Engine Options
When you visit our Fairless Hills, PA Mazda dealership to test-drive the Mazda CX-50, you’ll have two energetic engines to choose from. The SUV’s base powerplant is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. A turbocharged version of that engine is the other powerplant and it delivers 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque with regular gas or 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel.
The Volkswagen Tiguan is only offered with one engine. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powerplant is the SUV’s sole engine, and its output is comparable to what the Mazda SUV’s base engine delivers. More specifically, the Volkswagen SUV’s engine output comes in at 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
Drivetrain
New Mazda vehicles are known for being engaging and lots of fun to drive. One of the things that make the Mazda CX-50 enjoyable to operate is the SUV’s standard i-Activ® all-wheel drive system. That system keeps the SUV sure-footed even when the roads are slick. It also allows the Mazda CX-50 to engage in some light of-roading.
All-wheel drive is only standard for the Volkswagen SUV’s top-of-the-line Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line model. For the remaining three trims, all-wheel drive is optional. Adding AWD increases the cost you’ll pay for a Volkswagen Tiguan unless you step up to the highest and most expensive trim.
Technology Features
Although the Mazda CX-50 and VW Tiguan both have sought-after technology, the features in the Mazda SUV are typically more attractive to tech enthusiasts. For starters, the Mazda CX-50 has wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity while the Volkswagen Tiguan has a wired connection. The infotainment display in the Mazda CX-50 measures 10.25 inches while the unit in the VW SUV is just 6.5 inches.
