It's time to revisit our compact-SUV comparison test to see if changes to the 2019 Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 mean they can unseat our current champion, the Honda CR-V. Last year, the Honda CR-V took the crown, but the Toyota RAV4 has been totally redesigned, and the Mazda CX-5 has a new engine and a new luxurious top trim level. We test all three crossovers at the track, drive them in the suburbs, load them full of cargo, and figure out what all the buttons do so that we can pick a winner. Which small SUV is the best? Watch our triple test to find out.
2019 Mazda CX-5 Review
Sharp style and sporting performance remain hallmarks of the 2019 Mazda CX-5, a small crossover SUV designed for those who enjoy a spirited drive. Excellent handling and a high-quality interior also help make it one of our top picks for a small SUV.
For 2019, the CX-5 is available in two new trim levels, Grand Touring Reserve and Signature. Both offer a broader list of premium features and conveniences this year and come with a new turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine, which is lifted from the three-row CX-9, generates up to 250 horsepower and a stout 310 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately, these upgrades don't fix the CX-5's weakness: limited cabin and cargo space compared to rivals.
Overall, however, the CX-5 is a standout. It provides an excellent balance of sportiness, comfort and practicality, and its upscale interior conveys a sense of richness that you don't find in rivals. It's a smart choice.

2019 Honda CR-V Review
The 2019 CR-V checks virtually every box on car shoppers' lists in the compact SUV segment. It makes family life easier with a cavernous cargo area, abundant backseat room, easily accessed car seat anchors, and more clever storage solutions than an Ikea. It will also keep you safe. Crash test ratings are flawless, and accident avoidance technologies are standard on all but the base trim. The comfortable ride and efficient and responsive engine wrap up the excellent value proposition.
Quite simply, the CR-V makes a ton of sense. If anything, its greatest flaw might be that it makes too much sense. Some rivals offer more memorable styling and personality, such as the Mazda CX-5 and the new Toyota RAV4. Technophiles may also find Honda's touchscreen to be frustratingly behind the times. Yet those are minor quibbles. In general, joining the CR-V-owning masses would be a pretty good idea.

2019 Toyota RAV4 Review
Redesigned for 2019, the Toyota RAV4 receives a variety of updates, including a stylish new look, a new engine, and added safety and technology features. No doubt they will contribute to the RAV4's status as the best-selling small crossover SUV on the market. But is it the ideal pick for you?
The 2019 RAV4 gets a 2.5-liter engine that produces 203 horsepower, which is 27 hp more than last year's model. And it's not just more powerful, it's more efficient, returning an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined (26 city/35 highway). And if you want the ultimate in efficiency, the RAV4 Hybrid returns 40 mpg combined.
The new RAV4 keeps the strengths of the old model ― including an easy-to-use interior, big back seat, comfortable freeway ride ― and adds more off-road capability along with standard tech and safety features. It also gets an added helping of personality.
Even with the new engine, acceleration lags behind competitors. And while the updated infotainment interface is a significant improvement compared to last year, it can be difficult to learn and use. If these are deal-breakers for you, take a look at the impressively well-rounded Honda CR-V or the stylish Mazda CX-5.

Even in the cheaper versions, Mazda has important safety features like blind spot detection,full led headlights, heads up display, and a infotainment control mouse like Mercedes and BMW have. Once you get used to it , you don’t want to reach all the way to your screen anymore. It’s much saver I think. These safety features to me are far more important then heated seats for instance.

You people are being fooled. I went to the Honda dealership and checked out a 2019 CRV that was on the lot and it had 2000 miles on the odometer. First thing I did was pull the motor oil dip stick and took a whiff of the oil on the stick and low and behold gasoline smell. It was very obvious. My wife smelled it and two salesmen smelled it. So that tells me Honda "HAS NOT!" fixed the oil dilution problem with their engines. Good luck on the resale of your Honda CRVs. I personally bought my wife a beautiful red Mazda CX5 non turbo. It is fun to drive has plenty of features along with lane assist which can be set to lightly vibrate the steering wheel or beep or turn it off. Put it in sport mode and it's a blast to drive through short straights and tight bends. Mazda has been and will always be a drivers car. Did I say the red Mazda CX5 is a much better looking SUV.

My family owns a 2017 Honda CR-V (mostly wife drives the kids around in it) and I recently got a 2019 Mazda CX-5 (only I drive it as a commuter car with the option to drive my kids around comfortably once in awhile when needed). Here's my take. CR-V: Pros: 1) Significantly more storage space in the back mostly due to vertical space, enough to add at minimum one more large suitcase vs the CX-5. 2) Surprisingly powerful, it actually accelerates with slightly more power than the CX-5 as far as I can tell. 3) Very slightly (almost insignificant) extra leg room for the back seats. 4) Handling is very tight, doesn't feel like a Toyota. It turns on a dime. CR-V Cons: 1) Louder engine noise as heard from inside the car. 2) Internal and external styling aren't bad but nothing to write home about. 3) The screen controls are based more on touch screen with buttons on the side of the screen, requiring you to reach for the screen if you want to use it beyond what the steering wheel short-cut buttons allow you to do. The overall instrument panel feels cluttered with buttons, half of which I have no idea what they do. CX-5: Pros 1) It's beautiful, both inside and out and I mean beautiful, the interior is gorgeous and feels like a real luxury car. 2) It's very quiet from inside the car as far as engine noise. 3) It has plenty of power, less acceleration in non-"sport" mode than the CR-V but I find it to be more "comfortable" to drive at high speed because the handling while tight, isn't as tight. 4) The "infotainment" controls are easy to use even when driving, you can keep your right hand down by your hip and change things easily on the dashboard level screen with it's circular "joystick" type control and volume adjustment knob without having to take your eyes off the road. CX-5 Cons: 1) Obviously the reduced storage space in the back, it's still not bad but you're basically giving up a large suitcase or cooler worth of space. 2) The blind-spot warning indicators are over-doing it. Meaning you really have to move well past a car in your blind-spot before it shuts off. I really wish they'd adjust this or it was adjustable. SUMMARY: They're both great cars, focused on greatness in different areas. I can't speak to long-term reliability yet but based on the 2 companies reputations I'm hoping they're both solid in that area. If you need more of a "mini-van" feel with lots of storage get the CR-V. It's still surprisingly extremely sporty, very powerful engine and tight handling despite that. If you want something with serious style and designed for driver comfort but can still do a decent job as a family car then the CX-5 is a great choice. I LOVE my CX-5, just driving it makes me feel all warm inside but if you care more about the "stats" and need something to drive the kids on long road-trips and pack a lot of luggage the CR-V easily wins out in that category.

I admire Mazda for doing it differently i.e. focusing on styling and drive-ability and not trying to go all out for interior space. So many vehicles are designed to get as much into the "footprint" as possible and just end up being dull and the same.

Thank you Todd for the excellent input. I have been looking at The CRV, the CX5, the Rav4, and the GMC Terrain. I was leaning towards the CRV but wasn't sure as they are all really good choices but your honest review has convinced me to go with the CRV. Many blessings to you and your family.

@@joeraptor1 You're welcome. Just an FYI, our CR-V replaced a 2010 GMC Terrain that had a $2k+ repair bill at just over 60k miles (timing belt, air conditioner, muffler and 1 other thing). It was a nice car while it lasted anyway but I wasn't paying for those repairs, we just traded it in. We were originally looking at the Hyundai Santa Fe which was pretty nice but after test driving it my wife doesn't like circular gauge style speedometers. I convinced her to give the CR-V a chance and after test driving it, she was instantly sold on it (plus it has a digital speedometer).

That's because the vast majority of men want a car that is actually fun to drive. Even when Toyota do, on the very rare occasions, make a car that is fun to drive, you get the feeling it is more a mistake than a deliberate intention. As an example, I give you the 86 (FR-S). A car that is incredibly fun to drive except... it is gutless. Apparently Toyota were worried it would outperform their premium brand cars - so although Subaru made a supercharged version of the FR-S engine (the FA20) and a turbo charged version (the FA24) we are denied access to a car that would be genuinely stand-out. Look, I want a safe, economic family car. But why does it have to be. So. Damn. Boring.

RAV4 is at least 5k-7k more expensive than CRV with similar options in Canada. After financing, it could even go up to 10k or more. So, CRV is still the better option even though it’s not perfect, but again nothing is perfect, you have to have some compromises.

Ended up with a 2020 RAV4 XLE AWD. I strongly considered the Honda and Mazda but decided on Toyota. Reason being it gets excellent gas mileage, lots of space interior and cargo wise and also has strong reliability and amazing resale value. Not to mention that Toyota gives new purchases a maintenance plan at no cost for 2yrs or 25k miles. That in itself saves you money.

I'm glad you love your CR-V. I was very close to purchasing one until I test drive the CX-5 and did my research on long term reliability which seemed to indicate that the Mazda will likely last as long as the Toyotas and Hondas. What turned me off about the CR-V EX-L (leather seats is a must for me) was the touch screens which were fairly slow to boot. Its one thing for some entertainment to be on a touchscreen since Android and Apple Car Play are going to be used for many of us anyway, but to have all the air conditioning controls be several screens away and the feel that the touch screen already, I was pretty sure it would only cause issues and/or bug me more and more throughout my ownership experience in the years to come.

Sedans, especially undiscounted Japanese, lose value like a sinking rock. Our(Edmund's)2018 Honda Accord EX-L stickered for $30,865, including destination. Over the course of a year, we added 13,302 miles to our odometer. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the Accord at $23,815 based on a private-party sale. That works out to 22.8% depreciation, which is slightly worse than the fleet average of 22% average. The depreciation level is even worse when you consider that the majority of our cars pass the 20,000-mile mark. Edmund's longterm Accord

Happy and fully satisfied owner of CR-V's 1st and 5th gen models. My 1st gen is still smoothly running to date. Bought it in Feb 1998 (owner amongst those first 10 released units in the Philippines). After 21 years, due to the hefty price of gasoline, I decided I want to drive a diesel running vehicle. Too glad that Honda produces its 5th gen, in 7 seater and with diesel turbo engine CR-V. At first I was sceptical to buy it because Honda is not known yet in producing diesel engine vehicle. Surprisingly, suspension is great, fuel consumption is too thrifty because of its 1.6L engine, even smoother to drive than my 1st gen though it is diesel and to top it all it is not noisy. Take it from me a real owner everything about the 5th gen CR-V is great.

Well yeah other then the fact that this review is pretty shit. These guys hate Toyota and suck off Honda, but in my opinion the CX 5 shits on both of them in terms of features, peformance and tech and is arguably the safest out of the 3. The CX 5 also in my opinion feels more luxurious than the other 2 and in terms of luxury the RAV4 would be dead last and the CRV is alright, but probably has the most space. All 3 of them have good interior and boot space, but the CX 5 just feels more advanced to drive and is more practical, as if it's trying to be a cheaper version of an Audi Q5 or a Lexus NX300 or a Mercedes GLA 250 as opposed to an equal to a RAV4 or CRV, it just feels more expensive for the same price. People bitch and cry about the Honda CRV's reliability but II'm pretty sure all modern SUVs are more than reliable enough unless you're keeping them for 10-15+ years

Honda and Toyota are much more reliable than Mazda, maintenance expenses are lower. Also, Mazda cars have a high depreciation compared to Honda and Toyota. So, in my opinion, if you want a beautiful car for a couple of years go for Mazda. But if you want a really durable and reliable car, go for the most selling vehicles in the world, Toyota and Honda.

Have the Hybid AWD now for 4 months in the Netherlands and I really love it. The only downside is towing power. If you need that the RAV4 Hybrid will do a better job, but if you don't need the towing power, the Hybrid is the best choice. It will still be better than the RAV4 Hybrid. It is very snappy, faster than the petrol and even quieter thus offering more comfort. Here it is even cheaper than the Petrol version in highest trim. So really a good buy.

The ground clearance on the RAV4 is so under-emphasized in these reviews, the Adventure has 8.6" which is on par with Jeep and Subaru (8.7") on ground clearance, that alone puts it above anything else in this class for deep snow and light offroading. Also, did ya'll even use Premium gas in the CX-5, cause that makes a difference in HP.

Just my 2 cents. I have a 2019 Mazda CX-5. I’m coming from a 2006 Audi A3 with only 25000 miles on the clock. It still felt new when we sold ours and I used to miss my A3 a bit because it felt a bit more solid. Call it German engineering. But I am shocked to say the least, I now prefer my CX5 over my A3. I think I’ve fallen it love with it. It just oozes class and the design, to die for mate.

Between the CRV and the RAV 4 (own both) the RAV4 feels and drives better. JMHO. Seat comfort depends on who’s butt is in the seats. I found I could adjust the RAV 4 seat to fit me better then the CRV. I found the CVT transmission to be a pain and it didn’t feel like it was downshifting properly whereas the RAV 4 shifted flawlessly up and down in both auto manual modes. As far as off roading goes none of these vehicles are really qualified to go on serious off road trails.

I too have recently driven all three. The CVT in the CR-V droned and hunted like it was dancing to its own beat. I was disappointed as I really wanted to like it since driving my daughters 2015 version. The RAV4 while too expensive for what it gave you here in Australia, the interior was too busy and the rubberised switches were a disaster waiting to happen as time would reintroduce me to the old sticky rubber switch in a few years under our sun. Seats were too flat also and the Drive train was woeful without hybrid. Yes, I bought a CX-5 GT with the 2.5T engine and while it’s not perfect, it is the best solution for me. Very comfortable seats, a load area that is just big enough for my needs and it’s not too long. Torque converter auto is responsive when you need it and to be honest, the sales and after sales service is second to none. A very important factor for me. Bottom line - it’s a luxury car with Apple CarPlay and the driver’s choice of these three.

I was cross-shopping the CX-5, Acura RDX, and Rav4. All of the cars drove just fine, but we had to make our purchased based on our needs. We needed something that can be relied upon to be fuel efficient, offer sufficient space, and have long term reliability. Both the CX-5 and RDX offered good power and were a pleasure to drive. We didn't consider the CRV because that was too much of a "mom" car for me even though my wife will be doing most of the driving eventually. We ended up with the 2019 RAV4 XSE Hybrid. This seemed to check all the boxes for us. Looks, sufficient power for a family hauler, nice interior, amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride and overall value. The RAV4 doesn't go without having it's own issues such as engine noise, but if we were in the market for something more luxurious, the Acura RDX A-spec would've certainly been our choice. Long and short of it all, people will buy what suits their needs best. Love our new RAV4!

@davidgapp1457
@davidgapp1457 5 лет назад
Because it's not $800 more. The simple reality is that by the time you get it properly equipped, you are spending north of $36,000. That's a lot of money for a car that can't compete on performance with a Mazda CX-5 Turbo. Toyota USED to be value-for-money. But they are rapidly pricing themselves out of the market and supplying the wrong features. As an example, take the power seats. I expect that ANY car with power driver seats should have AT LEAST 2 driver memory - especially a family wagon (which is what the RAV4 is supposed to be). But no. You can spend over $40,000 on a RAV4 and you still don't get memory seats. Or how about the color choice? If I don't buy the Hybrid I can get just about any color they offer (which to be honest isn't great to start with). But with any reasonable package combination on the hybrid I find myself limited to a choice of exactly ONE color. For frack's sake, that's worse than the legendary Ford "you can have your model-T any color you like provided it's black". Which, by the way, wasn't true. The Model-T came in many more colors than ANY version of the RAV4 2019.

they didn't mention the big issue about the oil dilution of 1.5L turbocharged engine in CR-V, there are so many complains about it, and it was not just for 2017 and 2018 CR-V, 2019 CR-V still has the issue.

I fully agree that the Mazda’s booth is smaller than the competition, but the difference is mostly in the top part of the booth and let’s be honest, who want to load the booth all the way to the top so you can’t see anything through your back window. And you normally also want to cover the stuff you put in there , so mostly the lower part of the booth is used. The size therefore is hardly an issue for me. For the rest it’s a far superior car to the other to in safety features and quality of materials, plus afters owning Mazda’s for almost 40 years I can assure you they are very reliable. I never had any mayor engine or transmission issue with any of the Mazda’s I owned over the years.

Rav4 looks like a great car but I don't want people quoting Kanye at me while I drive it.

Should've done the 2019 rav4 hybrid. That's the one they can't keep on lots because they're selling out so fast. But I get it, making these reviews takes time. Hope there's a hybrid version of this review someday.

I own a 2016 CR-V and I'm very happy with it. And concerning the cvt transmission...I previously had a 2014 Honda civic with a cvt transmission and after 180000km, no problem at all.

Dang. Lots of hate for the rav. I just rented one , only for 3 hours, and I had no issues for the highway trip. I also haven’t driven any new models of the other two. What does this mean? It’s a good time to be car shopping one of these.

Planning to buy either of the 3. I was able to test drive both the RAV4 HYBRID XLE and the MAZDA CX5 Touring AWD in a day. I drove the cx5 first and it really was fun to drive that I enjoyed it so much. The interior was very nice although its less roomy especially at the back. Then i hopped into the RAV4, I was disappointed with the interior. The plastics look cheap and I hated the seats, they are ugly cloth seats. Its way bigger inside though. The hybrid engine was so quiet but it was really boring to drive compared to the mazda. Wanted a toyota because its more reliable but I'm leaning towards the cx5, I think its a better package overall and I can't believe its way more cheaper.

Good video. But you do get heated and air conditioning seat in the Rav4. He just have to check before you say anything.

You can get heated/cooled seat in a Buick Envision 2.0T for around $35KK. No need to over pay for these economy cars.

My 2018 CRV has lane assist. I have touch screen also. I tested the Rav-4 before deciding on the CR-V. I would choose CR-V for sire. I road in the new 2018 RAV-4 and it felt stripped down to me. The back seat not good. Can't compare the Mazda. Never went to look at them.

I agree, Toyota is the most reliable choice of them all. But the Edmund team is yet to come up with a way to test reliability. But they said Rav4 is the most rugged member of the family. So, I'd say, if ruggedness and reliability are what you're looking for, Toyota Rav4 is your best bet.

I really love my Rav4 but to be fair it's a 2009 Limited with a V6. So it's fast as hell for an suv and powerful. It also has 195,000 miles on it, and I'm getting rid of it soon (need something newer for Uber, their rules, not mine). Of these three reviewed, I also like the CR-V the best. Not thrilled at the idea of a CVT, but from what I've read Honda and a few others like Subaru know how to make good ones. I'd really prefer manual, but I suppose those days are gone for suvs.

I test drove the 2019 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid today in the XLE Trim. I really like it. It was a short test drive and I didn't push it at all, even though I took it a couple of miles on the Interstate. It felt comfortable to me. It is one I am very seriously considering buying in the 2020 model year (mainly because they are going to add Android Auto as it currently only has Apple Carplay). If Mazda were to make the CX-5 in a Hybrid version that is as good or better than Toyota's Hybrid system, I would then consider it.
