2021 Mazda CX-5 vs. 2022 Hyundai Tucson: Choose Dynamics and Style

The Mazda CX-5 is much more stylish than its rivals. But has also incorporated the best in terms of power, performance and chassis dynamics, putting it at the forefront of the segment and making it the best choice for drivers who want more out of a compact SUV.

Here, we compare the 2021 Mazda CX-5 to the 2022 Hyundai Tucson.

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 offers superior torque

In drivability and handling are important facets of the automotive industry. However, not every brand is able to recreate sports car-like handling in an SUV. Mazda has successfully accomplished this feat yet again with the 2021 CX-5 thanks to powerful engines, carefully calibrated chassis components and innovative technologies. First, it offers a powerful base engine, a four-cylinder, 2.5 L which outputs 187 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. This provides plenty of power, and more torque than the 2022 Hyundai Tucson’s base four-cylinder 2.5-litre engine, which only dishes out 180 lb-ft.

For those who want even more performance, the CX-5 is also available with a class-leading 2.5-litre turbocharged engine that delivers up to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. This is much more torque than the Tucson’s top engine, giving the CX-5 the upper hand in terms of accelerations and dynamics.

All CX-5 are equipped with Mazda’s own G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) system, which helps with dynamics during cornering. Paired with the available i-Activ all-wheel drive system which reads road conditions and actively recalibrates to provide optimal traction, the CX-5 is the ultimate driving machine for all road conditions.

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 has superior comfort and amenities

Careful crafted using superior textures and materials, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 provides a sportier and more refined interior than the 2022 Hyundai Tucson with a driver-centric philosophy that leaves plenty of room for passengers and cargo.

The CX-5 offers you more in terms of technology. For example, the available premium Bose sound system comes with 10 speakers, while the Tucson’s best audio option only has 8 speakers. The CX-5 is also available with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Centerpoint 2 Surround Technology and AudioPilot 2 Noise Compensation technology as well as cylinder Deactivation display on Mazda Connect touchscreen.
