2024 MAZDA CX-50 vs 2024 Toyota RAV4 in Bloomington, IN
2024 MAZDA CX-50 pictured above with optional features.
The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is equal parts powerful and regal. In order to show off its features properly, we’ve decided to compare it to another top contender — the 2024 Toyota RAV4. Contact Royal South Mazda for details on this compact SUV.
Technology
Even when your travels take you far from Bloomington, you will want to stay connected and entertained. That’s why we want to begin this overview with a rundown on the technologies inside these SUVs. To start, the Mazda CX-50 has a standard 8-speaker audio system that will have you jamming along with crystal-clear sound quality. The RAV4, however, only has six speakers, meaning you may not have that concert-like experience. Both vehicles feature a standard 7-inch instrument display for an easy view of important vehicle details. When the entire seating arrangement is full, your loved ones can all charge their devices with the Mazda CX-50’s four total USB ports. Unfortunately, the RAV4 only has one port, so you will all have to share.
Interior
Along with the technologies, you will require a comfortable area to relax while cruising down State Road 46. Inside both SUVs is a 5-passenger seating arrangement, so everyone can join in on the fun. However, the ante is upped inside the 2024 Mazda CX-50. This is due to the standard heated front seats that will ensure you’re not chilled to the bone when temperatures drop. You will find that the interior of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 does not have this warming function. Moving on to flexibility, the Mazda CX-50 has standard 8-way power adjustability with 2-way lumbar support on the driver’s chair. As for the RAV4, only 6-way manual adjustability is standard. Your visibility won’t be dampened if you stick with the Mazda, since it has standard rain-sensing windshield wipers. This feature, once again, is unavailable on the Toyota.
Performance
When you are traveling across Bloomfield Road, having ample power is a requirement. That’s why the Mazda CX-50 utilizes a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with a sprightly 187 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. This same motor is found with the RAV4, however, the verve it holds changes to 203 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. The Toyota also works with FWD as the standard drivetrain. With the Mazda CX-50, you will experience better traction and handling as a result of the standard AWD. Here at Royal South Mazda, our team is prepared to answer your questions. Reach out to us today and we will be happy to assist you.

Testimonials
I highly recommend them.
Each time was an enjoyable experience.
“ I didn't buy my car here but sent it for regular maintenance a few times. Each time was an enjoyable experience. They were always friendly and never tried to sell me stuff I didn't need. I was sad when I got a new car and had to find another dealership for services! ”
We have had a very good experience with this dealership.
“ We have had a very good experience with this dealership. They were very upfront with their pricing. They had the suv that we were looking for in stock. They are not pushy but very knowledgeable about their businesses. Overall a very good dealership. ”
Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years.
“ Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years. I did not have an appointment and they got me in for service. Everyone from the Service writer to the service tech was professional and nice to work with. Price for my oil change and inspection was very competitive and worth the 5-star service I recieved. They also sent me a Video of the service so I could see what was completed...Just top tier in my book. I will continue to go there with my MX-5 until it's dying day. ”
Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot.
“ Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot. I brought car in for an inspection, I LOVED the explanation video that was sent to me of the inspection. Not only did it make me feel a little more a part of the process, it gave me an excellent run down of everything that needed done and an accessible means of sharing with those who understand cars better than I do. Thank you very much! ”




“ Service department is great! Easy to make an appointment and they have always been ready for me at my appointment time. They have been respectful of my time and very thorough in their services. For even a basic service they do a nicely comprehensive check on the car and send you a video of, all the things they checked it’s very cool. I highly recommend them. ”
