2021 MAZDA CX-5 vs 2021 Honda CR-V near Covington, GA

2021 MAZDA CX-5 vs 2021 Honda CR-V near Covington, GA Pictured above is the 2021 MAZDA CX-5 with optional features.

Though the world of compact SUVs is full of viable contenders, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 manages to step up and outshine its rivals in a number of ways. With this model by your side, you can expect thrilling capabilities, upscale amenities, and up-to-date technology, so don’t delay taking it for a test drive here at Gerald Jones Mazda! To help you feel confident, our team is here to explain how this SUV compares to the 2021 Honda CR-V.

Features

Technology

A modern set of wheels should be packed with recent updates, so let’s dive in by reviewing the various innovations offered by these SUVs. With the Mazda CX-5, you’ll have a standard 10.25-inch color display that houses your various media and infotainment applications for convenient access when you’re out for a drive. To compare, the 2021 CR-V only has a standard 5-inch system and an available 7-inch touchscreen. To make matters worse, the Honda also fails to offer SiriusXM® Traffic and Travel Link1, while its competitor offers it on the Signature trim level. Finally, whereas the Mazda CX-5 has standard Apple CarPlay®2 and Android Auto™2, the CR-V requires you to upgrade to utilize these amenities, which might make it less convenient to stay connected to the outside world.

Comfort

In addition to technology, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 also excels with respect to comfort. For instance, this compact SUV gets off to a promising start by coming standard with a luxurious leather-wrapped steering wheel—something you’ll have to spend extra on to find in the 2021 Honda CR-V. Moreover, only the Mazda is available with ventilated front-row seats, so keep this in mind if you’re tired of dealing with sweltering drives during our typically brutal summers. And Even though the CR-V has an optional 4-way power chair for the front passenger, the Mazda CX-5 goes even further with its available 6-way power copilot’s seat. That way, the person joining you for the trip to Newton County Turner Lake Park will remain cozy and relaxed.

Performance

By this point, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the Mazda CX-5 also excels when it comes to performance. At first, the Honda CR-V appears to put up a fight with its standard 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine that makes 190 horsepower3 and 179 lb.-ft. of torque4, as its fellow compact SUV has a standard SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder system that can deliver 187 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. That being said, the Mazda is also available with a 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo 4-cylinder powertrain that substantially ups the ante with 250 horsepower5 and 320 lb.-ft. of torque5. Meanwhile, the Honda has no engine upgrades to speak of! In fact, the CR-V only offers a 1,500-lb. towing capacity6, which isn’t quite on the same level as the Mazda’s 2,000-lb. trailering rating7.

Now that you know the facts about the 2021 Mazda CX-5 vs 2021 Honda CR-V near Covington, GA, come to Gerald Jones Mazda to take the former for a test drive. You’ll find us conveniently located at 4022 Washington Rd. in Augusta, GA!

“ Friendly and helpful staff. Had my vehicle ready promptly and reviewed all services performed. ”

very quick

11-10-2020

“ I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their. ”

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had

5-18-2020

“ This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be. ”
