2024 MAZDA CX-5 vs 2024 Honda CR-V in Augusta, GA
2024 MAZDA CX-5 shown with available features.
With all of the compact SUVs out on the market, refining your search down to one model can be difficult. If you've been considering a 2024 Honda CR-V, we at Gerald Jones Mazda would like to stop you and direct your attention to the 2024 Mazda CX-5 instead. While they're both classified in the same category, you'll find that the latter model is superior.
Performance
For you to see how the Mazda CX-5 intends on amplifying your commutes down the Bobby Jones Expressway, let us tell you about the mechanics under the hood. Thanks to the available SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo 4-cylinder engine, you'll be able to reach new levels of excitement with up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2024 CR-V only has a 1.5L turbocharged powertrain, which tops off at 190 horsepower1 and 179 lb.-ft. of torque2. If you desire AWD, you'll be glad to know that the Mazda model comes standard with this drivetrain, while the Honda SUV has it on select trim levels. And when it comes to handling variation, the Mazda CX-5 comes out on top with its 6-speed automatic transmission that comes with manual shift and Sport mode. As for the CR-V, it just has a Continuously Variable Transmission.
Interior
When you hop into the cabins of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 and the 2024 Honda CR-V, you'll see how the former dominates the latter. For starters, the dual-zone automatic climate control is standard across the board, so you won't have to worry about being without it. While the CR-V does have this feature, it's only on upgradable editions. In the same instance, the Mazda SUV comes standard with heated front seats while you'd have to spring for this luxury on certain versions of the Honda model. For impeccable clarity, the Mazda CX-5 has a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen and an available 10-speaker setup. You might find yourself a little less enthused when driving around Augusta with the Honda CR-V, because its standard 7.0-inch display and optional 8-speaker arrangement don't offer the same effect.
Safety
Protection is crucial, no matter where you go or how many passengers are joining you. That's why we are proud to showcase the Mazda CX-5 and all of its useful safety technologies! Thanks to the standard Blind Spot Monitoring System3 and Rear Cross-Traffic Monitor3, you can rest assured that you'll be made aware of nearby cars when you're driving or backing out of a spot. While the Honda CR-V does offer these innovations, they aren't included in every edition. Then, for an easier time maneuvering your way into a parking position at the West Lake Country Club, you'll have an available 360º View Monitor4 for a bird's-eye look at your surroundings. This feature isn't provided in the CR-V. When you're ready to take the plunge towards owning the Mazda CX-5, meet with our Finance Department!

Testimonials
Great service and speed!
Friendly and helpful staff.
“ Friendly and helpful staff. Had my vehicle ready promptly and reviewed all services performed. ”
very quick
“ 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. ”

Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine
“ Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible. He made my experience with Mazda EXCELLENT! Thank you Kevin. God bless you! ”

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had
“ 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. ”
Great folks, Great Place!
