2025-mazda-cx-5

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is an excellent choice for drivers who want a tech-focused crossover SUV. It has the power and performance you need to tackle your everyday drive, plus the technology to make every trip fun. How does that compare to the 2025 Honda CR-V, and which vehicle is right for you? North Penn Mazda has the key comparisons below.

Performance and Handling

You’ll love the 2025 Mazda CX-5 if you need more power from your SUV. This model features a standard 2.5-liter Skyactiv®-G engine with available Dynamic Pressure Turbo, delivering up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than the 2025 Honda CR-V can accomplish with its inline four-cylinder engine, which generates 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque.

If you’re looking for a model with all-wheel drive, our Colmar, PA, Mazda dealership recommends the Mazda CX-5. It features standard i-Activ AWD® for better grip on the road when conditions turn slippery. All-wheel drive is available on the 2025 Honda CR-V as well via Real-Time AWD™, but is only standard on the Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid.

Screen Space

There are several technology options to love on the Mazda CX-5. Its standard 10.25-inch full-color display features Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support, letting you activate mobile apps via the center screen. The 2025 Honda CR-V features two touchscreens, but they’re both smaller; you can opt for the standard 7-inch screen or an available 9-inch screen.

Head-Up Display

Select trims of this new Mazda SUV come equipped with an available head-up display. Specifically, the Active Driving Display® helps the 2025 Mazda CX-5 keep you informed of vehicle statistics by putting them on the windshield for easy viewing. There isn’t a head-up display currently available on any trims of the 2025 Honda CR-V.
