An SUV can serve many purposes for Buffalo, NY, drivers. Many want something stylish and spacious to haul their family around town. Others crave an adventure only an SUV can take them on. Where do you want your new SUV to take you?
The Mazda CX-50 from Northtown Mazda can meet your needs, no matter what your journey entails. But it isn't the only capable SUV in its class. With the introduction of the Ford Bronco Sport, The new CX-50 has some pretty fair competition vying for your attention. So, to make your decision easier, our team has accumulated some comparisons so you can find the right choice for your commute.
Style
The Ford Bronco Sport looks every bit a thrill-seeking SUV. And that is fine if that is what you want. But not every trip has to take you into uncharted territory. Let's face it: most of your driving will likely be on the paved roads around town in front of other civilized drivers. For this, the Mazda CX-50 is well suited.
The CX-50 gives riders more legroom in the front and a large, comfortable seat in the back. It showcases a beautiful exterior with sophisticated good looks. Its cabin is packed with upscale elements to take you to another level of comfort.
The Bronco Sport includes features roof rails and all-terrain tires. So, it can carry your gear in any condition. It has a higher roofline that your taller passengers will appreciate. It also includes higher-end materials if you don't mind shelling out lots of money for the higher trims.
Performance & Capability
You might think an SUV with the reputation of the Bronco Sport would provide more muscle under the hood. But you'd be wrong. The Mazda CX-50 generates more horsepower from its 187-horsepower four-cylinder than the 181-horsepower three-cylinder of the Bronco Sport. Even the upgrade options weigh in favor of the CX-50, with its turbocharged 256-horsepower four-cylinder out-muscling the 250-horsepower Bronco Sport.
But horsepower isn't everything. By all accounts, the CX-50 is more agile and maneuverable on area streets and highways than the Bronco Sport. And when comparing fuel efficiency, it is no contest. The CX-50 upgrade earns an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in the city, compared to the 21 mpg in the Ford. With its standard all-wheel drive, 8.6 inches of ground clearance, and advanced traction control system, the CX-50 can compete with the Bronco Sport when heading off-road.
Technology
Ford is a brand known for rugged models. But typically, its base models are about as practical as possible. The Bronco Sport is no exception regarding its tech. Mazda Connected Service, meanwhile, provides a larger infotainment touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. All standard in the CX-50.
