If you are shopping Route 46 this week and want an SUV with AWD or 4WD, three current AW Auto options are worth comparing side by side: a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD, a 2018 Volvo XC60 T5 AWD Momentum, and a 2019 Jeep Compass Latitude 4x4. They are not the same kind of buy, and that is the point. One leans newer and lower-mile, one gives you a premium-brand AWD SUV price point, and one keeps the Jeep 4x4 angle practical.

2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD — $19,997

The Mazda CX-5 is the newest and lowest-mileage SUV in this group. This 2020 CX-5 Touring AWD is listed at $19,997 with 59,488 miles. For a Bergen County buyer who wants one SUV for commuting, errands, family use, and bad-weather confidence, that combination is the cleanest all-around value story here.

The inventory lists this CX-5 with AWD, a 2.5 4 Cylinder Engine, and Soul Red Crystal Metallic exterior color. The practical reason to start here is simple: if your budget can stay just under $20,000 and mileage matters to you, the Mazda gives you the strongest balance of model year, miles, and everyday SUV usefulness.

2018 Volvo XC60 T5 AWD Momentum — $13,445

The Volvo XC60 is the premium value play. This 2018 XC60 T5 AWD Momentum is listed at $13,445 with 95,369 miles, AWD, and a Fusion Red Metallic exterior. It costs noticeably less than the Mazda while still giving shoppers a luxury-brand SUV nameplate and AWD from the inventory listing.

The tradeoff is mileage. At 95,369 miles, it is not the low-mile choice of the group. But for someone shopping around Lodi, Hackensack, Passaic, or Teaneck who wants a premium AWD SUV feel without moving into new luxury SUV money, the Volvo deserves a look. The right question is not “is it the newest?” The better question is whether the price, mileage, and vehicle class fit what you actually want to drive every day.

2019 Jeep Compass Latitude 4x4 — $12,997

The Jeep Compass brings a different angle. This 2019 Compass Latitude 4x4 is listed at $12,997 with 66,168 miles. The inventory shows 4WD, a 2.4 4 Cylinder Engine, and Redline Pearlcoat exterior color. It is the compact Jeep option in this comparison, and it sits between the Mazda and Volvo on mileage while coming in below both on price.

For shoppers who like Jeep size and style but do not need to jump into a larger SUV, the Compass is easy to understand. It gives you 4WD from the listing, newer-model-year value, and a price point that keeps the conversation practical. If you drive mostly local roads around Bergen County but still want extra traction for rough weather, this is the one to compare closely.

How to choose

Start with your budget and mileage comfort. If you want the newest, lowest-mile choice here, look first at the 2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD at $19,997 and 59,488 miles. If you want premium-brand AWD value and are comfortable with higher mileage, compare the 2018 Volvo XC60 at $13,445 and 95,369 miles. If you want a compact Jeep 4x4 with 66,168 miles and a lower price, the 2019 Compass at $12,997 may be the better fit.

All three are current inventory units at AW Auto, 23 US-46 West in Lodi, NJ. Availability can change fast, so call ahead or stop in before building your whole shopping trip around one vehicle.
