If you stop by our Allentown, PA Mazda dealership, it’s always a good idea to look for a 2019 Mazda CX-5 for sale, but we want you to know that the 2020 Mazda CX-5 is due to arrive at our location any day. One of the best ways to learn about new Mazda cars is to compare them to their competitors. Although the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety classifies the Mazda CX-5 as a small SUV and considers the 2020 Acura RDX to be a midsize luxury SUV, it’s still fair to compare the two vehicles.
For the 2020 model year, the new Mazda CX-5 is offered in several trims, which include the Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature models. The 2020 Acura RDX is only offered in one trim that’s outfitted with different packages, giving you fewer options.
Both the 2020 Mazda CX-5 and the new Acura RDX are available with either front- or all-wheel drive. Whether it has FWD or AWD, the Acura RDX will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The new Mazda CX-5 is eligible for three engines, two four-cylinder gas engines, and a diesel engine. Our SUV’s turbocharged gas engine and its diesel engine are only available in vehicles that are equipped with AWD.
While the transmission in the Acura RDX could be quicker to downshift, the transmission in the Mazda CX-5 is responsive across the board. The Mazda SUV also has precise steering that makes cornering a blast for both new and seasoned drivers. Whereas the Acura RDX pipes roaring sounds into the cabin when you accelerate quickly, the new Mazda CX-5 provides a smooth, quiet ride even when the road is rough or you’re cruising down the highway.
