The Mazda CX-5 is known for its top-notch versatility and luxurious looks. One model it is frequently compared to is the Toyota RAV4. These two cars have a lot in common in terms of functionality, but when it comes to looks, dimensions, and safety features, these cars are definitely on different levels.   

Style and Design 

Visually, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 and the 2021 Toyota RAV4 are quite different. They are similar in terms of size and height, but the angles and lines are positioned differently, which impacts performance.

Mazda cars are known for their long, smooth hoods and soft curves, but the Toyota RAV4 is much more aggressively styled. It features a more angular grille, squared-off wheel wells, and other design features that make it feel more rugged and less refined.  

Safety Accolades

We have many award-winning Mazda cars available here in Fairless Hills, and the 2021 Mazda CX-5 will be among them when it arrives. For 2021, it has been selected as a Top Safety Pick+, which is the highest honor from the IIHS.

The 2021 Toyota RAV4, on the other hand, only earned the status of Top Safety Pick from the IIHS. For 2021, the Mazda CX-5 has also earned a five star rating from the NHTSA.  

Interior Space

The dimensions of the cabin are another reason to choose the 2021 Mazda CX-5. As you can see, it’s offers several more inches inside the cabin than the Toyota RAV4:

Front-row hip room (inches)  55.2 54.3
Second-row hip room (inches)  55.3 47.7
