Just for everyone wondering why the torque is so low: Toyota has never posted combined torque figures for their dual electric motor/full hybrid systems (they do for their single motor versions that use a real transmission, like the Sequoia and Crown Platinum). The torque figure is for the gasoline engine component ONLY. Apparently figuring it out is too complicated with the two electric motors up front and the added one in the back for AWD...but performance of the RAV4 hybrid and CX-50 hybrid shows that the real world torque are competitive with the Tucson and Sportage.

[@RonAhL]

thanks for this, i'm also wondering why my lexus 350h only has 240nm torque while the honda civic e hev can reach a maximum torque of 315nm.haha

[@JMaxx-z5r]

the 160lb/ft is the gas engine. I have sat in the New camry awd and the 18 rav4 hybrid limited. i would place the torque in between the 2004 Jetta TDi stage 1, and the old Volvo S60 R, its in there somewhere. There isnt a exact number as its on demand, in Mclaren's terms, its called "torque fill".

[@Suction_]

This is miles better than a rav4 hybrid. Takes the excellent powertrain of that and puts it into a vehicle that isn't a total shitbox with recycled happy meal toys for an interior and roof rails that have leaked since 2019 with no fix in sight.

[@cbotten106]

The Prime RAV4 is a class above according to CR. Near luxury, they say.

[@colinbeckstrand2612]

Bought a used 2023 Mazda CX-50. Have done multiple long distance trips. Never once I have I felt like I have a strip of leather up my butt.

[@Jonch03]

Love this car but its sad that the us doesnt get the terracotta interior for the hybrid as well as a lot of options that candians get and the us premium plus(top trim) do not get. Yet the turbo premium plus gets those options. Only thing the us gets that stands out is the red interior. Looked at the forms and the official configurator.

@@TheTyisawesome with NA 4-cylinder engines in SUVs, heavy throttle and flooring are required pretty regularly on highway merging and passing. There's no downside - it still optimizes fuel efficiency when not imitating gears for passenger comfort

[@cbotten106]

The outboard motor effect is a massive turnoff for most buyers and since they tell the manufacturers this at nearly every customer focus group the car builders come up with ways to both mask the drone and, sadly, compromise the efficiency of the CVT in the process. Car reviewers complain regularly about CVT drone, NVH problems as well.

[@TheTyisawesome]

@@The_Stanman Hmm maybe in these boat SUVs... But I drive a NA 4-cylinder daily... I spend maybe 2% of driving time at WOT and consider my driving style to be rather sporty... Once again how long are you flooring it for.. even on a long merge ramp would be most 15 seconds to get up to speed. Can't handle that sound maybe look at EVs lol... Again i still disagree there is zero benefit to fake shifts other than duping yourself!!! and decreased performance!!

Every day I drive 30 km to work and 30 km back. The only hybrid that interests me is a plug-in. with a range - REAL! - 70 km.

Then I also have low fuel consumption and low pollution.

My dad has hemorrhoids and the stitching that was never noticeable for me ...was setting his butt on fire lol ... Yeah too much info

We’ve owned two 2019 Mazda 3 GT’s hatch and sedan, 2019 Mazda CX5 Signature and still currently own a 2021 Mazda 3 sport hatch 100 Anniversary edition. Now will we buy another Mazda ? We don’t like fully electric cars but hybrid or plug-in hybrid are on the list or at least they were until we notice that every manufacturer has bumped up the interest rates on hybrid vehicles. So not only are the prices still high but the interest rates make it even more expensive.

I have experience with both and I far prefer the mazda, but i think most people will prefer the comfier ride and more touch-centric infotainment of the toyota, and wont notice the lower quality interior, crappy handling at higher cornering speeds, etc. The parking sensor beeping in the rav4 will drive your rear passengers deaf.

[@Bmontepeque11]

The one thing I hate about the CX-30 styling is the excessive amount of plastic cladding, I remember the regular CX-50 was one of the best looking SUVs I had ever seen, but when I saw this video it just didn't look as pretty and I was like "Oh, we must have overrated the CX-50's styling, this is just the CX-30's terrible plastic cladding all over again" But when you mentioned it was actually taller and had more cladding it all made sense and yes, that's exactly why it looked weird, even the front felt weird, it felt like a bus, kinda, but that's exactly it. I wish Mazda would kill all sorts of plastic cladding. It just makes a cara look weird, there are ways to do it right (Look at the Lamborghini Urus for that) but in the way Mazda does it, it just looks terrible.

[@LloydPeters]

17 Seconds after posting. Good Morning Straight pipes!

[@Revelocity]

I don't understand why the US gets screwed for features. Mazda in general, their trim levels and so on is just way complicated then it needs to be too. I waited all this time for the hybrid version, keeping myself away from buying the Turbo Premium Plus...in hopes that the hybrid is going to have the same trim/features as the turbo ones but with the benefit of the way better fuel economy. To be honest, I'm just looking for something that is more fuel efficient than my current car, so the turbo might be ok, I only would be going from a 16 MPG (23 gallon tank) vehicle to a 25 MPG (15 gallon tank), Id save about half on fuel per year going to the turbo. The hybrid is appealing because you save more and so on... just disappointing the hybrid in the USA is "more bare bones".

Is that torque figure correct? That seems very low considering Mazda's 2.5L non-hybrid is 186. With the hybrid, I'd have expected it to be close to (if not over) 200. 163 with this much weight and CVT seems like it would feel really, really slow. Does it use Toyota's hybrid CVT system where first gear is an actual gear before the CVT takes over? Disappointed to hear that the handling wasn't great; that's something Mazda usually outshone the competition on.
