn't feel that
Of course, it’s a rental car. You dont feel the same to normal one.
NileshR12 Listen to every review on TH-cam and they all complain about the engine noise and NVH levels. So it’s not just me. Even this review complains about that exact same thing
@@v60polestar88 that's because he (for some unknown reason) is reviewing the gas engine rather than the hybrid engine. The hybrid is quieter, more powerful, and gets incredible gas mileage.
CX-5 vs RDX please!!!!! Thumbs up and get this to the top!!
Prudhvi Gottumukkala 2 different segments
@@DisforDamion87 True! But considering how good the Mazda is, they are comparable.
They could but it will be very slim. The Mazda CX 5 looks similar to the Infiniti QX 50. Mazda though is behind Acura in the premium sector
I've always loved the Mazda's red paint.
cizzane46 until it’s chip. Their paint is paper thin.
It's a gorgeous color. Also, it's a strong paint. I enjoy it
@@gngan and don't even get me started on how much it cost to fix them. The red is great, but an unique color means a very much more expensive repair cost.
They have beautiful paint just like Fords and Harleys...... but just like them their reliability SUCKS
@@zest167 my brand new soul red metallic mazda6 is being fully repainted by Mazda due to defective, thin paint. 7200CAD job. They are paying for it, thankfully.
I think a lot of conclusions are being drawn about Mazda in the comments as it pertains to reliability when we’ve yet to have enough experience or information on mazda these days to conclude it’ll be less reliable than the Toyota. Yes, Toyota’s are insanely reliable, but who’s to say mazda can’t be?
I actually just looked it up and Mazda is rated as #3 as a brand for reliability while Toyota is #5.
@@HeavyMetalorRockfan9 facts! I currently work for Mazda and my goodness they are so reliable!
@@Keithguinn97 :)
@@HeavyMetalorRockfan9 u guys just mazda fan boys...move from here with you'll shit bout reliability in mazda..mazda are weak ass vehicles
Abiril the Archer that’s just garbage facts. Who listens to that...
I am making a decision between these two exact vehicles, this video could not have come at a better time. Thank you!!
Good job doing this review
now i know where all the traffic cones went too in my area.... toyota used them for the interior trim...
The Toyota Rav-4 Hybrid is the best CUV overall 219hp, best fuel mileage, standard all-wheel drive, and standard safety features
Said nobody ever
@@flyinghigh2178 smh you gonna make a point or just be one of those people?
I test drove both and a subaru forester. Chose the subaru which surprised me.
WHY? DID THE FORESTER SEEM FASTER? IM TRYING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE 3
Grover Williams Drove so smoothly. The options for the money stood out. They have the suspension dialed in perfectly. Liked the visibility when driving due to the large windows. Not sure it felt any faster, but the way they have the cvt set up, I always felt like I had more power than I did. Resell value and safety ratings caught my eye too.
@@fleshrocker Sounds awesome thank you for your response.
Mazda all the way cant beat the torque makes the rav feel like a 🐢.
3rd gen rav v6 smokes the cx5 turbo easy hahahh
Rav4 vs CR-V makes more sense. Mazda is making vehicles that are more elegant and premium. On paper kinda makes sense to compare the two, but Mazda is more for grownups. Rav4 is still trying to capture the attention of the masses.
But "grownups" ARE "the masses" today. The median age in America is 38 and climbing every year.
@@Monkeyseemonkey79 He meant real "grown-ups" haha!
@light house yea best selling in the USA where people are sheep and get suckered in to the "reliable car" campaign.
Mazda is #1 in Australia where people are free minded and choose by the quality of the car and not because Kelly Blue Book said it's the best, which has always favored Honda.
Do your own research and drive in one and you'll be gaga over Mazda.
@light house cx5 more like a midgets car bahahaha
mazda just piece of junk
Mazda all the way long , reliable car ! I 'm 34 years a proud Mazda driver
Pretty much the cx5 and cx9 are good for someone who really does not want to drive a suv but is pressured to do so. (Wife).
I'm neither M or T, but using this platform for my purchase. Very informative. Thanks
