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 Honda Passport will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Passport is much wider than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. The Honda Passport is slightly shorter than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Honda Passport has a larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
