2019 Toyota RAV4 Vs 2019 Mazda CX-5 – Which One Is The BEST?

mazda all the way. the only thing the mazda needs is a pano sunroof option

That was a dope intro shot

lake background looks amazing.

Why is he just saying how good it is to drive it? How come he doesn't say about the cars reliability and durability. All he saying is the icing on the cake.

No I would never invest $30,000 on a Mazda. We had two and they were junks. Now I invest in Toyotas the last 40 years. Yes I test drove the RAV4 and I thought it was too noisy but that's because I'm 50 years old and I just bought a brand new 2018 Highlander. You know how nice and quiet the Highlander is… right? Yes if you're young you'll pick the Mazda too like my two stupid nephews

Nice video. CX-5 you can choose beep, rumble, or steering wheel vibration for the lane departure warning.

Mazdas are Garbage . Poorly made , rubbish transmissions , they do not deserve to be reviewed . Especially against anything from Toyota .

Toyota is trying to imitate the funkiness of the Volvo XC-40 with the RAV-4! Good that they trying to change thier boring designs and driving characteristics though!

Wish you did a rav4 2019 comparison against the crv 2019 great job regardless

And Toyota need to get on board with the Android auto

If you value your money, you will buy the Toyota RAV4. It's reliable, it holds it value really well, and it's great on gas. Toyotas will last you for more than 20 years without major problems with giving them their proper maintenance.

Right, a 40k family, everyday driver SUV. How does a couple with kids afford these vehicles? The car market has gotten totally out of hand. Oh, and a Panoramic Sunroof for only another grand or so!

Hi I have a RAV4 trail now I enjoy driving it. Engine have lots of power the 8 spid transmission is smooth. Runs nice araund the curves it is sporty enough for me .the towing capacity 3500lbs is great this is one reason I got one.
I live in the country and drive lots of gravel roads. The RAV4 trail is a great car for me to drive.

Sorry but the rav 4 looks hideous with that big mouth.

Old Rav4 looked better. Modern Rav4 looks like a tonka truck. I hate it

Good review. Thanks for stating your opinions or own personal preferences as such, vs. what come off as facts (as some other reviewers do). As you imply, it comes down to preferences and the RAV4 (But the hybrid) is mine.

Mazda may be more fun to drive on road but the back seat looks to tight and the infotainment is boring and dated. Use the radial instead of touch screen while the car is in drive, are you kidding me? that seems way more dangerous. If i was forced to pick between these two it would be the Rav4. But both are way to expensive, for the 40k range get a top of the line Kia Telluride or a Volvo XC40 which blow both of these cars away in features and comfort. If you want to spend less get a Forester, if you want to spend more go upsegment and get a Middle-Upper range Highlander for the same price. If you're only desire is to go off-road Toyota then just buy a 4Runner Off-Road Premium for the same price. These compacts that are seriously lacking in features/power shouldn't be in the same price range as the bigger SUVs that offer so much more, that's the point of going down a segment.

Sofyan, you mentioned that Mazda recommends premium fuel in the 2.5T engine. This isn't necessarily true. Mazda states that at lower octane, the hp is rated at 227, despite the 310 lbs ft of torque remaining the same. At higher octane that figure jumps to a maximum of 250hp. Mazda has never said that premium is recommended or necessary, as some turbocharged engines from other manufacturers require. I know you know this however, as I have heard you state it on other reviews of this engine. Outstanding comparison review by the way.

I wish Toyota would just move all there engines down a level. Bring the 3.5 from the Tacoma to the rav, bring the 4.6 option from the tundra to the Tacoma and 4Runner retiring the 4runners old 4.0, and the tundra keep its 5.7

I hope when my lease is over with my CX5, Mazda has brought in their CX8 in America.
