Engines and Performance: A Battle of Power
When it comes to engine performance, both the Mazda CX-5 and Renault Austral offer distinct approaches to satisfying drivers. The Mazda CX-5 offers a choice between petrol mild hybrid (MHEV) and diesel engines, with a power range from 150 to 194 HP. This SUV doesn't just focus on power but also caters to a wide range of driving preferences with options for both manual and automatic transmissions. For those who prioritize stability and control, the CX-5 also offers all-wheel drive capabilities.
On the other hand, the Renault Austral presents itself with a greener stance, offering a mix of petrol mild hybrid and full hybrid engines, with power outputs at 158 and 200 HP. The Austral is primarily designed for efficiency and economy, reflected in its use of a continuous variable transmission (CVT) to maximize fuel efficiency and deliver a smoother driving experience.
