MAZDA CX-5 vs. Tesla Model Y

You have plenty of options when shopping for a new SUV, but we still think that the capable, tech-forward models here at Paretti Mazda are always going to be among the best choices in their segment. The 2024 Mazda CX-5, for example, continues to stand out when compared to its competitors, even newer ones like the Tesla Model Y. If you’re torn between these two models, we can tell you why we think the 2024 Mazda CX-5 may be a better fit for you.

Standard All-Terrain Confidence

Every trim level of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 comes standard with i-ACTIV® all-wheel drive. This helps you maintain traction in all kinds of conditions. All-wheel drive costs extra on the Tesla Model Y. If you’re going off-road, the Mazda model is the better choice, even if both models are equipped with all-wheel drive. The Mazda CX-5 offers up to 7.6 inches of ground clearance compared to the 6.6 inches the Tesla Model Y provides.

Familiar Tech Features

The Tesla Model Y and Mazda CX-5 have their own high-tech infotainment systems, but the Tesla model lacks many familiar features you’ve come to expect from a new car. Looking for Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®? You’ll only find that on the Mazda model,

Mi-Drive™ and Multiple Driving Modes

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 also offers the Mi-Drive™ system with multiple driving modes, including some specifically designed for performance or going off-road. The Tesla Model Y does not provide any similar customization feature.
