Sleek design, upscale features, high quality; all those attributes are associated with luxury vehicle brand names. But if one could find all those wrapped into one without the luxury price, would it be possible? Look no further, as the 2020 Mazda CX-5 has made its way to Carlsbad, CA.
Built as a safe, efficient, and fashionable crossover for everyone, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 here at Bob Baker Mazda has been drawing vehicle enthusiasts in with its look and performance. But can the 2020 Mazda CX-5 match up against popular brand name SUVs such as the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan? We compared the two to find out below and found that the CX-5 is well-worth its praise.
Checking out the table above, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 edges out the VW Tiguan model. Despite its turbo engine, the Tiguan’s base engine is narrowly outmatched by the 2.5L engine inside the CX-5. If we add-in the Mazda CX-5 turbo engine option and its 227 horsepower, the gap widens even more. But keeping to the table, even the estimated combined 28 MPG is a slight improvement from the VW Tiguan. Despite the slight difference in starting MSRP, the difference is made up over time from the extra fuel economy – not to mention the infotainment features Mazda packed into the CX-5.
Technology Features of the 2020 Mazda CX-5
On top of the engine offerings, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 comes with an impressive list of technology and infotainment features. One of the noticeable differences between trim levels is with the speaker – upgrading from a four-speaker system to either a six-speaker or the Bose® 10-Speaker system at higher levels. An entire host of safety features were added as well with the i-ACTIVSENSE® suite of safety features, which helped it earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ in 2019. A few other technology features are as listed:
Between the base engine specifications and the lengthy list of infotainment and technology features, the 2020 Mazda CX-5 outclasses its competition regardless of their name. But don’t take our word for it; come check a model out for yourself here at Bob Baker Mazda in the Carlsbad area.
