| Diesel (Honda CR-V) 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 (Mazda CX-5) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Ground clearance: | 165 mm (6.5 inches) | 210 mm (8.3 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. Note, however, that this Mazda CX-5 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from five 4x4 versions of Mazda CX-5 2015 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||

| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 420'000 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: | 13 years | 14 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Honda Civic, Honda HR-V | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Mazda 6, Mazda 3, Mazda MX-5, Mazda CX-3 | |
