I have Mazda CX-5 2018 model awd sport ,with a soul red crystal ,the driving dynamics is awesome ❤
What a great review and comparison enough to convince me which of the two fits my driving pleasure. I don’t need a test drive. I’m a Mazda fan ever since and when I watched this video it adds to my broader understanding about this car. You guys are amazing and knows how to give the consumers important feedback for both cars.🚗
i'll pick the cx-5 2.5 n/a. i don't like overly complicated hybrid systems
Not a Honda fan boy nor a Mazda but i do own both CX9, CRV RS, and a Tesla Model 3.. sadly “Uly” really pushed hard for the Cx5 right from the start which adequately or should i say “sales” talk the other presenter to choose the Cx5 as well. The presenter Uly was so obsessed with the Mazda even though it’s so outdated, you guys barely fit comfortably at the back but still pushes hard that yeah you can move on the side for a bit to fit 3 passengers..He also played mind games for choosing the CRV but Mazda in the End. This is bad journalism gents.
Thanks for your insights...that wasn't the case. When we designed this review format, it was supposed to be me in the CX-5 camp and Nics in the CR-V camp. We had to convince each other on the merits of our vehicles. Maybe it just didn't come across that way in the end. We'll take note of that in our future head-to-heads.
Having driven both these vehicles, I'd say the choice is down to what you want. I'd take the CR-V if I only had one space in my garage. I'd go CX-5 if it was a coding car or if I had garage space to spare.
Honestly, you can't go wrong with either vehicle here.
Carguide, if you don't want to sound as an oversell for the mazda, you should've pitted the discussion with a hardcore honda crv rs owner as well.
You don't have to be a "hardcore owner" to appreciate a car. Yes, ownership does provide a nice perspective, but spending some seat time in a car is enough. Typically, we get these cars for a week.
It’s an incredible review and hats off to them. Well said on how these two brands / variants are both unique in its own way.
True enough about the driver centric feeling & functionality of the Mazda as compared to the sedan feeling & performance of the Honda.
I was truly amazed of the CX’s interior and that cockpit feels. However, I was captivated by the CRV’s overall looks, presence on the road, performance, fuel consumption (better than the Accord) and of course the resale value.
Although we didn’t get the RS but we are more than satisfied with the AWD 7-seater VX variant. Thank you gents!😊
Yup made it to end, great review po... 🤩 just subscribed... will watch all your videos. Thanks po❤
What a comprehensive review! Thank you! Leaning more towards Mazda CX-5 .
Comprehensive Comparo 👏🏻 More to come please 😊
Can't wait for this comparison 🥰
Mazda has always been fun to drive. I still have my 2004 Maz3 and drives great but a gas guzzler. Recently acquired the Crv e-hev and I can attest on its gas savings doing 13 km/L even with heavy traffic. Put it in sports mode and it flies with economy down to 12km not bad. Another big factor is the resale value. I think the CRV wins in this department.
Infotainment systems best to be non-obtrusive (size isnt the end all) and few touchscreen as possible to avoid distractions. More tactile.
Great point on the if a family can only get 1 car then it's a practicality choice.
Both brand are very reliable and unique. It’s just depends who’s gonna drive and how many gonna hop in to the car😅 I will pick mazda as it’s feels like a sports car when driving and more power with fair gas consumption. And you can still fit 3 person at the back unless if they are morethan 6ft😅
Philippines need to experience the Sportage NQ5 series. Yall missing a lot. 😂
Im driving the PHEV 🇨🇦
If you enjoy and love driving get the cx5
How about the Mazda3 vs Honda Civic?
Soon!
In a perfect world, cx5. Real world application, crv.
Why the Mazda CX 5 in the Philippines has a small infotainment screen? Here in US the size was 10.25 inch. Anyway, both cars are great and dependable. If you want a more luxurious style go with Mazda CX 5
Agreed. We still have the old-generation Mazda Connect system and that's a downer if you've tried the newer systems found in the Mazda3 and CX-30.
Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
Sa video shot of the CRV looks great.
After 5 years whats the maintenance of the EV battery?
Honda says there's no difference to the maintenance of the battery. Unless the battery dies, the same PMS intervals apply.
@@carguideph ok i researched the EV battery may last 10 to 20 years. Zero maintenance.
Keep doing what you're doing!
I wanna know which one has the better NVH
Overall? You'd be surprised, but it's the CX-5. The CR-V has a tad more wind noise at speed...the CX-5 seems to control that better.
In the city though, they're more or less the same. The CR-V, however, being a hybrid, can operate on electric power. When it does this, it has the advantage in terms of vibration isolation.
The infotainment of Mazda needs an upgrade. It's been like that for how many years now. Sorry Mazda.
Agreed. It's still fairly easy to use, but it can't beat the newer "7G" version being rolled out in its newer models.
i hope they put that 10.5inch screen from cx60 to cx5.
I thought it will be the bigger one now. But it’s ok it becomes negligible when you’re driving
Love my mazda cx5!
Just waiting for the 2025 Mazda CX5 new model. Definitely it will be more fun to drive and more fuel efficient.
You guy miss the fact that the usb chargers cannot be practically use when a 3rd person is sitting in the back.
Good point. We didn't think of it that way. We just thought positioning the USB chargers inside of the rear arm rest makes the entire rear look cleaner. Perhaps that's the reason why the CX-60 moved them to the area near the rear AC vents.
grabe ang deep ng history of experience ni uly. 🔥🔥
His reviews/opinions should be pitted against an experienced crv hybrid owner as well. Napaka bias ni Uly dito. Boo!
Salamat po!
We can talk about the CR-V if you'd like. Or you could just watch the conclusion. I think hindi na nakikinig sa video o hindi na nanood eh. You're just basing it on the first few minutes.
Please compare Cx-5 and forester. :)
We can...but at this point, it'll be a one-way battle in favor of the CX-5. The current Forester is just too meh. We're still wishing for a turbocharger (or at least a bigger engine).
@@carguideph ok thank you. We are planning kasi to buy a brand new car, and we are torn between cx5 and forester. :) but if my commander whats bigger space, then were torn now between cx8 and outback.
@@archimedesreymanigbas9623 despite the CX-5's age versus the Forester, the Mazda is still the better choice drive-wise, refinement, features. Probably the only thing going for the Forester is interior space, ground clearance. But the thing is just sooooo glacial. It's slow!
Now, comparing the CX-8 and Outback, that all depends. If you need the three rows, the CX-8 is the one for you. Gives you the flexibility to choose between ferrying 7 (or 6 people if you get the AWD) or luggage. Responsiveness is the same between the two, but the CX-8 has better fuel economy. No need to get the Outback Turbo me thinks--just too expensive for what you get.
Thank you@@carguideph for your suggestions! ❤️❤️❤️
Honda removed the gear selector buttons for their CR-V
Yes. That push button selector was horrible!
Dont forget the hyundai santa fes 😊
More fan to drive get the CX-5. 250 hp at 434 Nm for the segment is no joke. Hindi ka mabibitin.. Huwag mo na isipin ang gas consumption.😂
Cant go wrong with a Honda.
Can't go wrong with either one.
Kala ko cx5 pa din.. at 8:35 looks like a mazda copy.
mazda all the way
This guys obviously mazdabois , honda fanbois knows what's honda anyways, not to make things complicated i gave you the summary.
Honda- space,fuel efficiency and resale value
Mazda- driver centered, premium cabin feel and ground clearance.
Both are good but i'd go honda all day everyday.
You guys are very obvious. It’s Mazda from the start 😄
How? They had a lot of complains on Mazda from the start
@@charlesa1234 what complaints. They only complained on the infotainment system LOL
@@triathleteover5030 the tiny interior space
@@charlesa1234 well it’s not a deal breaker compared to the engine, interior and exterior designs that they mentioned.
Very evident.
Sorry guys no matter what you say, I’m solid Honda all the way
of course honda all the way
That is the problem with Mazda, other countries esp. US is getting the 10.25 inches infotainment on CX 5 after update, Asian esp SEA is getting this 8inches🤦♂
That is quite true. We don't understand why most of our cars are still stuck with the old Mazda Connect system when other markets--Australia, Japan, US, are already getting them outfitted with the newer 7G system.
I"ll go fro CX-5❤
Still Mazda CX-5
I am Mazda team 🤩
Driving a mazda is like driving a bmw..mazda all the way❤️❤️
Please do a Mazda CX-60 and Lexus NX 350H side by side, since Mazda is going upmarket with the CX-60 and the Lexus NX is the closest rival from Japan
6th generation of crv. Not 5th
Mazda ❤
I hope Honda WRX will lunch here in the Philippines. 😊
Hybrid for me
background music too loud
Thanks for that. We're making adjustments for future reviews going forward.
@@carguideph love you content guys. Keep up the great work. Cheers
Resale value of.... 💀
So much bias for the cx5.
Check our reply to a similar comment in this thread.
Guys, take this constructively. There are a couple of mentions of your biases towards the cx5. Uly's passion towards his cx5 ownership defeated the point of this video. Really very bias.
@@TheWangtungsung I own the diesel and admittedly it does help in forming a more complete picture when it comes to the pros and cons. But I still try to approach things from a neutral perspective. I still say, both have their advantages and disadvantages.
@@carguideph the review does seem biased towards mazda. That might not have been the intention, but that's how it seem to have come out. Perhaps if Nics also had an equally strong conviction for CRV or Uly's conviction for CX5 were a bit milder, the review would have sounded more neutral. But I must say, a very well structured review. Almost all the major points were covered.
Honda crv underpower period
Define underpower? 204 hp and 335 nm of torque is definitely not underpowered.
@@user-hi8np4nm2v define yourself first?
if you use it for racing then it is underpower, but if you used it to travel from a to b it is not under power,,
@@brendonlee137 lol theni go for mazda cx5 that car is not for racing too but lots of power. What can u say?
@@user-to1tp7wy8h then go for it that's your choice.but for me i will not only consider the power, i will consider the availability of parts.Incase of mechanical problems,
Honda is definitely a better car manufacturer than Mazda. All Honda models are better compared to their Mazda counterparts.
I don’t think so, do a research
@@PacuMan Yes I did a research.
@@user-hi8np4nm2v you better do a research again. Mazda far more reliable than honda and more luxurious thats why they are more expensive. In terms of safety feature mazda has the highest rating too. 🫣
@@PacuMan Honda's Acura brand is more luxurious and comparable to Lexus, Mercedes Benz and BMW than any Mazda cars. A Mazda 3 cannot even beat the overall package of a Civic what more if it is an Acura model. Again, Honda is far bigger and better company than Mazda.
@@user-hi8np4nm2v lol mazda 3 to type r? Mazda miata you mean. As what you said mazda, lexus and accura😜 but yeah mazda itself is yet moving to luxury brand that’s why they introduced the new CX segment. As they said ‘small but terrible’ at one point they were both great brand
Cant go wrong with a Honda.
