2024 MAZDA CX-5 versus 2024 Buick Envision
Many drivers searching for a new SUV are looking at both the 2024 Mazda CX-5 and the 2024 Buick Envision. While these are both excellent vehicles, the Mazda model outshines its competitor in performance and capabilities, plus technology features for both entertainment and safety. You can check one out in person at North Penn Mazda.
Performance and Capacities
While we wouldn’t call the 2024 Buick Envision underpowered — its turbocharged 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine produces 228 horsepower — it’s engineered much differently than the Mazda CX-5. Even the latter’s 187-horsepower base engine feels impressive because of the sharp steering response and driving dynamics. The gap widens in the Mazda SUV’s upper trims, which pack a 256-horsepower punch thanks to a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter engine. Additionally, the Buick SUV’s standard all-wheel drive simply can’t compare to the game-changing i-ACTIV AWD® that’s standard on the 2024 Mazda CX-5 and many other new Mazda models.
Interior Volume
Although both vehicles can seat up to five people, the Mazda option has much more room for cargo. By folding the seats down, you can use every square inch of the 29.1 cubic foot trunk or increase your storage space to 59.3 cubic feet. By contrast, the Buick model only offers 25.2 cubic feet behind the seats and 52.7 cubic feet, including the seat area.
Technology Features for Entertainment and Safety
Our Colmar, PA, Mazda dealership knows how much you value technology, and the 2024 Mazda CX-5 has a long list of excellent features. Entertainment-wise, this vehicle features a 10-speaker Bose® premium audio system compared to a nine-speaker sound system in the 2024 Buick Envision. However, the safety-based technology is where the Mazda model struts its stuff.
Like all Mazda vehicles, the 2024 Mazda CX-5 comes with the i-Activsense® safety suite, which includes features such as:
- Advanced Smart City Brake Support™ with Day and Nighttime Pedestrian Detection
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ with Stop & Go
- Adaptive Front Lighting System
- Driver Attention Alert
- Parking Sensors
- 360° View Monitor
- Traffic Sign Recognition System
While the Buick SUV also offers a safety suite, features like blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control are relegated to higher trims and option packages, making the Mazda model a better-equipped option.
