CardinaleWay Mazda Mesa - Elevating Your Drive – 2025 Mazda CX-5 vs 2025 Subaru Forester near Scottsdale, AZ
When it comes to standing out in a crowded segment, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 shines due to its commanding performance and uniquely refined interior, quickly surpassing what’s offered by the 2025 Subaru Forester. The most notable distinction is under the hood with the Mazda CX-5’s available turbocharged engine delivering an exhilarating punch, offering up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. This engine, paired with a responsive 6-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ AWD®, offers drivers a degree of engagement and confidence that is simply not matched in the Forester, which for 2025 continues with a single non-turbo SUBARU BOXER® engine and CVT. Whether merging onto freeways around Scottsdale, climbing mountain roads near Apache Junction, or exploring Chandler’s suburbs, the seamless acceleration and agility of the CX-5 set a higher bar for what Arizona drivers can expect from their SUV.
Beyond its powerful driving characteristics, the 2025 Mazda CX-5’s commitment to upscale comfort truly elevates the ownership experience. Available Caturra Brown Nappa leather, genuine layered wood trim, and cutting-edge conveniences like ventilated and heated front seats transform every trip into a premium journey, no matter the destination. While the Subaru Forester focuses on spaciousness and practicality, it can’t offer the same level of tactile luxury and bespoke design elements as the CX-5. The 10.25-inch Mazda Connect™ infotainment display, Bose® premium audio system, and Mazda Connected Services round out an interior designed with your every need in mind. At CardinaleWay Mazda Mesa, serving Scottsdale, Apache Junction, and Chandler, drivers are invited to experience a crossover SUV that blends head-turning style with technology and performance to spare, making the 2025 Mazda CX-5 the smart choice for all-around satisfaction.
