Mazda CX-5 vs. Honda CR-V vs. Toyota RAV4 Comparison Test

[MUSIC PLAYING] MARK TAKAHASHI: Small crossover SUVs keep been wildly popular, outselling the shorter versatile sedans intended rather some time. JOSH SADLIER: Mark including I brought our two course favorites in this segment, including Will above here brought the RAV4, the course top seller. WILL KAUFMAN: We're going to take a closer view at each about these vehicles to enable you have knowledge of what their strengths including weaknesses are. We've place hundreds about miles on each about these movies on the road, but we thought we'd back-up you 12 record about us going to buy groceries. Instead, we took our three red persons movers to our test track where we could make those disclaimers at the bottom about each and every ad on shut roads including professional drivers come alive. You may never drive your closely packed crossover similar to this, but at meanest you can rest simple knowing someone has. JOSH SADLIER: We've got the latest Honda CR-V here accompanied by the 1.5-liter turbo charged four cylinder engine that you get on about each and every version you'll find at a dealer lot. There's the 2.4 that comes in the base LX. I don't have knowledge of if I've a bit of time|at all} seen one about those on the road. It doesn't really seem similar to something persons are going to be interested in since you want the turbo motor, it gets better fuel financial system including more power. How are you guys enjoying it so far? WILL KAUFMAN: This back seat is cavernous. There's a lot about chamber intended me to flop around back here. JOSH SADLIER: I've been watching that, yeah. WILL KAUFMAN: But-- I mean, it's great back here. There's just a ton about chamber in this car. JOSH SADLIER: Yeah, it is very spacious. This is really a mid-sized SUV I would declare in terms about usability. MARK TAKAHASHI: I'm not getting a sense about that space, though. I experience similar to the headliner including the windshields are in fact a not much close to me. [ENGINE REVVING] WILL KAUFMAN: That's interesting. Oof. Oh wow, there's that noise. Ah, it just sounds similar to the engine wants to jump not in about the engine bay. [LAUGHTER] The CVT just does not perform it any favors in the sound department. MARK TAKAHASHI: In its defense, though, certainly not one in their correct mind is going to be sweeping a CR-V this-- JOSH SADLIER: Well, MARK TAKAHASHI: --hard. JOSH SADLIER: That's fair. WILL KAUFMAN: And it does provide a great boost including great fuel economy. I mean-- JOSH SADLIER: It does. WILL KAUFMAN: With the vapour motor-- JOSH SADLIER: Well, not correct now. WILL KAUFMAN: But accompanied by a vapour motor, this is the nearly all successful about the three if you don't want the hybrid. JOSH SADLIER: Now this is the head wheel drive one, which means we're going to be getting beneath ideal circumstances, 34 MPG highway, which is easily the leading about any about these competitors. The others are I believe 31 including 30 at the top end. So the fuel financial system is definitely a strong suit, at meanest according to the EPA. Now in the actual world, if you're in a boost similar to I've been here, your results may vary. MARK TAKAHASHI: Here's the thing, though. It's making a lot about drain noise, but it doesn't experience sloppy. JOSH SADLIER: Yeah, I wouldn't entitle it sloppy. I mean, it obviously does not keep a lot drain intended this purpose, but in the actual world, having driven this around, I didn't experience similar to it needed more drain similar to on a country road or something. So I believe this is an extreme situation we're in correct now, but I perform similar to the way it responds. The steering, there's certainly not splash in it including it goes where you meaning it. The article intended me on this motor is the transmission. I believe if persons are not second-hand to a CVT, this can be good about a impolite awakening in that it just doesn't always respond as promptly or as predictively as you power expect if you're second-hand to sweeping similar to a old-fashioned automatic transmission. MARK TAKAHASHI: And they don't offer any good about automatic, perform they? JOSH SADLIER: CVTs beauties on the other or far side of the board, yeah. Even accompanied by the 2.4, it's motionless CVT. That's the one thing, I believe if persons take a test drive and-- again, transmission's fine, what's he talking about? Cool, including then you'll probably similar to the rest about the car. For me it's a deal breaker. MARK TAKAHASHI: Wow, the whole amount right. WILL KAUFMAN: See, I didn't-- in normal driving, I haven't felt that way on this vehicle, since about the CVT, when you're just, you know, cruising in traffic, when you're sweeping on the freeway, when you're sweeping around town, the response that I expect from a car, the CVT isn't falling short about that. MARK TAKAHASHI: It's not until you start getting onto a highway, you know, on an on-ramp or something including you really want to get up to speed, does it experience similar to it's at a disadvantage? JOSH SADLIER: Yeah, including the engine gets really frantic. MARK TAKAHASHI: I believe this is better suited to someone who has one or two kids. It's comfortable. It just good about checks the whole amount the boxes. JOSH SADLIER: There's motionless some road noise there I noticed on a longer drive above the weekend. WILL KAUFMAN: It does seem similar to intended this vehicle, they looked at the old RAV4 including they said, OK, it's going to be just better in each and every measure. Not automatically tremendously better, but it's going to be better. It's also the sole one that has Apple CarPlay including Android Auto. This is the 2018 RAV4, including it's the RAV4 that really started the closely packed crossover craze way back when. And it's motionless the successful about any closely packed crossover. In fact, it's the successful machine in the US next to the pickup trucks that everyone loves to buy so much. But I believe share about the appeal about this is that there's zero difficult on it. There's certainly not more reason you buy it, you don't keep to think, oh, I want the one that handles well. You just think, I want the one that will carry the whole amount about my persons including gear including I don't want to worry on it. MARK TAKAHASHI: It's not something that I don't believe you really aspire to? There's zero that good about gets me excited on this car. It's the safe choice. JOSH SADLIER: Yeah. There's in fact decent bolstering in these seats. A not much more than I expected. Thanks intended helping me to experience that accompanied by that turn. WILL KAUFMAN: I mean, it is-- it's just a totally excellent place to spend time. I mean, I agree, there's zero that stands not in here, but that's kind about share about the meaning about this car, is it just does what it does without any pretension to anything else, including you can get a hybrid authority instruct so you get better fuel financial system than any about the others if that's what you're looking for. It's also not a very thrilling engine. The transmission will, even though it's sole a six-speed transmission, it will kind about jump around if you're in normal mode including you start asking intended a not much segment about acceleration. JOSH SADLIER: There's something good about honest, though, on this authority instruct that I'm drawn to. WILL KAUFMAN: Yeah, it's basically the same authority instruct as the Mazda. MARK TAKAHASHI: Even to be aggressive nowadays, you keep to overdeliver on a number about fronts-- refinement including comfort including performance. Everything has at the moment gotten to the meaning where everyone is expecting more. This doesn't really overdeliver, it's adequate in about each and every way. JOSH SADLIER: It's an aging product that's good about hanging in there, but you're right, it's not really going the more mile. WILL KAUFMAN: The ride including handling isn't bad. It is a not much rough around the road than that CX-5, you definitely experience the bumps a not much segment more. I mean, it's not slovenly around these turns. MARK TAKAHASHI: It was that not much boaty coming not in about that previous turn, though. I felt a not much segment about residual bounces as you set it into the turn. JOSH SADLIER: Yeah, you wouldn't entitle this the driver's choice. MARK TAKAHASHI: No, no. JOSH SADLIER: But at the same time, I experience similar to if someone told me, hey, I just bought a 2018 RAV4, it would be hard to quarrel against that. MARK TAKAHASHI: Oh no, no, no. JOSH SADLIER: Well maybe-- MARK TAKAHASHI: He would say, why didn't you get the 2019 including just wait nine months? JOSH SADLIER: Well, it's an all-new model, you want to give it a twelve months or two to kind things out. MARK TAKAHASHI: Do ya? WILL KAUFMAN: The more article is, you'll be capable to get a really great deal on one about these-- when it's on dealer lots including a not many months when the new one's out. JOSH SADLIER: That's a large point. WILL KAUFMAN: This is going to get cheaper. You don't always perceive sales on Toyotas. MARK TAKAHASHI: Welcome to the leading small crossover you can buy today, the Mazda CX-5. It's a not much sporty, it's a not much more reactive including responsive. Sure it's an SUV, it's a not much tippy, but there's sole so a lot you can perform in regards to physics, right? WILL KAUFMAN: One about the things that impresses me in this motor is the body turn is really well-controlled. JOSH SADLIER: You should seek sitting in the centre back here, but I take your point. MARK TAKAHASHI: Well, in addition to better sweeping dynamics, I believe it's also the best-looking in the bunch. JOSH SADLIER: I would agree accompanied by that. MARK TAKAHASHI: I mean, it's better to view great than experience good, but this does both. JOSH SADLIER: If you view around at the competition, there's not really another crossover at this value meaning that in fact makes a way statement. Not one that I can believe of, at least. MARK TAKAHASHI: It's not over-styled either. I mean, it just-- similar to the overall shape is really pleasing. JOSH SADLIER: Yep. WILL KAUFMAN: It's also definitely the nicest interior about any about the ones we keep here today. MARK TAKAHASHI: Some about these materials we wouldn't keep expected to perceive apart from intended maybe a opulence motor previous generation. JOSH SADLIER: Yep. MARK TAKAHASHI: And it's got this large infotainment controller here that's good about the same as you'd expect from BMW, Mercedes, including Audi. And I love that. It's just well-managed, you know? It's simple to drive, it's fun to drive. WILL KAUFMAN: It raises the question, why perform you buy a closely packed SUV? It is since it handles nicely? MARK TAKAHASHI: You know, there are certain persons left in the earth who appreciate cars that handle well including are sporty. WILL KAUFMAN: But if you're buying one about these, what you need is practicality, right? What you need is to be capable to fit gear including persons including just carry things around. I mean, what are the tricks about this motor more than it's nice to place around a turn, which, let's features it, nearly all about the sole chance you get to perform that is a autobahn on-ramp. Not each and every road is our test track. MARK TAKAHASHI: Well, you don't believe that this has enough cargo space? WILL KAUFMAN: You've got two kids, especially if they're small, you've got two strollers you gotta throw in the trunk. That's a lot about space correct there. This is definitely going to be the best at moving stuff. MARK TAKAHASHI: Worst? WILL KAUFMAN: There's certainly not more authority instruct option in this car. This is the sole one here today-- MARK TAKAHASHI: I don't believe it needs more power. WILL KAUFMAN: Well, the authority is sole share about it, right? The more article that-- the more article that the more authority instruct options on the more vehicles offer is not just more power, but more fuel efficiency. You've got a hybrid machine in the RAV4 including you've got the 1.5 liter turbo in the CR-V, both about which are more successful than what you get in this car. JOSH SADLIER: But I believe the meaning on cargo capacity intended me in this section is I doubt that many buyers are in fact folding down the seats including maximizing each and every previous cubic foot that's available. I experience similar to what they're looking intended is a high seating position. Yeah, a convenient hatchback trunk, sure, you can fold along the seats if you need to, but I believe it's the way that really pushes this one above the top compared to more cars in the class intended the price. Like, you want to view great sweeping a crossover, I experience similar to that's share about the appeal. WILL KAUFMAN: This is also the leading seating position about any about the ones we keep here today intended sure. I mean, you experience a not much segment more ensconced in the vehicle, you've got armrests that at meanest intended me in fact work on both sides. And that's-- I mean, just that, just the experience about sitting along including in this vehicle, there is a not much segment about that sportiness to it. And I also believe it's just the nearly all comfortable-- these seats to me are the nearly all comfortable about the three we have. JOSH SADLIER: Starting accompanied by acceleration, the CR-V turns not in to keep a pretty important advantage. We're talking on a second-and-a-half to 60-- seven-and-a-half intended the CR-V, nine seconds-plus intended the CX-5 including RAV4. What perform we believe on that? MARK TAKAHASHI: It's crazy. I mean, the CX-5 feels so a lot faster including livelier, but numbers don't lie. JOSH SADLIER: Braking length we move from 60 to zero, full panic stop. Once again the CR-V has a important advantage-- 121 feet in that panic quit versus 130 intended the more two cars. When it comes to cargo space, the CR-V has a class-leading 39.2 cubic feet about it behind the second row. That's on average accompanied by some mid-size SUVs. MARK TAKAHASHI: Cargo capacity is one about the main reasons persons gravitate towards crossovers similar to these. WILL KAUFMAN: That is really impressive, but on paper, it's within a cubic foot about the RAV4. In the actual world, that makes a difference, though. You can see, at the end of the nearly all unexpected game about Tetris ever, JOSH SADLIER: We are down one golf bag, but sole one golf bag, so they're pretty a lot the same. The CX-5, though, I experience similar to it's a not much smaller. Is that-- Mark? Is it smaller? MARK TAKAHASHI: It's smaller. That is what didn't fit in the RAV4, including the whole amount about this is what doesn't be the correct shape for in the CX-5. At 30.9 cubic feet, it's the smallest capacity about the bunch, but that's motionless a lot about stuff. WILL KAUFMAN: I have knowledge of the force is the successful machine in this segment, but it's really starting to show its age. Compared to these more two, it just can't really hold up. We're going at the end of you speed this test again including we get the new image in since I believe it's going to be a large improvement. MARK TAKAHASHI: And I realize that the CX-5 doesn't keep the greatest cargo capacity, but it really appeals to my left brain. I mean, it looks great, including drives even better. JOSH SADLIER: But here's what the correct cerebrum says. The CR-V's got the leading fuel economy, leading cargo capacity, leading braking, including leading hastening in the total test. Case closed.
