I was looking at these two cars as my next options, exactly these two - unfortunately they have both failed me this model year.
The Mazda because in Canada, it is a stripped down version of every other country's model. Our Signature is really weak, no cameras, etc. Just really disappointing.
The RAV4 which I just looked at this past Saturday (the 2019 XLE, non-hybrid but very similar) let me down because I am 6'4" tall and I could barely get in the door. When I did, my head was literally outside of the sunroof even though the seat was down all the way. Toyota apparently makes TINY interiors...so if your friend is tall, might want to have a seat in one first.
Good luck
I half sympathize. My husband couldn*t fit into the RAV4 (he's only 6 foot but has a long torso). But the CX-5 GT+PP works for me. I keep telling myself that the $10K I saved for not getting the RAV4 hybrid pays for the poorer gas mileage.

Strange as I am 6'3" and drove a 2019 le recently and there was plenty of room.I was looking at these two cars as my next options, exactly these two - unfortunately they have both failed me this model year.

Actually I was impressed with the 2019 RAV4 LE that I drove. Drives much better than my 2014 Limited model and definitely has better handling and power. I'm waiting to try the Hybrid and will compare to the CX5 GT/Signature model. Yes the exterior looks are to individual taste.... and I don't mind it.This should be fun.
From what I remember of the last thread, it still drives/handles like a Toyota, aka like crap.

I'm 195 so not a lot of padding lol.It would be interesting to know what body types you two tall guys have. If you*re tall and have a lot of *padding* it*ll make you sit higher in the chair and you won*t have as much elbow room.

I*d probably check out the new Rav-4. I think most people get it because it*s a Toyota and therefore reliable.
Sorry, but it bugs me sometimes when people make a blanket statement like that.
"It's a Toyota and therefore reliable". There's no guaranty that the new RAV4 will be as reliable as some past Toyota's.
Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but being a first year new model, I'd wait.
People buy Honda's for the same reason, and look what's happening there.
