There are many reasons to consider a Mazda CX-5 when the time comes for a new family-friendly or adventure-ready SUV, and you can begin exploring them all for yourself right here at Scott Mazda. Visit our dealership to see what sets the 2023 Mazda CX-5 apart from competing models like the Nissan Murano today.
Model Lineup
You deserve options. That’s why the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is available in eight unique models. By contrast, the Nissan Murano is available in only five trim levels.
Power and Performance
The Mazda CX-5 is the sporty and capable SUV you’ve been waiting for. It has two engine options: a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 2.5-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine, which means up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. The Nissan Murano comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces up to 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.
Also worth noting: all-wheel drive is a $1,700 upgrade in the new Nissan Murano. In contrast, the new Mazda CX-5 comes standard with i-Activ AWD®.
Cargo and Towing
All of the power in the 2023 Mazda CX-5 translates into real-world capability. Both models offer seating for five passengers. But this new Mazda SUV takes it a step further, with up to 2,000 pounds of towing strength and 30.8 cubic feet of cargo space when the seats are in use and 59.3 cubic feet of cargo space when the seats are folded. In the Nissan Murano, you’ll find just 1,500 pounds of towing capability.
When you come down to Scott Mazda, you’re sure to find the right vehicle for whatever the road ahead might hold. Visit our dealership to get behind the wheel of the 2023 Mazda CX-5 and see what sets this exciting new model apart from the market for yourself today.
