There are many great crossover and compact SUVs in the Portland area to choose from-and here at Charlie's Subaru, we believe that the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is the top choice. With a host of standard safety and technology features that the 2019 Mazda CX-5 doesn't have on any trim level, the Crosstrek is the better option. And on top of that, it's a better value too.

 

The Crosstrek offers powerful handling on rough terrain, as well other great factors. With this and its other great technology and safety features, it is a better choice for driving in the Portland, ME area. Below, you can see how the competition compares to the Crosstrek and learn more about what makes it such a great option.

 

Power and Performance

 

Both vehicles have similar engines and power when it comes down to it, but they work better in different situations. The Crosstrek excels in inclement conditions and difficult roads, making it a great choice for Maine weather. It's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-Mode ensure easy handling no matter what. The CX-5, however, is quick, sporty and can take corners quickly-which won't be helpful in inclement weather.

The 2019 Crosstrek is more affordable than the 2019 Mazda CX-5, with a base price almost $3,000 less than the CX-5's. And the Crosstrek comes equipped with all-wheel drive and smartphone integration-two important features you can't get with the CX-5's base model. The most expensive 2019 Crosstrek still comes in at almost $2,000 less than the more expensive Mazda CX-5. Even with all of the additional features, the 2019 Crosstrek is still less expensive.

 

Features

 

There are great features on both vehicles, but drivers in the Auburn, ME area will appreciate the Crosstrek's standard Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration, as well as soft-touch features and a more spacious backseat. The arrangement of the Mazda CX-5's backseat is not ideal for taller passengers due to reduced leg room, and the rear bench can feel uncomfortable on long drives.

 

Plus, the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek get slightly better gas mileage than the 2019 Mazda C-X5, with up to 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. In contrast, the CX-5 gets a maximum of 25 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

 

Safety

 

Subaru vehicles are known for their safety features, such as Eyesight Driver Assist Technology which warns of lane departure, monitors traffic movement, and can even apply full braking power in emergency situations. It is available on all but the standard models of the 2019 Crosstrek, and was created to keep you and your passengers. The 2019 Mazda CX-5 does not have a safety suite of this kind, and can't stand up to its competition.
