Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mazda CX-70 than in the Jeep Compass, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Jeep Compass and the Mazda CX-70.

Convenience
The Mazda CX-70 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Jeep Compass, making it more convenient to drive.

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). Clearly, the Jeep Compass is a better financial choice over the Mazda CX-70, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Compass is much slimmer than the Mazda CX-70, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Jeep Compass, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mazda CX-70.

Handling
The Jeep Compass has a smaller turning radius than the Mazda CX-70, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Mazda CX-70 is clearly the choice over the Jeep Compass for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Compass has a lot less horsepower than the Mazda CX-70.

Powertrain
The Jeep Compass has much lower torque than the Mazda CX-70, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
