Tusan is tired car, Mazda is sharp and fun cars with reliability.

In January of 2022 We got a Hyundai Tucson 2022 basic package and couldn’t regret it more.
Entertainment system will turn off out of nowhere and just blackout, sometimes it would not connect to my IPhone at all until I stop and shutdown the engine.
We went through lemon law and they decided it was not a reason to do a buy back. Also, the handles started peeling since like the 2nd month of use. And they didn’t do anything about it either.
We stayed 2 years with it.
This year we went car shopping and finally got a Mazda CX-5 Turbo Premium 2024 is working great until now but we have had it for 1 month only, so will see how good it is.
And price difference was around $10k

About 2 weeks ago, i rented a silver 2024 tucson for 10 days. I was very impressed by the comfort of the seats, the peppy engine, the ride and handling of this car. Since I am a big fan of the cx-5, I felt the cx-5 would be even better, but had never been inside one. However, two days ago I rented a gray 2025 cx-5. While the car is certainly competent at what it does, is very good on gas and cruises nicely, I was more impressed by the tucson in comparison. It's just a nicer driving car for me. My wife who is the passenger also prefers the tuscon. Btw, the gray paint of the mazda seems a magnet for dust etc. I'd never pick this color for myself. So before buying the cx-5, try the tucson.

I drove both car. For me both look great. I own 23 tucson limited AWD and my girlfriend has 2022 CX-5 Signature. I like space and features in tucson(rear seats recline and full panoramic sunroof). CX-5 loose acceleration sometimes going uphill is while on cruise control. Steering on CX-5 is heavy but tucson feels heavy to drive. What I like more about CX-5 is that it feels stable and well planted on highway speed while on tucson it takes efforts to keep car in a lane.

We test drove both of these cars and chose the Mazda. It's more of a premium slightly more analogue in a good wa and reliable and premium SUV. The Hyundai has the flashier screens but it seems like it's a cheap digital version that won't last long and be outdated in 2 minutes. Also, how do you use the Hyundai screen when you've got gloves on? It's dangerous driving down the road trying to click all the menus. The Mazda has an analogue navigator. Much more user friendly and safer

One is notorious engine blowing up and burns, the other one is more reliable. I choose Mazda. Hyundai has extremely engine failures

Hyundai with 2wd gets same mileage as Mazda AWD. Hyundai requires additional cost for AWD. Hyundai materials look good, but the actual feel of them is several grades below Mazda. I went with the CX-5. Bonus for me was the no massive distraction touchscreen. Only took a couple days to learn to use the controls without looking

I liked this guy in Groundhog Day as the camera man! 😂

We looked at both of these in 2023.The Mazda interior was a lot better than the Hyundai, even with a higher end hybrid comparison. The gas mileage on the base engine for both was about the same. What sold us on the Mazda not mentioned here is the reliability. The Mazda uses the tried-and-true Skyactive high compression engine built since 2012 which is very reliable for 200, 000 miles. The Hyundai uses the notorious Theta II engine which you can see reports all over the internet and YouTube failing after 100, 000 miles. So in the end it is a no brainer - you want a nicer car on the inside that will last twice as long, buy the Mazda. Want the fancier electronics and an engine that has a good chance of dying at 100, 000 miles get the Hyndavi. We bought Mazda.

The CX-5 & Tucson are both considered compact crossovers. They're not midsize because that's why Hyundai has the Sante Fe & the CX-9 at the time was Mazda's only midsize option. Now the CX-70 & CX-90 both fit that role with the 70 being the two row version of the 90

[pandapanda]

which one is better? beacuse many user complain about Korean is not quality enough

Wait for Tucson facelift as they're bringing back knobs and buttons

I test drove both of these cars today. I had my heart set on the CX-5. I wanted so badly to love it but just couldn’t. I was so surprised after all of the glowing reviews I’ve read. The driver’s cabin is cramped and uncomfortable. I couldn’t find a comfortable driving position even with the adjustable power seats. I’m 5’1” and the seat bottom was too long for my legs. As a result I had to push the seat forward further than I would’ve liked, adding to the cramped feel. The seat also doesn’t tilt forward making it impossible for me to keep my heel on the ground when my foot is on the gas/brake pedal. Speaking of the gas pedal, it is incredibly stiff and requires more muscle to depress than it should. The steering is stiff as well. Yeah, the car has zoom-zoom, but driving it felt like work. The driver’s center console is useless as it’s low and too far back to be used as an armrest. The backseat has virtually no legroom, even for me! I don’t know what this guy is talking about.😂 I did drive the CX 50 to compare and despite bottom of the drivers seat being hard and flat, It felt much more spacious and comfortable overall.

The Hyundai Tucson driver seat felt luxuriously plush in comparison. I didn’t love the giant touchscreen as I prefer some knobs and
buttons. The steering wheel has an odd noticeable edge if you hold it at eight and four like i do. Not a dealbreaker. It was pleasant to drive, nothing bad to say about it. It had more of a family car feel.

There is no question that Mazda makes nice vehicles. Based purely on aesthetics though, the Tucson is simply more impressive inside and out.

[Ricky-momv]

The CX-5 design is very tired inside and out, and really doesn’t offer much for the price tag. If you want to go with a new Mazda, hold out for the third generation iteration which is speculated to be renamed the CX-40. You have to hunt for the real images, but it looks like it’s going to be 🔥🔥

why isnt Tucson pronounced the way its spelled? should be called TUCK SON or why is the letter c even in the word? yes sometimes the C letter has the S sound but in this case there is already an S in the word. maybe spell it TOOSON or TOOS AHN
