Looking for a Mazda CX-50 for sale, but you\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s the right car for you? One way to find out is to compare it to another SUV.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Take a look at how it stacks up against the Toyota RAV4. Does it have the power and features you want?<\/p>\n

The Powertrains of Choice<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest differences between the Mazda CX-50 and the Toyota RAV4 is the powertrain lineup. The CX-50 gets power from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine with 187 horsepower. If you like more pep in your step, you can find the Mazda CX-50 for sale<\/a><\/strong> with a turbo version of the same engine that boosts horsepower to 256. No matter which of these engines you have, it will give you impressive power for a small crossover<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Toyota RAV 4 also comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It gets 203 horsepower, putting you right in the middle of the two Mazda engines. If you opt for one of the higher-end RAV4 models, it will also have all-wheel drive and torque vectoring, which will help improve fuel economy.<\/p>\n

How Do You Like Your Tech?<\/h3>\n

Both the 2024 Mazda CX-50 and the Toyota RAV4 come with lots of technology. The differences start with the CX-50’s 10.25-inch touchscreen that comes standard, even with the entry-level trim. The RAV4 starts with an 8-inch touchscreen, but you can get a larger 10.25-inch version in the TRD Off-Road trim and up. Both have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.<\/p>\n

Safety Comes Standard<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking at the Toyota or searching for a Mazda CX-50 for sale, you\u2019ll get advanced safety systems. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 and Mazda\u2019s bundle of advanced driver aids have you covered. Both come with forward collision warning, automatic braking, lane-departure warning with mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. You can bump up to the CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus for added safety systems<\/a><\/strong> such as a 360-degree surround-view camera system, front and rear parking sensors, reverse automatic braking, and blind-spot intervention.<\/p>\n

The RAV4 has a few extra safety systems as part of the standard bundle. The traffic sign reader will come in handy if you miss a speed limit sign, and the automatic high-beam headlights know exactly when you need high or low beams.<\/p>\n

How Much Space Do You Need?<\/h3>\n

Chances are you won\u2019t always be the only person in your vehicle. Both the CX-50 and the RAV4 are small SUVs, but the CX-50 has just a little extra room in the back for its rear-seat passengers. The front seats are supportive, and most trims have a power adjustment feature. The RAV4, on the other hand, has more cargo space. It will hold up to 37 cubic feet of stuff compared to the CX-50’s 31.4 cubic feet. Toyota makes the most of its interior space with some handy storage spaces and wide door pockets so you can fit your large water bottle.<\/p>\n
