Shopping for a new vehicle on Long Island? At Smith Haven Mazda, your local Suffolk County Mazda dealership, we know that car shopping can be a tedious process, especially when you're looking for the right SUV. There are tons of SUVs available today and with so many makes and models to choose from, it's necessary to conduct some research before you make the decision to purchase or lease your next vehicle. At Smith Haven Mazda, we like to provide our customers with all the information they need to make an educated decision, which is why this page will compare two of the leading SUVs in their class - the 2019 Mazda CX-5 and 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan.

Take a look at the chart below, which compares the two SUVs on some basic factors:

Fuel Economy
The first factor on which we'll compare the 2019 Mazda CX-5 and the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is the fuel economy. The 2019 Mazda CX-5 will take you where you need to go on Long Island without needing to make tons of pitstops for gas, with 25mpg city and 31 mpg highway. The alternative choice, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan, only offers 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, falling short of the Mazda. Whether you need to go for long drives on the highway or short commutes in the city, the 2019 Mazda CX-5 seems like the better choice when it comes to fuel economy. 

Power 
Power is another thing that sets the 2019 Mazda CX-5 apart from the Tiguan. With 187 horsepower, the CX-5 beats out the Tiguan in terms of power, which only offers 184 horsepower. If you're looking for the vehicle that offers the extra punch of power, then consider the Mazda CX-5. 

Technology
When it comes to the extra interior features for the two SUVs, these two SUVs come close because they both offer a host of standard features like Apply Carplay, Android Auto, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and a navigation system. But, one thing that sets the 2019 Mazda CX-5 apart from the Tiguan is its extra standard feature that does not come standard on the Tiguan - remote keyless entry.

Towing Capacity
When you're going on a weekend trip or a family vacation, you want an SUV that can tow everything you need for the ultimate experience. That means, you'll probably want to opt for the 2019 Mazda CX-5 over the Volkswagen Tiguan because the Mazda CX-5 has 2,000 pounds maximum towing capacity! The Tiguan, on the other hand, falls short at only 1,500 pounds maximum towing capacity. If this is a feature that you value for an active, adventure-filled lifestyle, then it makes sense to choose the Mazda CX-5. 

The Verdict: The Mazda CX-5
While the Tiguan is a little more spacious than the Mazda CX-5, that is the only factor that doesn't come out in the Mazda CX-5's favor. When it comes to power, fuel economy, towing capacity, and technology, it's clear that the 2019 Mazda CX-5 on Long Island is the winner. However, at Smith Haven Mazda, we understand that this is still a lot to consider, so we encourage you to come down to our dealership and test drive the new 2019 Mazda CX-5 or one of our other new vehicles, to find the perfect fit for you.
