Honda CR-V 2017 vs Mazda CX-5 2018
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| 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. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

Performance | |||
| Power: | 160 HP | 165 HP | |
| Torque: | 350 NM | 213 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 10 seconds | 10.3 seconds | |
|
Honda CR-V is more dynamic to drive. Honda CR-V engine produces 5 HP less power than Mazda CX-5, but torque is 137 NM more than Mazda CX-5. Despite less power, Honda CR-V reaches 100 km/h speed 0.3 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.1 | 7.0 | |
|
The Honda CR-V is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Honda CR-V consumes 1.9 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mazda CX-5, which means that by driving the Honda CR-V over 15,000 km in a year you can save 285 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 53 litres | 58 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1030 km in combined cycle | 820 km in combined cycle | |
| 1100 km on highway | 950 km on highway | ||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | |
| Ground clearance: | 165 mm (6.5 inches) | 193 mm (7.6 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: | 330'000 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: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Mazda 6, Mazda 3, Mazda MX-5, Mazda CX-3 | |
| 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. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Mazda CX-5 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Mazda CX-5 2018 2.0 engine: This engine is not well-suited for low-quality fuel, as it quickly clogs the fuel system. The use of substandard fuel often leads to the failure of expensive ignition coils, resulting in significant repair ... More about Mazda CX-5 2018 2.0 engine | |||

| Trunk capacity: | 497 litres | 506 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
1110 litres | 1620 litres | |
| Despite its longer length, Honda CR-V has 9 litres less trunk space than the Mazda CX-5.

| Turning diameter: | 11.4 meters | 11 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Honda CR-V is 0.4 metres more than that of the Mazda CX-5, which means Honda CR-V can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 2`200 | 2`115 | |
| Safety: | |||
| The Honda CR-V scores significantly higher in active safety technologies (stability control, lane assist, automatic braking, etc.) tests. | |||
