2023 Mazda CX-50 vs. 2023 Subaru Outback
2023 Mazda3 vs. 2023 Honda Civic
Overview
If you're in the market for a new SUV, you might find the selection process somewhat confusing. Maybe you're trying to decide between the 2023 Mazda CX-50 and the Subaru Outback. Here's why the CX-50 is the superior choice.
Engine Performance
The CX-50 comes standard with a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine capable of producing 187 horsepower. The Outback's base engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder, only produces 182 horsepower. The CX-50's engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission that seamlessly shifts through gears for smooth acceleration and effortless handling. Unfortunately, the Outback's continuously variable transmission isn't as smooth as the CX-50's conventional yet capable transmission.
Comfort and Connectivity
As soon as you enter the CX-50's cabin, you'll immediately notice the 10.25-inch infotainment display that serves as the cabin's centerpiece. This gorgeous and intuitive display features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth capability, and a Bose audio system. The Outback comes standard with an infotainment display that only measures 7 inches. In addition to being smaller than the CX-50's display, the Outback's display isn't as user-friendly and doesn't have a premium audio system.? As you enjoy the CX-50's connectivity features, you can also take advantage of comfort features like a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control with pollen filter, and a six-way adjustable driver's seat. While similar features show up in the Outback lineup, they're only available in upper trim levels, meaning you'll have to pay extra.? Upon taking a closer look, you can see why the 2023 Mazda CX-50 is the better option when compared to the Subaru Outback. Test drive the CX-50 today and experience it for yourself.?
