Welcome to the new 2022 Mitsubishi Outback Vs Mazda CX-5 comparison for 2022. One of the the class leaders for us is the Mazda CX-5 for it styling and mechanical package. In comparison the new Outlander is beginning to look like just a compromised model that tries to appeal to as many buyers as possible who want a urban focus affordable and largish SUV.

Mitsubishi Outback Vs Mazda CX-5 exterior comparison: The new Outlander looks good! it uses a bold and brand definition aggressive front end, a bit more stylish side profile and rear end. Conservative it may be but it up there with the rest of it’s competitors. The CX-5 on the other hand has a cleaner and sportier look and inherently lighter and smaller – but it isn’t. The paint quality on the Mazda are visibly better than the Mitsubishi…

Mitsubishi Outback Vs Mazda CX-5 interior comparison: The Mitsubishi is a nice place to be in by 2022 standards. It’s not particularly special but it is airy but it could be a design used by any number of manufacturers. In comparison the Mazda CX-5 looks  darker and the design is quite different from the Outlander. In fact it looks like a regular car but with higher seating. That said in 2022 and various world crises we think the trend to smaller more fuel efficient cars and SUVs has jut started and this may now be considered a large SUV!

Mitsubishi Outback Vs Mazda CX-5 engines and technology: The Outlander features lots of equipment but dependent on model grade but only has one engine option. It’s single engine option at the time of this comparison is it’s biggest shortfall. The engine produces empower but it engine level performance may irritate in the long term. The CX-5 on the other hand has at least 3 engine options along with safety systems. It is the engine options that win this aspect of the comparison.

In conclusion and winner to the Mitsubishi Outback Vs Mazda CX-5 comparison is the Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 has the engines that make it more performance orientated and it’s steering feel make it a more personal experience. Sure there is the trade mark under 3000 rpm – what we call the fuel efficiency mode but let’s not forget it is a largish high rise wagon but less so than the Outlander. Because we still have a pulse the Outlander is just another nicely styled SUV and there’s plenty to choose from in the class that try to do the same thing for the same price or less. So without a true selling feature we ask ourselves why consider?
