Which is the Right SUV for You?
EFFICIENCY
Where the RAV4 really has a leg up is with the addition of a hybrid powertrain. This motor achieves an EPA-estimated 41 city/38 highway MPG for even lengthier explorations.1 Unfortunately, only a gas engine is available on the Mazda CX-5.
Roam Longer
When you’re out exploring the open road, the last thing you want to do is schedule out a pit stop along the way. With the 2022 Toyota RAV4, you can leave the gas station in your rearview mirror, since its 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine earns an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG.1
The Mazda CX-5 takes a slight efficiency dip, with an EPA-estimated 24 city/30 highway MPG, so you may find yourself running to the pump more often.
CARGO
When trekking all over the country, there are numerous essentials you’ll need to bring along. Make sure you come equipped for the right SUV for the adventure.
Pack It All In
The 2022 Toyota RAV4 ensures everything has its place with 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space. If you drive the Mazda CX-5, you may have to leave some of your gear at home, since you’ll have just 30.8 cubic feet of cargo room.
Both cabins are completely configurable to meet your needs as well. Simply fold the rear seat down as needed to fit larger cargo, like your mountain bikes and camping gear. Once again, the RAV4 has more space with 69.8 cubic feet of room, while the Mazda CX-5 only offers 59.3 cubic feet of space.
SAFETY
Your adventures will be much more enjoyable when you know you’re protected at every turn. The 2022 Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 have you covered with the many standard features
Protected Explorations
Both the Toyota RAV4 and the Mazda CX-5 are standardly equipped with plenty of impressive safety features, including:

- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
However, Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 in the RAV4 takes security one step further with standard Road Sign Assist on every trim level. This system intelligently reads the road and alerts you to detected Do Not Enter, yield, stop, and speed-limit signs.
If you want this same feature on your Mazda CX-5 though, you’ll need to choose the highest trim level.
