What should you be aware of about the 2025 CR-V and the 2025 CX-5 before finalizing your crossover SUV selection?
Performance

It has a flat four-cylinder unit that generates 187 horsepower and a turbocharged variant that puts out 227 horsepower.
Appearance
The CR-V benefited from a design refresh in 2023 when its latest generation debuted, and this look is both confident and easy on the eyes. Its tall cabin supports ample headroom and cargo space. The sides are subtly angled with lightly flared rear haunches and a raised black band of molding. The front end is styled with a modern variation of Honda's hexagon-shaped grille. Both the slender air vents and the LED headlights are angled for a sporty touch. The CX-5 is characterized by Mazda's strong body language, which includes the same rolling hood, smoothly accented sides, and wide grille as you will find on other Mazda models. The model is among the smallest in the Mazda lineup, and it has a strong slope across the hood and narrow headlights.
