The base engine of the cx5 is more than enough. Wanna sacrifice mpg big time? Then get the turbo. Ive driven both, and honestly the turbo is only good when getting quickly up to speed on the highway, otherwise u barely ever use it. For my money, the premium package is worth it more than the turbo which is only 40 more ponies. Not worth it

I bought my 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition Turbo w/ AWD back in March, and I haven't regretted it for a second. The comfort is more than I expected, zooming around town is a pleasure, and I have had no problems finding enough cargo space to haul my groceries, garden/building materials, and etc.. More than once, I've found myself speeding, and not just by a little. The turbo really makes the CX-5 move down the road. I'm able to listen to 1,000s of my favorite songs from my own music library that is stored on a USB flash-drive, too. It's a sweet ride.

Good job, thanks 👍🏻

I’m looking to upgrade to an SUV after driving a civic for 5 years now. Really confused between New Rogue and New Tucson. They both look really good and have so much technology to offer.

I was shopping for a compact suv for my growing family last September. I shopped CRV, RAV4 and the Forester. The two most important criteria for me was space for two car seats and an adult in the back and fuel economy. This eliminated the Mazda and Hyundai. RAV4 was very tight in the back with no leg room. It came down to the CRV and the forester, we chose the forester for the all wheel drive and the fantastic iSight system.

What a competitive segment. As a CX-5 owner, I can attest that I consider it to be in a separate category. I never would have selected a car from this category, were it not for the CX-5. It drives like a sports sedan. Moreover, its luxury interior, feel and materials make it more of a competitor for the entry-luxury models like the BMW X1, MB GLA, Lexus UX and NX, etc. In that company, it suddenly becomes the MOST practical and the MOST roomy. In that set, it also has the largest cargo hold, seats up or down, by far. Even in this set, its cargo capacity is not small, it's just the smallest. To keep it in perspective, it is similar to the cargo capacity of the others' from a generation or two ago.

@Edmunds - can you please do a review of Mitsubishi Outlander 2022 and how it compares with the ones in this video….specifically Nissan Rogue as it’s the same car in some sense.

A recent shopper here. We test drove the Subaru Forester Touring, Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, and Mazda CX-5. Forester was nice and roomy, ok on driving dynamics, great windows for minimal blind spots. I hate how busy it is between the dash and center console, there is way too much going on. Also wasn't a fan of their infotainment interface. The Cherokee felt good, I come from a Compass and Wrangler so it all felt familiar. A bit cramped inside though, especially with a pano sunroof. Biggest downer was price as she was the more expensive of the bunch. CX-5 GT, driving her felt good. Infotainment system will take some getting use to, but my previous cars never had them. Spacious enough for my family. Love the quality interior feel. Doesn't break the bank too badly. And this is what we ordered.

In my opinion, the Mazda CX-5 was far ahead of the others after a real test drive. Even if you don't get the turbo, it will make you wonder why all other compact suv's drive like boats. I thought I would hate not having a touch screen, but now I prefer the CX-5's smooth controls over cleaning fingerprints on my screen.

I bought a new 2021 CX-5 Touring AWD (not turbo). Most of the time I can get at least 30 MPG combined. Maybe because it's mostly flat. The Touring is on the less expensive end of CX-5's, yet everyone comments about how plush and sturdy it is. The cargo hold is smaller than most compact SUV's, but it's serviceable. No one vehicle can be the best in every metric. The CX-5 IS fun to drive. LOVE the 6-speed. Zoom zoom...

I think these types of vehicles have been out long enough for their 5 year resale value to be compared, or at least mentioned. They could also tell us some of the common problems about them (ex: Honda oil consumption issue, Mazda direct injection engine maintenance requirements, Nissan CVT problems and history) but I guess if they did the manufacturers would no longer loan them new vehicles to test. I recommend potential owners do some research so you become informed about any potential issues before you get that $35,000 loan.

Wow, the commenters here seem to be offended no matter what you pick. I appreciate the honesty in this comparison and agree with the rankings. I think this class of suvs is very flawed. The Tuscan is the modest disappointing to me as it is the newest vehicle and the so west regardless of power trains. Then there is its touch capacitive center stack which is infuriating to use. They took all that time to come put with a bottom of the pack vehicle. The CX5 is my favorite because I like to drive, but do wish it had a touchscreen and an eight speed automatic.

Motor Trend magazine figure eight test measure not only grip but accleration, braking power, along with shock dampening, sway bars, spring rates. It's the recipe that has the 2018 GMC Terrain/Equinox one full second ahead of the 2018 CX-5 in that test. You see, the Japanese cook the books in making a lightweight, small, and great handling cuv that journalist rave about and get fuel economy as a result. When the buying public review the Mazda it is loud and rough riding and a turn off with just a ride around the block. So 2018 Mazda adds to the CX-5 missing sound deadening and adds heavier acoustic glass. Now the suspension is taxed with sway bar and spring rates from the previous updates along with shocks that need revalving. Braking performance has suffered with the extra weight with longer stopping from 60 than a 2018 Terrain by over 10 feet. And if you want to compare real world economy, fuelly.com-which are owners reporting, has the new 2018 Equinox 1.5T besting the CX-5. Sorry to burst your Japanese bubble but most everyone is on the same playing field today and many have passed them up and especially on the cost to buy front thanks to dealerahips advertising on places like cars.com. It is public perception that lags because of you and the journalist want to protect their internet clicks and keep inflated resdiuals as the prices are higher to buy than non-Japanese, negating any excellent resdiuals value. The auto auctions thank you guys. This is especially the case for the Honda CR-V. Regarding pricing and value the 2018 Terrain and CX-5 are dead even today and 3 year, 36,000 miles from now. The Subaru is $2,000 less today and $2,000 less in the same time period. This all based on info gathered from cars.com. It favors the Terrain if I used 2017 values as it is an out going model and the best deal here. Though the base 2018 Terrain doesn't have dual zone climate control it does have rear seat upper vents. The Mazda does not until you go up to the Touring model. The Terrain SLE has dual zone and the CX-5 Touring has rear seat vents starting the last two years or so. Both cars are the same price on cars.com Early Mazda models do not have rear seat venting. The 2018 Honda CR-V is the most expensive at $6,000 more than comparable 2018 Equinox. The Honda still offers the old 2.4l and is $5,000 more than a 2017 Equinox 2.4l. It is just over priced at all levels. And at 3 years, 36,000 miles later the CR-V cost less than a Equinox. Which means the more expensive, new Honda has dropped more in value than the Equinox. The Terrain 1.5T receives the 9-speed transmission and has not been tested. Only the Equinox 1.5t 6-speed has been timed..

@@cgnefarious5785 Collector car in a few years. People don't know what they don't know. Probably put off by the smaller cargo space. I love the car for all the other reasons, mainly looks. Not boxy, Not clunky and the interior is beautiful.

I drive a 2022 Hyundai Tucson and I would have to disagree with the 2.5 l being sluggish I would say it’s not bad for a four banger it’s no speed demon but it’s not bad it merges into traffic just fine and it is a lot better than my previous vehicle the 2018 Ford Escape s with also a 2.5 that ford was gutless but it was not bad.

CX-5 is what I’d go for 👌

CX5 GTR for me! Im single, no kids, so i dont care about cargo space lol I do wish they offered a panoroof but that's not a dealbreaker for me. It'll be next summer though, waiting for the microchip shortage to work itself out.

I can definitely confirm that the new 1.5 turbo in the Rogue is anything but sluggish.

Hard to believe that a comparison of these cars doesn't mention the Tucson's useless tire repair kit. (Had to find out about this elsewhere), or the frightening CVT on the Roque. You'd think class action suits about these transmissions would deserve some mention.

Everyone commenting on Mazda having the lower sales, if people actually considered Mazda from the outset, more would likely choose it. I never considered Mazda when I shopped for a new car a few months back. I was set on the Tucson. But for some reason, the Carbon caught my eye and that was that. I believe this might be a common occurrence that Mazda isn't considered because they're more thought of in the sport/sedan category. I don't think many people even think of them regarding SUVs.

why you didn't tested the taos and sportage?

Left out two of my favorites - Subaru Forester. Consumer Reports ranks it as number 1 in the Compact SUV class. Mid-sized SUV number 1 - Subaru Outback.

Outback or the the new Outlander. The CX-5 and CRV both have firmer suspensions that help with handling, but doesn't absorb bumps that well. The RAV4 and Forester are somewhere in the middle. Don't know about the American brands or the new Tucson and the still yet to be released in the USA Kia Sportage.

7:02 you say that the 3-zone climate control in the Rogue is unique in this segment? Maybe in the US, but in Europe the top trims of the Tucson do have it.

Toyota Rav4 is KING in this segment. Everything about the Rav4 .. functional

And why no forester?

Id still take the Rav4. Not just because I own one either. To me it has the best looks. Its the best all around..room..tech...performance...etc. Add to that the fact that the Rav4 will outlast every one of these by years and have a much lower cost of ownership and better resale value....id definitely stick with the Rav. Theres a reason its by far the best seller.

So Honda paid the highest amount.

We’re CR-V loyalists with a 2010 and 2015. We started years ago with a much-loved and trouble-free 2001. This time we’re cross-shopping against new plug-in hybrid offerings from Kia (Sportage and Sorento) because Honda is lazy with updating that ancient and slow infotainment system. Maybe Honda will step it up and update it and get a plug-in to boot.
