Power, Performance, Precision: The 2020 Mazda CX-5 Dominates The Competition In Kelowna
It’s an expectation of luxury, with the 2020 Mazda CX-5 delivering dynamic design to Kelowna. This sport utility vehicle - which was recently named Best Premium Compact SUV by the distinguished panelists of Das Goldene Lenkrad (The Golden Steering Wheel) - embraces innovation, fusing each day with class-shattering style. The exterior is elegant, pairing chrome accents with sculpted character lines; while the meticulously crafted cabin boasts premium leather fabrics, available satin finishes, and custom embroidery. This assures a refined experience.
The 2020 CX-5 offers more than luxury, however. Instead, it yields everyday capability, with its GS, GX, GT, and Signature trims dominating the competition.

Compare the 2020 Mazda CX-5 With The 2020 Honda CRV: Speed and Performance
2020 Mazda CX-5
Engine: Skyactiv-G 2.5 T
Horsepower: Up to 250
Torque: Up to 320 lb.-ft
0 to 60 Acceleration: Estimated 6.2 seconds
2020 Honda CRV
Engine: 1.5L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder
Horsepower: Up to 190
Torque: Up to 175 lb.-ft
0 to 60 Acceleration: Estimated 7.5 seconds
Despite sharing turbocharged technology, the 2020 CX-5 and 2020 CRV prove quite different on the straightaway - with Mazda delivering immense power. Its dynamic 2.5 T engine (which is available on the Signature trim) promises impressive performance, utilizing a 16-valve design to enhance sequencing. Direct-injection functionality ensures premium fuel distribution with each press of the pedal, while the six-speed automatic transmission is bolstered by a Drive Selection switch that increases operator control over gear responses.
To further enhance performance, the new CX-5 also boasts I-ACTIV AWD. This delivers autonomous traction support - with advanced sensors monitoring driver behaviours (such as the steering angle, accelerator position, and brake fluid pressure) to identify when additional torque is needed. Smooth adjustments are made to the power-band and a balanced ride is achieved, even when taking full advantage of the turbocharged engine suite. Expect seamless speeds.
The Winner: the 2020 Mazda CX-5.

Compare The 2020 Mazda CX-5 With The 2020 Toyota RAV4: Towing Capacity
2020 Mazda CX-5
Gasoline Engine: Skyactiv-G 2.5
Maximum Towing Capacity: 907-kg (2,000 pounds)
Diesel Engine: Skyactiv-G 2.5 T
Maximum Towing Capacity: 1,588-kg (3,500 pounds)
2020 Toyota RAV4
Gasoline Engine: 2.5L Four-Cylinder
Maximum Towing Capacity: 680-kg (1,500 pounds)
Hybrid Engine: 2.5L Four-Cylinder With Synergy Drive
Maximum Towing Capacity: 794-kg (1,750 pounds)
The value of a crossover extends far beyond comfort. Instead Kelowna drivers expect strength - and the new CX-5 delivers that. Both its gasoline and diesel engines yield potent power, accommodating every payload demand with ease. Integrated G-Vectoring technology enhances performance, increasing yaw ratios and stabilizing cornering (assuring that even heavy hauls won’t undermine acceleration); while available Dynamic Pressure Turbo functionality produces extra torque as needed. An optional manual shift mode further improves the experience, allowing operators to take control of each gear when navigating with a trailer. The RAV4 simply can’t compete when it comes to cargo domination.

Efficiency is rare within the crossover market - but the new CX-5 delivers a series of mobility tools to enhance responses (and spare drivers frustration at the pump). Bolstering both the FWD and AWD platforms is a Cylinder Deactivation system, which can detect when the vehicle is in cruise mode and instantly funnel both air and fuel away from select valves. This reduces overall consumption and improves resource distribution. Direct-injection capabilities promote superior intake capacities, while the high compression ratio (13:1) increases thermal efficiency.
Through these functions, the 2020 CX-5 enables drivers to spend more time on the road - and less at the fuel station.

Compare The 2020 Mazda CX-5 With The 2020 Ford Edge: Manoeuvrability And Operator Ease
2020 Mazda CX-5
Length: 4550-mm
Width: 2115-mm
Height: 1681-mm
Weight: Up to 1643-kg
2020 Ford Edge
Length: 4796-mm
Width: 2179-mm
Height: 1736-mm
Weight: Up to 2020-kg
Bigger isn’t always better, with cumbersome crossover designs leaving drivers with slow responses, too-wide turn radiuses, and a frustrating lack of manoeuvrability. The 2020 CX-5, therefore, is a welcome addition to every adventure. Boasting a lean profile - the wheelbase extends only 2698-mm - this platform can easily adapt to even the narrowest city streets. The fascia delivers a sculpted design, with its front and rear tracks both measuring 1596-mm; and this affords a tight curb-to-curb ratio of 11 metres.
To further improve navigation, the CX-5 boasts a lighter frame than its Edge competitor. This allows its engines to more efficiently respond to driver commands - reducing strain to the power-band and promoting more fluid accelerations and decelerations. Travel with ease.
