Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication. The Mazda design language comes close to that principle.
Every Mazda model looks almost identical from the front especially. The Kodo design is old now plus it looks too plain compared with other manufacturers more bolder and stylish looking SUV's. But it's a better vehicle than the Rogue for obvious reasons.
No
Yeah, it feels like they’ve had the same design for 10 years
I agree with your evaluation. I just bought my wife the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature in red as her Christmas gift. My wife loves to drive it. We also like the high class interior and acceleration of the turbo engine. The self locking mode and stowing of the mirrors as you walk away from the vehicle is really nice. Thanks again for the excellent video.
CX 5 100%
for.the cx5 to be in its 5th year with the same body style it still goes almost toe to toe with the new 2021 models. I'm sure they are hard at work for the 2022/2023 redesign. still the most classy and upscale looking of it peers.
Totally agree Tavious, the car's style is second to none and punches way above it's weight class
how can someone improve on an almost perfect looking car? thats the problem.
@@roostersideburns3440 The technology aspect is where they fall short. retained power (like when you turn car off the windows and radio should still work for a few minutes ) digital and color speedometer and cluster, the new hyundais and Hondas flash the image of the side's of car whenever the blinkers are engaged on cluster, Magnetic charging for phone in console, panoramic sunroof. stuff like that is where mazda has to step it up.
@Prime Artemis you can’t fit the cable through the armrest at all?? Hopefully they fix that in the 2022 model..
That smile on his face when drove the Mazda 😎
I just recently drove all the CUV's there and I kept coming back to the Mazda CX-5... I love it!!!
Put it this way,...If you're a family just starting off with a baby/toddler/kids, I think Nissan Rogue would be better because space is everything. But if you have teenagers or just wanted to have a good solid luxurious-feel SUV car for yourself then pick Mazda CX5.
You forgot transmission reliability = cx5
also the cvt transmission is horrible on the nissan and prone to premature failure moreso than any other transmission a 5-6k fix btw./the nissan rougue is 3 inches longer than the mazda and the same width and has 3 extra feet of cubic space thats about half a luggage more you can carry in the nissan than the mazda its really not that big of a differnce in cargo space
mazdas look smallerr due to having lower ground clearance and being sporty and lower to the ground.
if you want more space and whatnot go with the new RAV4 a solid car no crappy cvt transmission and it has 8 extra cubic feet of cargo than the mazda.
Your expression test driving the Mazda really says it all, am sold.
:)
Nice thoughts on the review 👍🤔 !!!
Good review. Thank you
Very good review, as always!
Thank you
“My God it almost snapped my neck” lol great review
Yeah, that was a deal-breaker for me :)
Rogue front end is horrendous. Pano roofs are overrated, Mazda’s are built for people who love to drive. My 3 cents.
@SnowBoarder&Skier cool, I’m happy for you. In Texas, that glass gets hot during those hot summer days and just radiates that heat. 🥵
truly unbiased review and telling the truth ,thanks
Nissan Rogue great quality , I have been with Nissan Cars more 40 years
I had a 2014 Rogue and the blind corners in the back almost caused me several wrecks. I liked everything else about it. Have they fixed that in ther 2021 model?
I own a CX 5 and I can tell you it is amazing. My only complaints are (and these are minor to me): first rear seat leg room. The Mazda is 179.1 inches and I think this car would be perfect at 183 inches and make that extra length as space in the rear seat. Now it's still not bad , but I just feel an extra little room back there would have been great. second, seats are a little bit firm. Could have made the seats a little bit softer. However after about 5000 km's the seats soften a little and are good. For greats seats, the Acura RDX is awesome. A panorama sun roof would be nice but not a big deal too me. And finally it would have been nice if the center console arm rest could slide about an inch or 2 forward. It feels a little short. All of these issues are very, very minor and not is a deal breaker for me. Some of the pro's of this car are the drive. Power, handling and over all feel. Test drive any car in this class then drive the Mazda and feel the difference. That's what sold me instantly. In a class by its self. Interior quality. Should be compared to the luxury brands like Acura, Lexus, infinity and Audi. I don't think it's quite at that level, but closer positioned there than in the main stream line. Finally is the exterior styling. Keep in mine this style came out in 2017 and it is still crushing every car in it's class like the newly redesigned Nissan Rogue. If you are interested in this car class, do what I did, test drive all the mainstream brands and save the CX 5 for last. You will love it.
we have a 2020 cx5 too and I'll echo your complaints. But the seat issue is not a minor complaint, they are hard and uncomfortable. Destroy my back in 30 mins. The cx5 is also just too small, honestly it is no larger than our old hrv inside. Next, the oem remote start is awful. Next the heated steering wheel is not heated on top or bottom. I also find the steering fake, it is a heavy for the sake of pretending to be sporty while not actually giving back much feedback. I have had the luxury brands, Mazda does not compete. It also needs a complete makeover as it has been around too long and that transmission is missing 2 gears and a few mpg
@@GoofieNewfie I do agree with a lot of what you are saying. The seats are not the most comfortable and I could certainly see how it would be more uncomfortable for some people but not has uncomfortable for others. Like I said other brands have better seats. The rear seat is certainly tight compared to others, but to help with this they did make room under the front seat for your feet where others are tight under the seat. Both of these things are an issue and for people that bought this car for a family I think they will be disappointed. In both of these cases I hope Mazda looks at this when they do a redesign. I recently sat in a Lexus NX 300. The seats are more comfortable, but the rear seats were also bad and certainly not a family car.
For driving feel I am very happy with it. Some people don't like the steering feel, but I like it. I never drove the Acura RDX, however I have heard it was much better for a sporty feel. However I also heard this car has a lot of issues with the transmission and electronics. For me the Acura is a good size not too small with more room and more comfortable seats. However the price and and the potential issues above kept me from this car.
I came from a 2011 Honda Accord and this car was much better in the areas I've mentioned, but not so great for power. Very bad for passing on the highway and the interior wasn't upscale . I was looking for compact SUV this time and for what I needed this car was the best in the class for me. However, If I required more space I would have gotten the CR V.
Over all I am happy with the car , but it is certainly not perfect.
you know a car is good when you nitpick the center console not sliding lol.
I've been driving a 2014 Mazda 6 for 5 years and just in time for an upgrade. My obvious choice was the CX-5 but my biggest issue with Mazda is comfort. I can't drive more than an hour without feeling numb or back pain in the Mazda. I thought maybe if I go for the Signature trim on the CX-5 with the nappa leather, things will be different. Yesterday I went for a test drive and I felt every small bump on the road. I was so disappointed since this car looks fantastic.
I agree with you. I tested drive both last week and did not think the CX was comfortable but I did love the Rogues seats. Plus I am not planning on punching the peddle every chance I get. I want a nice ride with good gas mileage. Nissan for me.
I did end up getting a 2021 Nissan Rogue 3 years ago and have been happy. While the drive isn't as engaging, its very comfortable for long drives and safety features are excellent
Lol those saying Mazda are truly butthurt that nobody is buying those cars. Clearly the Rogue is the better car. And those complaining about the CVT need to get with the times, it’s proven to be more efficient and quicker
For real lmao all they talk about is the cvt not knowing they improved it .
Love the red leather seats😍😍
Great review! I would like to know which one is better on bumps and pot holes. I live in New York and the roads are horrible:( I am searching for that riding on a cloud feeling or the closest to it. I would guess the rogue has a softer ride.
Nissan has a softer ride
Love the Rogue!
like the nissan, plenty powerful enough for the average driver
For me specially Mazda CX 5,,very good!!!
Love the way the Mazda drive. for drivers.
I do too
Tried drive them both. Mazda got power but rogue all over design, comfort and technology in my opinion.
Just bought a CX5 GT Turbo and it’s fun to drive. That acceleration puts a smile on my face.
I'm looking to buy a Mazda CX5 GT Turbo. Are you still happy about it?
@@Theultimateseb Yes, I’m still happy with the my purchase. Note that I bought the 2019 version and it’s been 2 months now. And that’s with a car seat in the back.
@@Theultimateseb I bought a 2021 CX5 GT reserve and I absolutely love it. The turbo engine was made for this model. Sadly the transmission is holding it back but that's what the manual shifting is for 😁
@@denziiey Bought it 😍
@@Theultimateseb 😍😍🚗💨 so happy for you bro
CVT = Can FAIL within 35K miles, it's the bad luck of the draw you'd have to deal with when considering a Nissan
Most CVTs are OK. Nissans not so much; bad track record...
Rogue is like 20% more fuel efficient though. I've scratched he CX-5 off my list simply because it's terrible on gas with the 6-speed transmission.
It gets 28mpg on the normal engine and mine typically gets 29
If you actually plan to drive the bloody thing, CX-5. Can't stand the CVT...
CX5 and CX9 are due for an update, the Mazda3 is much nicer inside. That said, though my wife liked her Nissan Rogue, in general Nissans are not nearly as dependable or as much fun to drive as Mazda vehicles.
True, they haven't been restyled in a while but they still look better than anything else in their class.
@@kingkrimson8771 indeed especially with the new 10.29" screen I don't really care for an update just the transmission
There are back seat release "levers" on the left and right of the rear compartment. They look like anchor points but are actually release levers
Full disclosure - I bought a 2021 Rogue that I'll be picking up on Wednesday. That being said, I suspect that Nissan has to "limit" how far it can go with this brand so as not to upstage their Infitini line, while Mazda can go full out as they do not have a premium brand to protect. Both vehicles are nice, however those opting for the Mazda may regret not having a modern suite of driving aids in their cars, especially at resale time, while those who own a Rogue, more so with young owners, may miss out on the additional horsepower. Finally, there are no bad vehicles, just buy one that hits your right buttons. Cheers!
Congratulations
I love both SUVs but for me is better the Rogue, because it offers more practicality, more space, more technology, more safety, more comfort and convenience features. For me the Rogue is actually better
@@rafaelg9016 Well said!
@@rafaelg9016 i have seen so many reviews and videos of this class and for the majority CX-5 and CR-V are the winners.
@@dealarea3059 the majority of the reviews recognize the rogue as the new leader with the Tucson or RAV4. CX-5 is a nice SUV, but the Rogue offers more, the CR-V is also a nice choice in the segment but the Rogue beats the CR-V in technology, safety, equipment, value and practicality.
I own the CX-5 and cross-shopped with the Rogue as a possibility. The Rogue sucks. We love our CX-5. For the price.... I think it’s a great little cuv for Canadian winters with excellent handling, mileage and it’s actually fun to drive for the price.
Sam, even though I am not a turbo fan the Rogue I believe does not have this option?
No turbo
Cx5 for sure. I test drove the regular 2.5L engine in the summer. I remember the rear doors were also able to open out 90degrees. It's just a bit cramped in the back, but we're less than 6ft tall so it shouldnt be too bad.
Good review , I lease a 2016 Rogue SL, and it's had absolutely no issues. There were a couple of things that I found missing - the Altima I owned previously came with a garage door feature in the rear view mirror which was very handy. The Rogue SL model comes with an ordinary steel side exhaust outlet, and not chrome tipped pipes at the back. The air filter is obviously designed to discourage DIY air filter changes, and the tranny doesn't come with a dipstick. The panoramic roof doesn't come with an alarm that lets you know its open when you lock up (its very easy to park the car with the roof open, and this would be catastrophic with leather seats and a heavy rainfall). And lastly, why don't these car companies incorporate digital recording thru their cameras ? Otherwise I have to install another camera to record negligent driver behaviour. I think the Mazda will appeal to older drivers who look for longevity and classic lines, the Nissan will appeal to younger drivers who are looking for dash and splash, but don't think about 5 years down the road when the CVT craps out. Anyways, my current Rogue kinda looks like the Mazda, and I don't like the look of the new Nissan (reminds me bit of the Juke). Thats my 5 cents worth.
I went from a 2011 Rouge to a 2021 mazda cx5 I love my mazda. My husband bought the 2021 Rouge platinum.
nice review!
Thank you
The 100th Anniversary (2021) Cx-5 is still sporting the old infotainment for Canadian market?
Yes
I like continues line and simplicity on Mazda exterior.
The Mazda looks too sleek, so I prefer the more domineering and "masculine" exterior of the Rogue
Five years ago, I was debating between the Rogue and CX5. After some research, a lot of people complained about the Nissan CVT, so I bought the CX5. Has the Nissan improved the CVT since then?
No they’re not,,their design never never change,,
Yeah I heard it improved
My understanding is that Nissan has remapped the transmission software. I'm not sure this is the best answer to a hardware fault, rather just delay a potential failure. The failure rate is just far too high. It's not like it's a sensor or a relay issue it's a $6000.00+ potential problem that any NIssan owner should be aware of. Nissan does a great job of offering features at a good price...I learned the hard way that you end up paying in the end.
@@jaietor5101 the Xtronic CVT is much improved
Between at vs cvt i always choose at
And mor power tor
I Love the new 2021 Rogue Platinum.
It's nicer definitely
Yeah
In sunset drift
@@SamCarLegion true!!!
Nissan is bit bigger and has more tech, but Mazda is just plan bad ass with its turbo engine. So it all depends on what one wants from the car they own...
The Rogue looks like it has very comfortable thigh supporting front seats unlike the crappie seats in the CX-5
The horsepower is fine. The low end V8 like torque is what keeps the Mazda exciting. It's a driver's car.
Mazda CX-5 will have a redesign in 2022/2023. That should be interesting.
looking forward :)
Agree👏🏼
the fact that newest generation models of cars like the rav 4 honda crv and nissan rogue are being compared to the same 2017 remodel and generation of the cx-5 is all you need to know about how good the cx 5 is and was ahead of its time when this generation was introduced in2017.. I cant wait for the remodeling of the cx-5 coming in 2022-2023 that will once again take the segment by storm and set a new standard for this segment. Mazda not only made a nice beautiful car but it chalked it full of safety features starting in 2015 which forced other car makers to transition and do the same in 2016-2017 models mazda set the standard for what should be standard in these compact suvs and the rest of the industry has followed suite since. Cant wait to see what mazda has in store for new gen models coming out soon
Compare the Tucson to both vehicles. That will be am interesting compare and contrast.
I prefer the Rogue for its looks and size, but disappointed for its lack of power. If they bimped it up even 10hp to 191hp I think it would be fine. I think the CX 5 looks ok, but I do not share the hype or see the luxury in it that most pundits do. I can appreiate the better power and handling.
Agree 💯 %. Thought i was the only one
And they did exactly what u asked for in 2022 Nissan Rogue with Turbo engine.
@@jackkiller21 exactly 2022 now have a 1.5 turbo producing 201 hp
Sadly the Canadian Spec didn't receive the new system as the Mazda 3 however in the US we got it. Maybe next year. As to why the disparity i don't know.
yes you are correct.
That's what happens when it goes way up, you stand under it and it shuts down on your head. Lol
It’s all about reliability!! The Mazda brand was voted most reliable vehicle!
It’s not a 2021 cx5. Also how did u get these lovely red seats? I thought they were only available in the carbon edition
It is a 2021 Model 100%
Not concerned about 0 to 60 times I will buy the all new Rogue, I had a turbo SUV and don't want another. Rogue for overall styling and also the larger size both in and out. Mazda has a stiff ride and basically the same body style for a few years, and less rear seat leg room. JMO
Did you have a problem with the engine or just want better gas mileage? which turbo suv did you have?
horse power!?
hell...it is THE TORQUE dude!
and no matter what fuel you use, the torque stays 310 lb/ft!!!!
don't even try to compare these two engines or quality-wise...please
Yea I bet you the rogues engine will last longer than the turbo 4 in the mazda.
93 octane on the CX5 gives you an extra 10 lbs ft of toque =320, 250 HP :)

HAHAHA you obviously had fun with that Mazda. Loved to see it. Its why I bought a Mazda 3
One big point you miss is the MPG or L/100K. The turbo engine is a gas guzzler compared to the rogue's 35MPG highway. With the extra trunk space, roomier interior, and better gas mileage, the rogue is a good option for road trips.
I feel bad for people that pick the nissan because in the very near future you most likely have to spend another $5000 for...........
Not true!
Actual output with regular fuel is 227 hp, not 224 for the CX-5 engine
CX-5 because of its design, power and handling. However, I wish it had the panoramic sunroof and wireless phone charging that the Nissan has.
You're right, no pano available for the Mazda but wireless charging is available as an option although it would go in the console which I don't think is a useful spot.
@@joezullo6923 I didn’t know that - thanks for the input. And the console is a questionable spot to place the wireless charging- it would be a toss up between opening up the console or just plugging in your phone!
Mazda all the way! Look at that beautiful interior and the wonderful and elegant styling. That Rogue's CVT makes me want to be sick. I can't stand those transmissions.

Nissan will not give you the turbo engine and the CVT will fail, costing $6000.00. If Nissan did not buy Jactco, they would have much more reliable
You don't know if it will fail just because it's a cvt and did you know that mazda had many transmission issues when it came out with skyactice? I have 332k miles on my altimac with cvt and im still going right now. Let me know when you see a turbo mazda engine at that mileage without a turbo replacement. The mazda gets an automatic fail from me because it isn't big enough
@@occckid123 agreed and the 21 rogue they tweaked Cvt . I picked mine up last week .
Nissan-Renault CVTs are just trash.
Wait until you trade it in a couple of years from now if you do the value of the rogue will drop your jaws there is a reason why they are doing huge discounts at Nissan just saying.
@@tommy13965 a friend of mine went 2 trade in her 2017 rouge SL and they offered her 16.5 for it as a trade with close to 50k miles. Not sure if thats good bad or ok. For reference the 2018 sienna le awd that I drive was valued at 14.5 as a trade in with 110k miles. Not sure if that's bad good or ok.
I love Rogue’s design, it’s much nicer than CX5, but I prefer the Mazda’s interior...
Very simple to break it down. If you're a driver get the Mazda and if you like to be driven then get the Nissan.
When you compare SUVs you need to have in mind space and functionality. The Rogue beats the Mazda. If you want speed go for a Mazda 3. The only thing I like is the turbo engine from the mazda. Also when negotiating at the dealership Mazda is more expensive. Expect to pay 550 -600 lease for a Mazda vs 450-500 for a Rogue. Then, budget wise. Nissan is the way to go.
I'm paying 485/mo for 6 year loan on cx5 signature...can't imagine paying just as much to lease the rogue lol
@@Ragnar707 yes. Right now the car market is crazy
I will pick this madza any day , Nissan are junk
When describing the Rogue with slightly less powerful sound like you're trying not to insult it!
It’s the truth
Rogue interior and technology looks great
The 2021 in US, has a 10.25 screen.
Maybe the 100th edition still has the old screen?
Maybe
@@SamCarLegion Even the base model has the 10.25" screen and the new Mazda 3 infotainment system.
Is not touch screen though.
10.25" is not touch screen and it has no wireless apple car play. in Canada, it's an 8" touch screen with wireless apple car play.
That's the trade of between USA and Canada models
Compare the CX-5 with the Tucson please.
I like the Mazda CX5 .... Beautiful machine
21 Rogue crushes the cx 5. So much more and more advanced safety features, infotainment features, and doesn't look like a car that is trying to be a suv/cuv. Nissan nailed it with the redesign!
I don’t really think Turbo is a fair comparison. A Non turbo CX-5 would have been more on point...
If only the CX 5 was a little bit bigger compared to its rivals. Hopefully the next redesign addresses that.
Newsflash the Old Nissian Juke had 188 HP , wow the Rogue HP is sad 😞 .......all Nissian models stays in the repair shop !
Purchased the 2021 Rogue Platinum after the test driving the 2021 CX5. Mazda had an awesome ride but you cannot even use the back seat. So it may as well be a 2 seater. And whoever said that the CX 5 had comparable cargo space lied to the Rogue is just stupid. No comparison at all. The CVT has improved over the years. Again, Mazda drives nice but after that?…………………
Leased a new 2018 cx5 had engine problem from the get. Mazda couldn't figure shit out n ended up just putting 2 more new engines
Give me what's under the hood of the CX-5 and the rest of the Rogue. It's a matter of what your needs are, in my case the Rogue checks most of the boxes.
Nissan for me
will never be better with a CVT
I love both...but CX5 is better
I like mazda driving dynamics and the simple elegant interior and exterior look. Nissan has too much its confusing and distracting.
The CX looks more luxury and the Rogue has a rugged look. Prefer the Rogue myself.
Mazda CX-5 rules!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Rouge best
I like the rogue better from a side view
Mazda cx5
The new Rogue absolutely wins for me.
Cx5 is my favorite
مازدا ملوك الكرسوفر 👍

Mazda CX5 is great at the engine, fuel consumption and driving pleasure.
Nissan Rogue is always more comfort, more balance among driving pleasure, engine and comfort.
The only thing Nissan can not use a more powerful engine is that because of the CVT Transmission. CVT Tends to damage early when Strong engine is working with it. CVT may not get too much pressure power from engine, it will slip then broken.
Mazda CX-5 is the winner 👍👍👍👍👍
turbo engine will be turned to dust long before the non turbo engines
These are two different vehicles. Why would you compare the Nissan to this instead of the non turbo CX5????
