2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Turbocharger tucked behind engine. Not thrilling, but torquey. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Easy controls, but slow responses and smallish screen. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Classic white-on-black instruments. Too clean? Do people now expect more of a light show? |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
RDX has a cushier seat with larger side bolsters. A-Spec seat looks a little less wild in person. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
A passable rear seat. Most competitors (but not the RDX) are much roomier. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Driver seat lacking in lateral support. Nothing special. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Much busier inside as well. More complicated controls. A much racier red on the seats. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Far more upholstered and stitched surfaces than usual at this price point. Real wood in Signature. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
So much cleaner than the Acura. Smaller exhaust tips belie larger engine. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Truncated tail. Elegant and sporty, but not good for cargo-hauling capacity. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The Acura is also far busier and less elegant when viewed from the rear. A lot going on. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The RDX's exterior is far busier, especially the front end. Does anyone find this pretty? |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Long hood => lack of interior space. Somewhat justified by efficient exhaust manifold it permits. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
More slender headlights than on the original CX-5. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Cleaner, more elegant body sides on the second-gen CX-5. Dramatic curvy character lines deleted. |
|
2019 Mazda CX-5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Large grille highlighted by chrome trim, but a clean face by current standards. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Bronze stitching on light gray upholstery...an interesting choice. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Well-designed controls, with knobs for major functions. Note bronze stitching. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The 203-hp gas engine and 118-hp electric motor combine to yield 219 peak horsepower. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
40 inches of floor behind the second-row seat. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Not quite the roomiest rear seat in a compact crossover, but close. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The orange harness cover indicates that this is a hybrid. Much improved fuel efficiency. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
74 inches of floor behind the driver seat--among the class leaders. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Well-designed controls, with knobs for major functions. |
|
2019 Toyota RAV4 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Seat initially felt comfortable and supportive--but my rear became sore on a long drive. |
