SUV Battle 2022: Fuel Economy Test | Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4 & Chevrolet Equinox

[@Hyku72]

A little suggestion for improving results. Change drivers several times during the test in order to avoid the driver bias and also change cars positions on highway (or keep a safer distance) to avoid aerodynamic biased results

[@CowenGittens]

Not what I was expecting in these tests, but these are the more practical tests when considering purchasing an SUV, especially for off-roading

[@Wisteria-090]

Absolutely loved this! Best off-road channel imo !! Thank you team SUV battle :)

[@rustom1981]

Love the test , but on road test was not good ( driving the cars behind each other will limit air drag , first car will have most air resistance so it will take more fuel) other than that the off road was great 👍🏼

[@jean-louishamid5285]

I was good on the fuel economy rankings, but definitely got a surprise on the off-road segment 👍🏻

[@SUVBattle]

Have you been on this channel previously?

[@jean-louishamid5285]

@@SUVBattle Yes, I've watched most of your videos, if not all, and my dream car is the Nissan Patrol 👌

[@desislavvalchev6755]

The Mazda was on front, so you have to consider that this SUV takes the whole air pressure and will have bigger consumption, if the Mazda was as second car, than you could expect much better result. Ive made with my Mazda cx 5 with I-loop 2,5 L/194 HP yesterday 5L/100 km behind a Truck with arround 90km/h for arround 30 km highway and 15 km city. You can drive it really cheap, but only when you are under 110-120 km/h, than with constant speed the engine shuts 2 cylinders and you will lower the consumption.

[@wizard-of-other-oz]

Is there a speed Mazda shuts 3 cylinders down and transforms into a motorbike?)

[@someone12345]

I really like these kind of videos, i like to see cars getting pushed to their limits especially these mini suv or cross over, I'm a fan of this video

[@spike4u2u]

Very good collaboration and demonstration of vehicles. You guys have a great format. Bravo 👏

[@jbm0866]

Good format, but flawed when it comes to fuel economy testing. These guys obviously never raced seriously or hyper-miled.

[@soufyenbouzakher1766]

Today I think Mazda is the best choice.

[@nguyendung1776]

[@tinioespinal]

Great video. I loved it. The Toyota disappointed me and the Hyundai surprised me. Keep it up guys!

[@tylerharvey8299]

Would be interesting to see fi you can get a newer mazda with the designated offroad mode. It's made a world of difference in every video I've seen of the Mazda.

[@tropicalstorm339]

Weigh the cars before and after the test (after fill up) to get a more accurate fuel consumption result. If a car weighs more than before the test, it means you put more gas after the test than before the test and you have to adjust your calculations accordingly. The same goes if a car weighs less after the test than before the test. It means you put less gas after the test than before the test and you have to adjust your calculations accordingly.

[@myyt3824]

I just bought a 23 CX-5 and I’m obsessed!!!

[@BulliezInc]

I’m glad you are enjoying it . I just think the cx5 needs a 7 or 8 speed transmission for better fuel economy .

[@opa-age]

Anyone who drives Mazdas know how amazingly fuel efficient they are.

Yes sir.

[@georgemitchel23]

I just bought a 2024 Chevy Equinox... THANK YOU for this video, I did noticed this past month that my boy chugs gas like a bigger boy, but the torque it showed in this video, makes it worth it...!!!

[@4WHEELSHOP4X4]

we saw the best in off road was the Hyundai Tucson, it seems the electronic traction control was superior if difficult terrain, by the other hand the equinox seems better devolpment in off road because te driver use momentum for cruise the difficult terrain. congratulations for your good job making so interesting videos.

[@mirodr8814]

Perfect test, thank you boys, you will always please me, I am your big fan. I keep my fingers crossed and wish a lot of energy for more perfect videos. Greetings from Slovakia Current owner: Toyota RAV4 AWD hybrid (2021) and Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCi (2015)

[@whpooalghamdi8666]

The best channel to show the actual capabilities of vehicles, really thank you for this effort, and I hope to make a comparison between ( xterra vs everest vs montero sport vs mux vs fortuner).

[@hege750]

Considering there are lots of KZbin channels that do fuel consumption tests, but there are very few channels that arrange large scale off-road testing, I think you should keep your focus on the latter. Btw, really waiting for the next video with a bunch of different Land Rovers!

[@DerBesucher1]

Pleasantly surprised about the Mazda CX-5. It is going to be my next car. I've watched this great video as a reassurance of my choice. I wonder what the updated 2022 model consumption would be as in this video, the 2017 model was used. Great video !!

[@wilius999]

Amazing test! Waiting for a new cx5 test!

[@franswinata1951]

As CX-5 owner, I must highly appreciate to the engineers in Mazda for inventing such a wonderful ICE system : SKYACTIV. I haven't tried off road track with my car, I hope its 194HP & 253Nm Torque can help to conquer difficult tracks.

[@cgenpro175]

How about frequent overheating, is it a true story for CX-5?

Amazing Video. Would be awesome if you could put a 2021 CX-5 instead of this 2017 one.

[@gogileli]

Yes... and from 2021 Mazda CX5 has off road mode button... a big diference in offroading....

[@daniel9985]

Wow!! It's a comparison of the century...... I especially like the work of tcs in rock and dirt mode of RAV4 which eliminate wheel spin..... I would love you to compare the Ford Everest or Ford ranger with 3.2litre 5 cylinder and another one with 2.0litre biturbo 4 cylinder diesel engine to see the difference in fuel economy of similar cars but different engine

[@AdnanKhan-yo7hf]

Damn I was waiting for this video

[@arvin6606]

Suggestion, don't drive too close to the car ahead. It has been tested by MythBusters that following near the car ahead could increase fuel economy up to 45%

[@sherwinlazarous6768]

I was expecting the vehicles that are 2021 model to be more fuel efficient but the CX-5 surprised me the most

[@gamebuster800]

I have the 2.5 AWD and it is nowhere that thirsty and i’m not a patient driver. they must have been hitting these cars hard.

Very underrated channel!

[@mkm1811]

Amazing comparison. Would love to see it with more vehicles like the Honda Cr-V, Nissan Rogue etc

[@djczaar2255]

I tend to think that if the test was about fuel consumption, it was not necessary to do the off-road test since some cars will use lots of fuel due to their non off-road capabilities hence the results being biased..

[@CJ-zz9ts]

The fuel test exprimental is absolutely incredibly well done, Diyas! Love and respect all humble Kazakh warrior!

[@speedemon1992]

CX-5 2017 vs 2021 other models 😐 and the newer Cx5 models have an off - road mode that is shown in other reviews like CarQuestion and TFL

[@AdnanKhan-yo7hf]

Well there was certain upgrade in Hyundai tucson as compared to previous versions

[@mks1702]

A suggestion would be to increase the engine noise for more immersion . Amidst the voice and bgm the engine noise is barely audible . It used to be better in ur older videos so it would be nice if u reverted back!

[@SUVBattle]

It was windy day when we filmed this video. You will hear only sound distortion if I make engine sound louder :(

Lol，love from Canada，picked my chevy equinox 2.0T AWD midnight edition in late 2019s, when I bought the chevy, the only competitor was Mazda CX5 2.5 for the excellent handling,RAV 4 was never an option.

[@franciscotrujillo5211]

I like this tests a lot, great video as always. I wonder how the CX-50 would perform on this test, considering is a "more focused" off road version of the CX5. Cheers from Panama.

[@speedgtr1958]

A 2021 Mazda CX 5 would do better than the 2017 Mazda CX 5 they have in this. Idk why they put a 2017 Mazda going against 2021 cars here.

[@jamesreed1969]

I think cx 50 is for us market for now. To my understanding this video was recorded in Kazakhstan.

Amazing video... i dont understand why you don't have millions of views

[@marzero116]

Considering the Mazda's four years older than the rest I'm actually super impressed.

[@Steathl]

Hello I think the main idea of the test is good. But I have a few observations. First, when rolling on the highway, distance between cars should be longer to avoid wind resistance being broken from the car in front to the following car. Less resistance, less gas consumption. Second, of road should be measure without measuring gas (i did not understand if actually it was).

[@pierreguy2700]

grat test, we waiting for another one !

[@speedgtr1958]

Why is 2017 Mazda CX5 in this going against 2021 Toyota, Hyundai and Chevrolet. If you cant have 2020 or 21 Mazda in this why you even putting it in.

[@TimothyShultz]

Would have liked to see how the Subaru Forester compares.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

They never tested the off-road version of the CX-5. Also, Mazda states the CX-5 is not meant for serious off-road operation. The newer CX-50 with off-road software apparently is the best they offer now, but they never tested it. Amazing to me is the Mazda with only a 6 speed automatic and technology dating back to 2012 still got the best gas consumption of these four cars. Sometimes old tech with an engine is the most economical apparently.

[@miltongonzalez8726]

Mazda got 1st place even with the rest drafting off it.

[@Boringunguy]

Yea. Seems weird they wouldn’t have rotated them

[@유영우-m3j]

Please allow for considerable distance between vehicles while driving on the highway. It's not only unfair for gas consumption estimates but also very dangerous in case of an accident. The following vehicles don't have room to suddenly stop or avoid a rear end collision with each other.

[@mbeo7818]

1. a great shortness; Mazda was always in first position and this is a disadvantage (ask for it from any cyclist). In the past, rehearsals have been made about it, probably a 10%, perhaps more, should probably be removed from Mazda. 2. Mazda moving first had to curb and check more while the others could prevent decelerating in advance and accelerating a little less.

[@pavlededaj8799]

Would like to see same test done with Audi, BMW and mercedes thanks for really good show

[@ravenx3606]

[@Victork32]

I can tell you that Hyundai Santa Fe's or Tuscon's are great AWD vehicles but unfortunately I've had two vehicles AWD fail. First time the transfer case gear was torn. The second was a viscous coupler in the rear. They are very weak with respect to AWD. If you are using this video to decide which to buy, I would stay away from Hyundai.

[@matus201]

I saw that Touareg in the background :)

[@andybeltrami8441]

Hyundai beats those other suv, better design and all above.

[@IrajMatthee]

Mazda won because in the last test uphill, the lightest SUV will most times than not win the fuel consumption test. The lighter the vehicle the better it drives economically.

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

I was surprised to see that the Toyota couldn’t distribute torque effectively even with the twin clutch and physical first gear in the cvt. They must have programmed the traction control system to aggressively reduce engine torque to protect the cvt.

[@SUVBattle]

The ability of torque distribution also depends from obstacle angle. Now I want to bring the RAV4 with 2.5 and twin clutch on the current (main) obstacle to see the difference.

[@Nightfury0695]

@@SUVBattle Get the 2.5l adventure one if possible, they are so capable off-road.

[@jbm0866]

Fuel consumption test is bogus if you did the little convoy shown on camera. Any hypermiler can tell you the lead car is at a disadvantage because it's the only one that has to push against the air. Of course putting at least two car lengths between each car would make it more fair, but it doesn't look like you've done that. I haven't gotten to the economy portion of the video yet but I'm guessing the leading CX-5 either came in last or second to last to the Equinox with the more powerful and thirsty turbo engine. Edit- I was wrong which suggests the drivers of each vehicle kept an appropriate distance from each other, no slipstreaming. I'm surprised the Rav4 with a CVT didnt win the economy test, but it is the least aerodynamic of the 4 which does make a difference.

Now there are a few versions of 2.0 engines out there. But I'm surprised a 2021 with 147 hp. Seems a bit underpowered. I'd go for the 2.5 model. Has decent power.
