Compare 2024 MAZDA CX-5 vs 2024 Toyota RAV4

Performance

In 2024, Mazda introduces the Carbon Turbo trim. This is now the first trim in the lineup that is available with the turbo 2.5-liter, four-cylinder, 227-horsepower engine. Lower trims come with a standard 2.5-liter, four-cylinder, 187-horsepower engine. The full Mazda CX-5 trim lineup has standard all-wheel drive and a six-speed auto transmission. The 2024 RAV4 comes with the same 2.5-liter, four-cylinder, 203-horsepower engine for all trims. This features an eight-speed auto transmission and standard front-wheel drive for most trims. All-wheel drive is an upgrade for most trims and is standard for the Adventure and TRD Off-Road.

Appearance

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 has enviable styling with an aerodynamic shape and smooth, flowing surfaces. The U-shaped grille and the short bumper are expansive and trend to a point on the sides—the grille links to piercing LED headlights. The 2024 RAV4 has a flatter profile with a raked rear and sharply angled, molded wheel wells. Both the grille and larger bumper have a comprehensive, A-style shape. The headlights have a geometric feel with sharp corners through the LED elements.

Features

The Mazda CX-5 is impressively appointed with features such as a surround-view camera, parking sensors, a driver attention warning, a navigation system, leather upholstery, wood trim, a 10.25-inch central display screen, heated seats, a Bose audio system, a head-up display, a power liftgate, a wireless charging pad, a wireless connection for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a heated steering wheel and others. The RAV4 has an 8-inch touch display screen, wireless smartphone app connections, a six-speaker sound system, a hotspot, satellite radio, and several driver-assist features in its starting trim level.
