Design Showdown: 2018 Mazda CX-5 VS 2018 Honda CR-V

The base model 2018 Honda CR-V comes with a 5” static display and button-operated infotainment. Meanwhile, the 2018 Mazda CX-5 comes totally standard with a 7” touch screen powered by Mazda CONNECT™ for swift and seamless infotainment operation. Additionally, you can have heated rear seats in your 2018 Mazda CX-5, but not at all on the 2018 Honda CR-V. Step outside and you'll notice standard LED headlights give the Mazda CX-5 a sharp, modern appearance and superior nighttime visibility. LED headlights are available only on the top-end trim level of Honda CR-V.

When it comes to performance, both vehicles offer you equal power. The 2018 Honda CR-V comes standard with 184 horsepower, and can be upgraded to 190; the 2018 Mazda CX-5 gives you 187 horsepower. So, we'll have to look elsewhere to discover a difference in performance — and we find it thanks to SKYACTIV®-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control, totally standard on the 2018 Mazda CX-5. This Mazda-exclusive technology automatically shifts power delivery and weight for superior grip and handling response when cornering.

The design masters at Mazda have crafted a variety of vehicles in every shape and size to fit everyone's needs — but they all begin the same way: as a mere block of clay. Today, Mazda uses more clay than any manufacturer. It's their “KODO: Soul of Motion” design philosophy that makes Mazda vehicles so remarkable to look at. Each car's shape and ideal lines are carved from clay before any computer design tools are brought in. The result? Truly beautiful vehicles. Mazda then equips them with SKYACTIV®-G engines for efficient performance and i-ACTIVSENSE® driver assistance features for safety and peace of mind. At Baglier Mazda, we're thrilled to serve Western Pennsylvania with the finest selection of Mazda vehicles.
