2022 Mazda CX-5 vs. 2022 Ford Escape vs. 2022 GMC Terrain: Choose Style and Performance
May 09 2022,
The Mazda CX-5 delivers the best balance between performance, efficiency and style in a fun to drive SUV that has a lot more to offer than the competition. Thanks a refined interior that can compete with the luxury segment, performance-oriented driving dynamics and great practicality, the CX-5 takes on the compact SUV segment by storm.
Here, we compare it with the 2022 Ford Escape and the 2022 GMC Terrain.
More performance under the hood of the 2022 Mazda CX-5
Performance is a priority at Mazda. That’s why the CX-5 uses only on the best under the hood. The base engine is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder unit that deploys 187 horsepower. That is more horsepower than the Ford Escape’s base engine as well as the GMC Terrain’s base engine. The CX-5 uses a sporty 6-speed automatic transmission which contributes to its superior driving dynamics.
The CX-5 is also available with a turbocharged 2.5-litre unit that deploys 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This is much more power and torque than any engine in the Escape lineup, which maxes out at 221 hp, and even far more than the GMC Terrain’s only engine, which only has 170 hp.
With the Mazda CX-5, you also get standard i-Activ AWD on all trims. The system reads the road ahead to provide the best grip and the best handling, whatever the road you find yourself on. The AWD system available in the Escape and the one available in the Terrain are both much less competent, giving the CX-5 the advantage when it comes to safety and grip on the road.
A luxurious feel inside the 2022 Mazda CX-5
While the Ford Escape and the GMC Terrain display basic interiors filled with budget materials, hard plastics and limited style, the CX-5 is inspired with the best the automotive industry has to offer in terms of refinement. The CX-5 also has more technologies to keep you and your family entertained on the road. The CX-5 also has more cargo volume than the GMC Terrain with 875 litres compared to 838 litres.
