Welcome to the Mazda CX-5 vs Ford Kuga comparison and review page. Both cars are based on the same design although the Kuga has been on sale for a number of year but soon to be updated.\u00a0We haven’t driven either cars at the time of posting so this page currently compares the specifications and initial impressions. We’ll expand the comparison part at a later time once we get a drive.<\/p>\n

The new 2012 Mazda CX-5 is the replacement for the old CX-7 and what a difference when you compare the two models. Although the CX-7’s design s a few years old it still looks current and stylish. The CX-5 on the outside is not looking as fresh as it should for an all new model. On the inside the CX-5 is a more practical setup again losing the stylish interior of its predecessor.<\/p>\n

The 2012 Ford Kuga is a conservative design with the usual Ford design themes. \u00a0Designed to be inoffensive we think is succeeds – except for the interior which needs a materials update. \u00a0The key differences between the two models is that the Ford uses a Volvo designed 5 cylinder petrol engine in this country – which makes it a very fast little SUV.<\/p>\n
