Every 2021 Mazda CX-5 comes fully loaded with more and better standard features than the 2021 CR-V. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a Wi-Fi hotspot, two USB ports, and Mazda Connect Services capability are standard even on the base model CX-5. Other features are also available, including a power liftgate, a premium 10-speaker Bose sound system, remote start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a universal garage door opener, among many others.
The CX-5 is available with two different engines. The Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, and Carbon Edition have the 187-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The Carbon Edition Turbo, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature come standard with the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The 2021 CR-V is only available with the underwhelming (and boring) 1.5-liter turbo-four. It’s much slower and more unresponsive than the engines in the CX-5. Which is particularly noticeable when accelerating from a stop or calling for acceleration on the highway.
