Design Comparison Between the 2017 Mazda CX-5 & the 2017 Honda CR-V

A sleek, eye-catching, and functional exterior design is among the many things Mazda engineering is known for, and the new 2017 Mazda CX-5 is a great example. The subtle lines offer a sophistication more commonly found in European luxury models while the overall appearance is well proportioned to stand out in just the right way. The new 2017 Honda CR-V also stands out, but in a very different way. The bold front end with a chrome bar at the top and a bunch of plastic everywhere else may not leave the impression you were hoping for. Beyond the looks and identical starting MSRP, you'll get more for your money from the Mazda small SUV thanks to standard features that include LED high and low beam headlights outside and voice-activated audio control inside, which are features that will cost extra in the Honda CR-V. These two respected small SUVs may come with the same price tag, but you'll get more for your money in the new 2017 Mazda CX-5.

Performance Comparison Between the 2017 Mazda CX-5 & the 2017 Honda CR-V

One of the many reasons that Mazda drivers become so devoted to the brand is the engaging experience behind the wheel thanks to some of the industry's leading performance. Honda, on the other hand, hasn't really established a stellar reputation for performance in every-day vehicles. When we compared the performance of the new 2017 Mazda CX-5 to that of the 2017 Honda CR-V, the facts bared this out. You'll find slightly more power and torque from the renowned SKYACTIVE®-g engine in the Mazda CX-5, and that's just the beginning of how its performance pulls ahead of the Honda CR-V. This delightful small SUV from Mazda also comes with a proper 6-speed automatic transmission that you can take control of through manual-shift and sport mode. That's a level of driving engagement that you just won't find in the small SUV from Honda, which only comes with a continuously variable transmission.

Safety Comparison Between the 2017 Mazda CX-5 & the 2017 Honda CR-V

Nothing is more important than your safety on today's hectic and crowded roads, and you'll find that the new 2017 Mazda CX-5 and the 2017 Honda CR-V are recognized as safe vehicles. Both models boast high crash and safety ratings from independent experts, and both models come with the modern safety features we expect like traction control, antilock disc brakes at every wheel, and advanced airbags. However, the new Mazda CX-5 comes standard with Smart City Brake Support, which helps you avoid accidents at low speeds. What's more, we looked deeper at NHTSA safety testing and found that while the Honda CR-V has been recalled twice and had 69 complaints registered against it, the 2017 Mazda CX-5 was built right the first time for no recalls and has had almost no complaints.
