MAZDA CX-5 vs. Tesla Model Y

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is a versatile and fun-to-drive SUV, but we know it has some serious competition. We’re still quick to recommend it over competing models, even new and shiny ones like the Tesla Model Y, here at Paretti Mazda Covington. Let’s look at how this Mazda SUV holds its edge compared to the new all-electric model on the block.

The Trim Levels

One of the most significant advantages of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 is that it offers plenty of trim levels to choose from. With eight trim levels and two different engine options, finding a model that fits your needs and style is easier. The Tesla Model Y does not offer nearly as many customization options.

Standard All-Wheel Drive

On the Tesla Model Y, you pay more for all-wheel drive. When you go with the Mazda model, i-ACTIV® AWD is standard on each SUV. So, if you’re worried about traction or love to go off-road, the 2024 Mazda CX-5 could be a better choice.

Unique Tech and Features

The Tesla Model Y offers its own unique infotainment system, but some of the familiar features you know and love won’t be there. If you’re looking for Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, you need to buy the 2024 Mazda CX-5. This model also offers a few other features you won’t find on the Tesla SUV, including Mazda Intelligent Drive Mode Select and its multiple driving modes and customizable settings.
