2025 MAZDA CX-5 vs. 2025 Hyundai Tucson

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is the latest in a long line of top-selling compact SUVs. In fact, this model has been the Mazda brand’s top seller for several years now. That says a lot, given how many great vehicles are available at Bay Ridge Mazda. The performance, cabin, and trim roster of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 are exemplary, making it a strong choice versus rivals like the Hyundai Tucson.

Performance

By combining exceptional refinement, power, and versatility, this new Mazda SUV brings thrills to everyday driving. Standard features such as i-Activ AWD® and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive™) combine with two available dynamic engines. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, and the upgraded engine adds a turbocharger, increasing output to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.

On the other hand, the performance of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson is consistent, but not compelling. Only one engine is offered: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that achieves 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.

Cabin

Mazda engineers pride themselves on putting their spirit and creativity into every model. This spirit is known as Kodo Design® – the “Soul of Motion” – and it touches all facets of the vehicles at our Brooklyn, NY, Mazda dealership. The interior of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 features materials, lines, and surfaces that are all high-end and explicitly cater to the comfort and engagement of the driver. The cabin of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson, while comfortable and functional enough, lacks this same level of personal touch and premium feel.

Trim Roster

If you want a lot of trims to consider, your choice is easy. While the Hyundai Tucson offers only four trims, the Mazda CX-5 boasts eight. And this isn’t a case of quantity over quality; on the contrary, every 2025 Mazda CX-5 trim is bursting with quality, performance, and personality. For example, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Signature serves up max luxury, while the 2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition is all about curb appeal. You might find the Hyundai Tucson lineup to be a bit vanilla by comparison.
