Mazda CX-5 vs. Hyundai Tucson: Compare Pricing, Trims & MPG

“With its exquisitely sculpted exterior and sophisticated interior space, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 feels like it’s tailored to you. This CUV provides an elevated driving experience that invigorates both body and mind.” “The all-new 2022 TUCSON is the defining answer after our engineers and designers asked how we can make a great SUV even greater. We questioned every detail. Every assumption. We gave it a daring new look inside and out. Game-changing technology and safety. Outfitted it with available HTRAC All Wheel Drive. And now, for the first time, it comes in hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. Without question, it’s our best TUCSON ever.”
