Outside of fuel efficiency, the 2015 Mazda CX-5 also offers a four-wheel drive drivetrain while the 2014 Honda CR-V offers a two-wheel drive drivetrain. If you are looking for a little extra power when driving the 2015 Mazda CX-5 also offers a six speed transmission compared to Honda's five speed transmission.

If safety is important for you the 2015 Mazda CX-5 offers advanced front air bags, front side-impact air bags, and side-impact air curtains for front and rear outboard passengers. With the added dynamic stability control and traction control system, you can be sure you will be on the road with great control.
