Differences between the Mazda CX-5 and the Honda HR-V

As you can see, both of these vehicles are indeed quite similar. We applaud Honda for offering a solid competitor in the CR-V. There are a few characteristics you will want to make note of depending on your needs and preferences. 


If you are looking to tow, you will be able to tow 500 pounds more than what the 2021 Honda CR-V can tow. Perhaps that is the result of a bit more torque in its mighty engine. And if you want to synchronize your compatible smartphone to your vehicle and make use of the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ suites of technology and connectivity features, you can do that right away in the base CX-5 model, but you’ll have to pay more if you want that in the CR-V, as it is not included in the base trim.
