Mazda CX-5 2017 vs Lexus UX 2018
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mazda CX-5) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Lexus UX) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

Performance | |||
| Power: | 175 HP | 171 HP | |
| Torque: | 420 NM | 205 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9.5 seconds | 9.2 seconds | |
| Mazda CX-5 engine produces 4 HP more power than Lexus UX, whereas torque is 215 NM more than Lexus UX. Despite the higher power, Mazda CX-5 reaches 100 km/h speed 0.3 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.8 | 5.8 | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 58 litres | 47 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1000 km in combined cycle | 810 km in combined cycle | |
| Mazda CX-5 gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
Mazda CX-5 has 4x4: Engine power is automatically (without driver intervention) distributed among the wheels based on conditions using a hydraulic multi-disc clutch, viscous clutch, or similar traction control device. Some systems allow locking of multi-disc clutch manually for permanent all wheel drive. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 193 mm (7.6 inches) | 160 mm (6.3 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Mazda CX-5 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 300'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Mazda CX-5 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 12 years | 7 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Mazda 6 | Used also on Toyota RAV4 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mazda CX-5 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
