MAZDA CX-5 VS HYUNDAI TUCSON: STANDARD ENGINE OPTIONS
Looking at these vehicles, you’re sure to find a high-performance engine that’s great for providing you with an exhilarating ride. Under the hood of the Hyundai Tucson is a standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine with 161 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque to provide you with a peppy and dynamic everyday drive.
As we move over to the Mazda CX-5, we have a standard Skyactiv®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. This motor amps things up with 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque at your fingertips.
HIGH-POWER OPTIONS
If you’re looking to kick out a bit more force from your powertrain, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 is able to provide. When equipped with a Skyactiv®-G 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo 4-cylinder powertrain, you’ll be treated to an invigorating blend of 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.
On the other hand, the Tucson’s available engine only reaches 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque.
TIGHT, RESPONSIVE HANDLING
What would a high-powered engine be without tight driving dynamics to improve your overall handling? With both the 2021 Mazda CX-5 and the Hyundai Tucson, you’ll have access to an available all-wheel drive driveline that improves handling while on difficult terrain. You’ll be able to navigate sand and gravel with confidence while driving either of these SUVs.
Drivers looking at the Mazda CX-5 will have a bit more technology on their side, though, with its standard Skyactiv®-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus system. This technology reduces engine power while turning a corner, in order to reduce the need for small corrections in your steering. Overall, you’ll find that this feature improves handling comfort and even reduces driver fatigue.
Since the Tucson doesn’t offer this system, you may notice a difference when it comes to performance.
