2017 Toyota RAV4 vs 2017 Mazda CX-5 Comparison

To say crossovers are a huge hit with consumers is an understatement. They now sell more than sedans and automakers are frequently introducing new crossovers into showrooms. Mazda is a small automaker but knows all too well the importance of this body style. The CX-5 was the brand's first crossover and has received a huge refresh for 2017 and, while it was never the best selling crossover on the market, this new model sets a number of benchmarks for the segment.
To prove this, we brought Mazda’s new crossover and the 2017 Toyota RAV4, which is one of the crowd pleasers in the segment., together for a comparison. Comparing these two CUVs, however, can seem a bit unfair because Toyota has been making crossovers for decades and has even been credited as being a pioneer in the world of crossovers. It’s sold hundreds of thousands of examples over the years and Toyota has an overwhelmingly positive reputation with consumers thanks to numerous reports of excellent reliability.

The Mazda feels and looks so much nicer especially the interior quality.

[@theinvestorsmind2547]

I have a 2016 Mazda 6 touring model. To me there is no other comparison in its class...for the price and feel.

[@Toyota4Life]

flipboi952 the rav-4 will destroy the Mazda at every stop light and on the highway. While being more reliable and more comfy.

[@ericshutter5305]

[@kylenewberry2598]

Come on. Mazda and Toyota are about the same in reliability. At least one isn't like driving an appliance. The same people bashing Mazda probably still think it's run by Ford. (When in fact Mazda helped Ford by designing the Focus and highly reputable duratec engines)

[@theinvestorsmind2547]

I absolutely love my CX-5. Best purchase I have made. I had a Toyota Camry prior to getting my Mazda in 2015. I just knew that I was going to jump right back into a Toyota because of their reliability but the Rav 4 just did not beat out the CX-5 for me.

[@adamstratton7808]

one big reason for the quality and fit and finish is the stories behind the Mazda. It is produced, designed, engineered 100% in Hiroshima Japan. Toyota is outsourced and made here in the states with many countries contributing towards it. The Mazda is the clear winner here and Toyota has gone the wrong direction over the past 10 years or so because they are fighting for that top global sales position against the VW group and they have Audi and Porsche at their disposal. Mazda doesn't care about that badge, they really just want to make vehicles that they would be proud to drive. Mazda is a winner in all aspects.

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Here's an interesting point. In the USA, by and large the RAV4 is more popular. In Australia, it's the other way around!

[@sleamhnan]

Toyota obviously has a stellar reputation. The problem is when you are toying between both the Mazda steals your heart with the style and design. So I went for the Mazda thinking it is designed and built in Japan, a real plus to me. Also if they put that much attention to detail with the design and style they must have put the same effort in the transmission, engine and the other functioning aspects that drive the car. In Japan it is total commitment to quality it's not halfway. They obviously have put a lot of effort in innovation with the Skyactive engine and transmission. So I smell commitment to innovation and excellence. My fingers are crossed but as we all know there are no sure things in life.

[@Lg8T3]

how about an update on the cx 5?

I have no complains about the automatic transmission in my CX-5 Diesel. We also own a CX-3 (Benzine) and both transmission shifts smooth. I never had the impression, that the transmission in the false gear.

[@scrapplepig]

So Shia LaBeouf is doing you tube reviews now.

[@M9_Prime]

Does mazda only offer unlimited milage warranty in Canada? It was a huge factor when I bought my 2016 cx5. Also that joystick to control the infotainment is the best. I forget it's a touch screen which is good because I don't have finger prints all over the screen. Plus it's so easy to control with the joystick, even on rougher side roads. Only complaint is that the maps could be more updated, in my area there is a subdivision where a golf course used to be, it's been there for 5 years, map still says it's a golf course but that's TomToms business. When buying I looked at RAV4 and rouge. I felt with RAV4 it was way more money and rouge just felt cheap (it was the cheapest) sure rouge has panoramic sunroof but the rest is meh. I got the mazda GS with Nav for less than base RAV4 with just a backup cam. That means I got sunroof, rims, nav, blind spot monitors, rear cross traffic detection, auto lights, auto wipers, fog lamps, unlimited milage warranty, mazda roadside assistance, exhaust tips and push button start (that I can remember) for less than a regular turn key RAV4 with hub caps and just a backup camera with not other safety feature. I know the new 2017 have the assisted braking but so does cx5 apart from Base model (GS) but you truly don't know how nice blind spot monitors are until it's raining heavily and the guy in the right lane has 1 barely working headlight and a black car. Seeing that light on in the mirror confirms that he's there whereas my eyes are giving me a little doubt.

It's my wife's car and cost was not the overriding factor & but driving, AWD, comfort, styling & general all round capabilities made the decision. I have owned all the luxury or premium brands with the exception of Bentley & RR over the past few years & if the badges & logos were removed from the Platinum 2.2d CX5 with all the bells & whistles, this car more than stands it's ground. I traded in a Merc. for a Volvo 1 year ago & I can honestly say that after spending time in the new Mazda, I have now major regrets.

Seat comfort needs you to try them yourself. I used to own Camry's which had more comfortable seats than my CX5. Don't get me wrong, my CX5 is also comfortable, as long as I use a small cushion for lumbar support.

styleomatic -- Sure you have a RAV4, I believe it. I guess you are just really stupid buying something you hate? Good luck with the Mazda, it ought to run for a year or two.

[@styleomatic]

Brian P - I bought the RAV4 after owning 9 Toyotas, I figured Toyota knew what they were doing by then. Also, I test drove the Rav4 in temps under 30° thinking the stiff ride and hard seats were from the cold weather, NOPE. In addition, a clunky infotainment / bluetooth system and rattle filled interior body integrity doesn't show itself right away. Toyota built a reliable motor and transmission in the 2013 RAV4, thumbs up there. The rest of it, from the body paint to the interior body integrity are lower quality. In the last year, I've test drove and researched SUV's all over the spectrum: Volvo, Acura, Honda, Nissan, BMW, VW, Audi, Jeep and Lexus. Mazda is building GREAT cars. No longer under the Ford umbrella, Mazda is completely made in Japan, like Toyota used to be. Only speaking of the new CX-5 vs. a RAV4, the Mazda kicks it's ass.

[@ZoneCrasher]

The Mazda's front end looks weird, then I realize it doesn't have normal fog lights. Very Tesla-ish look.

[@phillips3390]

Give me many reasons why? Let's start with the suspension turning ratios, compression rations, transmission response time, starting price, awd system, 0-60, skid ABS control, torque, intake CFM, Entertainment System, controller feed back quality response, interior quality, how easy is it to maintain the vehicle, how fast brakes work, how well the handling is, what type of piston design, head Port design, valve train design, compare these to the trash RAV4 that does not improve in nothing. And the most beautiful thing about skyactiv GDI engines is that Mazda figured out a way to use 87 octane instead of 91 or higher octane. Gdi's are supposed to take high octane fuels. Not with Mazda due to their Hemi Pistons. Skyactiv engines are getting so good that they don't even have to use spark plugs on their gas engines. The high compression ratios make the skyactiv motor run up to 70 miles per gallon that's way better than a damn Prius or hybrid rav4. Whats bad ass about the Mazda company is that they done something that Toyota would have never figure out. And that was the rotory engine. They already have a skyactive rotary. What's scary is that a stock skyactiv rotary produced a higher output power and speed then a GTR. Put that rotary in a cx5. Mazda! because the Mazda company is coming to power. I have high hopes in Mazda and the rotory

[@carfo]

Fequi Simon indeed, less technology less to worry about maintenance cost. Had Mazda and every part I had to fix or was more expensive than Toyota or Honda. More technology more worries when having to fix

[@facesplaces]

style 20 there are two types of people in this world, forward thinkers who embrace technology and then the bureaucratic traditional folks. As such, from a Marketing standpoint both Toyota and Mazda are catering to two different segments. Those who want the latest and greatest forward leading technology will opt for Mazda while others who want a point A to B vehicle and an overall minimalist will go for the Toyota. Love the RAV4 for their reliability and simplicity but in this case the cx 5 won me over! Best in class design and tech. I almost feel Mazda is the bridge between Toyota and Lexus at this point in terms of overall quality .

[@M9_Prime]

godfatherNYC I don't know where this reliability thing is coming from. In Ontario Canada mazda has Unlimited milage warranty for 5 years. I commute 89km 1 way to work daily (178km daily) so I bought the cx5 (2016) to have that piece of mind for 5 years. I can drive it all I want. I also had a friend that bought that cx5 and it wasn't for him (his family is tall, like almost 7' tall so his son didn't have enough room in the back) and ended up buying a 3 row pathfinder but he got a lot of his money back on the mazda (had 40,000km on it) because the Nissan dealer knew it had unlimited milage warranty and there was still 4 years of warranty left. The dealer told him the warranty is most of the reason that value retained so well. The next owner still has 4 years of worry free driving. Personally I also bought the extra warranty so all my electronics are covered as well and rentals are covered if work takes a while. I had a check engine code come up and it was just an update but I brought it in. They couldn't look at it that day so I left in a rental, picked my car up the next day with a smile and handshake.

[@godfatherNYC]

I hear ya. Sounds good. I know Toyota reliability is legendary. It seems that many other automakers are getting way better these days, including Mazda. Enjoy your CX5! I just got a new 2017 Lexus ES 300h that gets 40 mpg and its just blowing my mind how nice this car is.

(The Rav4 is solid old school,and the CX5 is luxury looking!)

[@billnuzzi8240]

I don't know, I guess it it up to each person, I have a 2016 Rav4 SE and I have a family member who has the Mazda CX5, both are good and reliable vehicles, for me, I like the Rav4 better, although the CX5 is more luxury then the Rav, the Rav gives more fun to drive, plus, with the largest cargo space in it's class, helps with hauling all the things you need to. Price, the 37k for the Rav they are showing, is just not needed, you can get the SE or the limited, which will have all the things the Platinum has for a few thousands less, and still compare to the Mazda. Again, bottom line, it comes down to the person looking at the vehicle, better resale value, more cargo space, the Rav wins in my book. As for apple car play or Android Auto, Toyota has the Entune app, gives you all Android auto gives you and more

[@M9_Prime]

Bill Nuzzi the CX3 is a smaller car than the RAV4. It's not meant to compete with Rav4, to get a real comparison you need cx5. I don't even know what car Toyota makes that the same class as cx3, Honda has the HR-V and Chevy has Trax, Nissan has the Juke but Toyota and Hyundai (Kia) don't really have anything that siZe here in Canada

[@billnuzzi8240]

sorry about that Marcin Kawa, I meant the CX5, not the CX3, my bad, lol, but thank you for the response, much appreciated. The Toyota that would compare with the CX3 would be the new Toyota CH-R, for me, not much to look at, inside or out, thanks again friend

Regarding transmission in the CX-5 being always in the wrong gear, and how in-between setting between regular and sport would help -- you know what would help and completely eliminate the problem? Manual transmission. Bring it as an option. Problem solved.

Buddy is crazy in the review. CX-5 has the best timings out of every CUV on the market right now in terms of auto transmissions. Every review but his has praised the gear shifting in the 6 speed auto. Hell, I own a 2017 and can tell you first hand that it's a pleasure to drive compared the test drive I did with the RAV4. Almost bought a Sportage Turbo, but found the CX-5 to be a better drive overall(fun factor and handling) and that's what counts the most with me. I had to go auto not manual with this one and I'm happy with my choice.

Excellent comparison, I test drove both and I felt the Mazda more modern and quieter than the Toyota. The interior of the Toyota looks old and needs a refresh. The Mazda salesman told me the cx-5 will get Apple care play/ Android auto as a free install this fall.

Toyota is ugly, Mazda is beautiful period.

[@Dongzzzzzz]

M4st3rm1nd said no one ever. Toyota looks freaking cheap and sluggish handling (compared to mazda)

[@marlonmullon]

what happened to this video the other day?

[@AutoGuide]

We had a slight premature launch there with some technical issues, so this is the final draft.

[@xoclegin]

AutoGuide.com This is the wrong comparision when can we get the crv vs cx5?

[@AutoGuide]

Next week!

[@du-gu2mm]

cx5 and crv conpensated with the looks but still they can't beat rav4 in terms of sales hahaha! people with brain will take rav rather than mazda/crv. bulletproof powertrain baby!!!

[@Kaminaari]

Why is that RAV4 so ugly?? It looks like something straight out of the early 2000s. The CX-5 on the other hand is gorgeous!!

[@jorgeangelrodriguez6251]

The mazda looks gorgeous and has a more premium interior , the toyota has better reputation and bigger space BUT omg IT DOES LOOK UGLY AND DATED!!!! , if you are a family guy that just wants a reliable transportation from A to B i guess that is only when the Toyota makes some sense, period.
