Comparison Review

Comfort
The Buick Envision offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Mazda CX-50. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Envision and the Mazda CX-50.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Envision as you will with the Mazda CX-50, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Envision will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mazda CX-50.

Dimensions
Since the Buick Envision is much slimmer than the Mazda CX-50, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Buick Envision takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mazda CX-50.

Handling
The Buick Envision has a larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-50, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Buick Envision has a little more horsepower than the Mazda CX-50.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Envision does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mazda CX-50.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Envision and the Mazda CX-50. The Buick Envision has less cargo space than the Mazda CX-50, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
