Compare the 2025 Mazda CX-50 vs 2025 Hyundai Tucson - Houston, TX

Performance

Both SUVs come standard with a strong yet economical four-cylinder engine. While both engines produce 187 horsepower, the CX-50's extra seven lb-ft of torque enhances its overall drivability. Mazda also offers the CX-50 with a more potent turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which develops up to 256 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. There's no overlooking the turbocharged CX-50's much quicker acceleration.

Drivers can also take advantage of the CX-50's more athletic handling. G-Vectoring Control Plus comes standard on every new CX-50. This feature ultimately enhances the SUV's cornering capabilities by subtly adjusting engine torque and braking force. While Hyundai Tucson offers an optional AWD system, every new Mazda CX-50 receives an i-ACTIV AWD system as standard equipment.

Appearance

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson gives you some attractive trims to choose from. However, it cannot match the 2025 Mazda CX-50's powerful appearance. Sleek lines accentuate the new CX-50's sporty design. Even the entry-level CX-50 trim comes standard with LED headlights and stylish 17-inch alloy wheels. Available 20-inch wheels give the CX-50 an especially muscular stance. Mazda also gives you access to some premium paint colors, including Soul Red Crystal Metallic and Wind Chill Pearl.

Features

Like the CX-50, the Hyundai Tucson has a family-friendly cabin that seats up to five passengers. However, premium interior materials help give the CX-50's cabin a more upscale character. The CX-50's outstanding interior quality enables it to rival models that are significantly more expensive.
