- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2024
- The Hyundai Tucson is a top-selling compact family car/SUV, but an all-new version of its Mazda CX-5 rival recently arrived in South Africa, bringing with it a host of improvements in terms of design, refinement and safety features. A direct comparison between the Korean and Japanese products was inevitable!
For this in-depth comparative video review, we pit the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi Elite derivative against the equivalent Mazda CX-5 2.2 DE AWD Akera to determine which is the better buy. Both are range-topping derivatives featuring automatic transmissions and powered by turbodiesel engines.
Does the handsome Hyundai Tucson have what it takes to best the suave Mazda CX-5? Watch the video to see how they stack up!

I own a mazda 3 and 13 years later my car starts every time , no rust same exhaust , everything works even the aircon.
Same with my 2000 Mazda 626. Amazing
In terms of tech, you forgot to mention the CX-5 also has a heads up display, that shows your speed and directions from the sat nav.
Mazda looks amazing, interior is great and just right. Mazda for me
Stanford Mazhindu it even comparable with audi style
I really enjoy these kinds of reviews..well done Ciro 👌👌
In Australia, the packaging is quite different. The Tucson reviewed in this video is like the second-lowest spec available here, not the highest spec as the local packaging in South Africa. AWD, Power Tailgate, and other features absent from the Tucson in this video are available in the two higher spec levels out of the 4 in Australia. They are labeled Active, Active-X, Elite and Highlander from base to top spec.
The Tucson out-performs the CX-5 in all equipment levels and handling (by a lot due to Australian suspension tuning division here), refinement is noticeably higher on the road, and it's a little cheaper. The personal preference of buyers toward brand and design/styling may appeal more to Mazda owners in our market, but value, quality, refinement, equipment and handling all fall in the Tucson's favour over here, hence why Tucson is outselling CX-5 by an increasing margin each month... This is all relative - I closely reviewed/drove/shopped these two against each over for a month before purchasing the Tucson.
Oh, and my other car is a Mazda ;) I still love them. Hope this helps any Aussie buyers!
Hey mate! Fellow Aussie here.
How is your opinion aging on this after 5 years? I’m currently looking at buying a second hand SUV (2015-2018) and am guilty of leaning heavily towards Mazda. Seems like I could get a lot more value for money with a Tucson though..
What do you think?
@@Michael-gq9cd Sorry I’m not much help on this now. We sold the Tucson because we wanted to tow and go off-road. We have been in a Pajero Sport and find it’s awesome. 👍
For the time we had the Tucson we couldn’t really fault it. No issues with it. Dealer servicing wasn’t a great customer experience each time, but that’s not a fault of the car. During the peak Covid demand cycle, we sold it with just over 60,000kms on the clock for about $6k less than we paid for it new 4 years earlier. It was a 2017 Active-X. 🙂
I'd say the Mazda wins hands down
The coolest thing about the Top Trim CX-5 is the Head Up Display. Although, the Tucson does have a panoramic sunroof/moonroof, but if you've ever used/seen a HUD...it's really nice and convenient. Not to mention...it keeps your eyes on the road
ahhh guys i just have to point out some facts here. 1st of all i own both these cars since i have a car rental business. 2nd my tucson has electric tail gate and it is automatic so BS is what the dude said , it has massaging seats, HUD , ambiente lights , 7 speed dual clutch transmission , heated and cooled steering wheel , automatic wipers and lights control , lane keep assist , blind spot sensors , emergency brake and e-hand break and auto parking and it is a lot more comfortable ( maybe the dude is talking about 2015 model) and on the mazda , the quality of interior matterials is conciderably better , cabin is a bit more quiet , seats are softer and wider and the a/c is colder. oh in my opinion the tuson rides better since its lighter. btw the tucson is awd.
Hey Alex, in all likelihood you aren't South African, Hyundai didn't add those fixtures for us :-(
Mazda has really up-ed the game
very nice review
Hyundai has come along way but the Mazda is more practical and so is the clear winner here for me. Great Vid as always!!
Thanks for the great and non-bias review.
BRAND NEW Mazda CX-5.....3 MONTHS MORE to go, A Great Birthday Present for myself.
A New and happy subscriber here!
Boy Pazaway I own a 2017 cx5 and it’s an amazing car. It drives so well, I hope you enjoy yours! Welcome to the Mazda fam
I did get on both cars and personally I liked the Tucson because it felt alot more spacious than cx5. But cx5 definitely looks better.
excellent review
I would take the Mazda CX-5 any day
must be the region and country, but damn this feels like a top tear cx-5 vs a mid tear Tucson. This Tucson in the video has no AWD, no autolift gate, no inlane keep assist, 19 inch stock rims, shark pin antenna???? My tucson has ALL OF THAT, and bending headlights, blind side detection, auto pedestrian breaking, trajectory when in reverse and parking.
In India it is also that Tucson has all the features missing here,hence this comparison is a bit meaningless and irrelevant
Here in Quebec it has all of the features to
In Croatia also the Tucson has all features of high tec and even more as cx5 shown here.I dont know how tha f... he said in this video that this tucson is top trim level?!
I'm definitely not a car guy, but I'd do my homework before doing a review. The Tucson - at top trim level like the shown Mazda - features every bit of technology available today. Add to that the AWD which really puts the hammer down in terms of torque, and a price far more competitive than the Mazdas, and you're looking at the best SUV in its class. It did beat every test done in Germany, always putting the CX-5 in second place. Rightfully so.
Or paid by Mazda
Mazda cx5 best value in this segment with quality materials thats long lasting. An amazing car with class, economy, power & ride quality. Best investment 👌
Before watching the video I'm gonna give my guess as to which wins and also which I will choose. I think it will be the Mazda and that's what I would choose
This guy always does a splendid review.
smooth review , takes his time
The 2.2l diesel awd cx5 is simply amazing , I've got a Mazda 6 2.2l diesel sedan too 😅 love diesels!
how much mpg u get with mazda 6
I also choose the Mazda....
I also discovered that by lowering the Mazda CX-5 springs a bit & installin the 2021 BMW X5M competition rims on the Mazda CX-5 makes it look more sportier than a 2018 VW Tiguan R-LINE 🔥🔥🔥
I like the 1.6L turbo Hyundai Tucson...
The Mazda also looks better. It's stunning.
I luv Tucson but something bout that Mazda. The look, the grill 😍
Mazda drivers seem happy and unbothered. My next car is definitely a Mazda
Mazda offers driving thrills and reliability, who wouldn't be happy🙂
Mazda doesn't compromise on safety and comfortability. If u can afford one buy one
Agreed 😄
In the UK the Tucson top of the range called Premium SE has sooo much more standard tech than the CX5. Including self parking, lane keep assist and a power rear door. Don't know why the SA one is less specc'd.
Two excellent SUVs but tough to beat that CX-5 right now
Definitely agree on the Mazda CX-5. I would go for the 2.5l Petrol version though, as it has the same tech, but 60K cheaper.
Can you also review the Tucson N Sport? Please
Great comparison! Thanks. Both of these are on my shortlist. I would choose the Mazda if they release the diesel in the US, otherwise I've got a few more to check out and compare.
😂😂 To all the haters who believe this, this is the actual spec of the Hyundai Tucson 2017 I'm ordering, this car is definitely up to date on it's specs he's just not up to date on the car.

+beckyhoulstonable Hi there, thanks for the comment. Are you based in South Africa?
Cars.co.za No problem just thought I'd update you on the specs. I'm based in North West England
Here in Aussie Mazda got a good reviews but the Tucson is much better in terms of value for money. That’s why there’s a lot of them on the road right now. And it’s a good looking car. It’s ride quality is perfect and tuned in Aussie conditions. We got 5yrs unlimited warranty etc. Mazda maybe better in reviews but the Tucson is dominating the road.
Mazda CX-5 is better choices more reliable comes with more options and you don't have to get top-of-the-line model to get navigation and backup camera and all that other stuff because mazda's come standard with that
Great jobs!i bought the 2017 cx-5 awd gs canada edition
The Hyundai Tucson feels more solid on the road, quieter and YOU CAN get it with a powered tail gate....
I'm not sure where they are but where I'm at you only get two options with the Hyundai 2.0 NA gas engine and 1.6 turbo engine and the No Diesel option on the Mazda either. But you are right, almost all trim models come with the powered gate on the Hyundai here (US)
Mazda is more expensive but it is clearly superior. But I'm happy with my Hyundai Tucson may not have all the bells and whistles of the Mazda but it does its job nonetheless
What does he record with
Great review ! very nice presentation and detailed. The CX5 is a clear winner.
Would be nice to see the RAV 2.2 VX would compare. Well done to the Mazda.
The Mazda is the better car but lets not forget we are comparing it with the Tucson which was launched 2 and half years ago and absolutely belted the CX 5 of that era, its all relative and in a few years when the new Tucson comes out the roles will be reversed again but lol about people saying Hyundai loosing styling edge, when this Tucson was released in 2015 it was so far better looking than the competitors it was a gag! Mazda now does look very smart .
Great review Ciro
The mazda is gorgeous 😍
You’re wrong about not being able to order the automatic lift gate on the Hyundai. Mine has it
Hi Cesar, sadly it is not available in South Africa. Glad you have it though!
Hyundai for me
Subbed.. mazda any day no hesitant
Good information. please do the same for Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux
Vukile Fada I believe they already did a comparison back in 2015
I have an older version of the tucson, while the ride is confy coz of the seats, some parts deteriorated quickly. The shock absorbers were replaced, the springs, the door handles are broke, the muffler has a hole under so it’s a bit noisy, interior materials are now in bad condition it react to sweat, to many to mention. I also have a mazda cx5 but with just minor issue.
Good to know I’ll go for CX 5
please do a cx-5 vs tiguan comparison
Isn't that Tucson available with all wheel drive ? Despite with less convenient cabin than CX5, Tucson has more HP engine
Mazda wins by far. Hyundai has a nerve to think they can charge so much for their cars when the interiors still look dated and their tech and drivetrain technogy isn't up to scratch yet
Mazda please!
lmao I love your reviews
Great work guys, I'm a first buyer straight from university, what would be the most appropriate car to buy.
A used E90 BMW 330i. Still looks good, powefull engine and won't put you into massive debt at about 150k to 180k depending on the year, it is a good choice.
I would take the mazda due to doing alot of mileage. Unlimited km warranties is way better if you do much mileage
Mazda cx5 love it
Mazda has 19 inch wheels, not 18 inch. I'll get my new 2017 CX-5 2.2D A6 in one week. Can't wait!
nice! i got the 2.5L petrol i love it !
dvgd999 . How is the fuel consumption on the 2.5
only high school boy driving platic made mazda
Voetsek
i bought mazda cx5 no regrets
Please do CX-5 vs Tiguan
Cx-5👍🏾
Zoom-Zoom looks waaay better... therefore victory to Mazda
HYUNDAI Tucson 💯 por 💯👍😁❤️
Drag Race between these two cars will do?
Lol🤣🤣🤣
I bought a 4wd Tucson because Hyundai actually has some rust proofing underbody and Mazda are atrocious for their lack of it. I am an MOT tester in the UK for 30 years and have seen the state of all Mazda's after 4 years
Can you pull out anything to prove it your statement? I'm willing to buy an SUV and I'm really stuck between these two. I can't decide. Honda CR-V somehow I don't like, VOLVO XC40 maybe if I get a good deal, but average too expensive, and forget the other german SUVs for 40-50k euro.
andytnr I had a 2013 Mazda 3 and it has an option for if you want to get it rust proof. I had it for 4 years and not once did it rust and now I own the 2017 CX5 and it’s hands down amazing. I wouldn’t really speak on a car that you don’t own. Remember, not all people take care of their car
Great cars but for that money I would rather buy a demo Toyota Fortuner or Ford Everest that is less than 1 year old and has spent most of its life in a showroom
Hardly a fair comparison if that's the best options you get with Tucson in this market
I think the mazda cx5 will hold its value a little more than the Tucson
Kindly review Hyundai Tucson 2018 with full options..
you would surely have different opinion.
This is a South African channel - this is the top spec in this region...
I wish the Mazda had a similar 19" wheel design as the 2016 Akera... I'm not too keen on the look of these wheels and btw the Tucson top tier model here in Oz has quite a bit more features than the SA version (sad).
My Tucson has reclining rear seats. Hi from Long Island New York.
Mazda wins engine security and eficence ...
Hiunday wins desing and equipament ....
Mazda the best
mazda boot is 506 not 440 liters, just sayin, it's a pity u didnt show, how wide the sunroofs really open...the mazda seems to be more expensive but offers more equip for you money, if u configure them, u will see, they are priced similarly.
The Mazda looks to win, but only a 3 year warranty?!
You need to give the power and torque figures
ya they forgot it b/c hyundai is the faster car. this review was made to make the cx-5 great and the tucson inferior. the review speaks for itself as they use a top trim cx-5 vs a entry level tucson.
Top of the Tuscon in uk has more equipment than the one in this vid.
I drive a Kia, which is, in a nutshell, a Hyundai. What I have noticed is that, although the Kia/Hyundai group has come a long way, they just feel a bit last generation compared to some rivals. Small things like automatic windscreen wipers are always left out. It's 2017 Hyundai! Wakeup!
Euhm the automatic windscreen wipers come as standard on the base model of the Tucson which was released in 2015. I'm afraid, that it's your information that's feels a bit outdated...
I owned a new top of range Tuscon and sold it as quickly as possible (12mths) because of the poor quality of plastic materials & too many gearbox faults.
Both are Worthy Vehicle's, BUT Hiroshoma in that Amazing Red will be the One for me.
I have a base Tucson that's 2 year old, and it has an electronic tailgate. But I'm in Australia. Perhaps your country is different in terms of the models you get. The cx-5 is too small and impractical . The fact that it doesn't have a full size spare wheel, kills it for me. My experience is that latte sipping, chardonnay swilling, trendies buy and drive the cx_5 , around the suburbs. You hardly see them in the real world of SUV driving, in the country, dirt roads, beach, etc. I wouldn't hazard those places with a space saver wheel.
Mazda is better finished, hyundai is cheaper.
each has pluses and minuses against the other.
depends on priorities.
I choose hyundai
I like the Mazda, but The electronic tailgate is detrimental imo. It's just a pointless feature that can break.
Thanks for the review Jimmy Kimmel
Mazda all the way!!
And I'll take the buttery smooth Mazda!!! Buttery is better.
Why doesn't anyone speak of resale?
Mazda is great,japanese technology is futuristic
Mazda
Please share country as wel
i do prefer tucson. in my opini, tucson much much much better
I think in the real world the Mazda will actually perform well and give good fuel economy. Hyundai overrates their engines because they always seem to be underpowered for the stated kw and nm and always use a lot more fuel. Their engineering isn't up there with the rest yet.
anti hyundai bias showing again
Hyundai gives a 7 year drivetrain warranty. Mazda offers a 3 year drivetrain warranty. Nuff said.
Such strange spec differences - a top spec Tucson in South Africa is still front-wheel drive? And no electric tailgate, LED headlights, auto wipers, nor bigger wheels? All of those are available overseas. CX-5 absolutely smashes the Tucson.
JFCW cause they think people are dumb and they will not know the other features. I hate it when car companies do that. Mazda does it in the Philippines.
Yup - I watch reviews, rush off to the dealers - only to discover some features are not available - special orders only (Volvo, Audi, Lexus). Quite disappointing.
R500k... not bad
I just bought my 2017 CX5 GT and I love myn no complaints by me but one question? Who in there right mind would own a Hyundai lol not me lol
doogieAfro ya ok there buddy I am a technician and I know my mechanics and I can tell you that your full of BS , Hyundai’s have big problems with there transmissions and engines heck I got a friend that works for Hyundai and he has done at least a hand full of transmissions on there SUV line and out of the past 4 years I might have done maybe one or two and I even seen some blown engines from your so called bulletproof Hyundai as well . Naaa while your stuck on the side of the road I will be passing you with flying colours 👍🏻
doogieAfro ok you do that 👍🏻
Hyundai is overpriced nowardays. They do not have the tech yet but the prices are ridiculous.
I think they got the Tucson wrong. I for instance got automatic wipers, heated og cooled seats, electric tailgate in my 2016 model
Dont have that in South Africa
Tucson is the best
CX5
mazda seems to be the better car. Cost of extended motoplan? if available.
R7344 for an additional 3 years
