While looking under the hood, the engines of 2020 Mazda CX-5 and the Subaru Forester are similar. Although the CX-5’s base trim is a standard two-wheel drive, it offers more torque and horsepower than the Forester.

In terms of interior and safety features, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 is worth the price in comparison to the 2020 Subaru Forester. The differences include a larger touchscreen display and optional cooled seating and ventilation. But where the CX-5 really stands out is in the safety package, as Mazda decided to standardize its innovative i-ACTIVSENSE® Suite, which includes:

  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane Departure Warning System
  • Lane-Keep Assist
  • Adaptive Front-Lighting System
  • Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go Function

While Subaru SUVs are known for their safety, the Mazda CX-5 was one of only two small SUVs named as a 2019 Top Safety Pick+ model. All things considered, the safety and technology features are really what makes the 2020 CX-5 shine.
