Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class than in the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, 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 Mazda CX-70 PHEV and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

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 Mazda CX-70 PHEV is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Mazda CX-70 PHEV is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Handling
The Mazda CX-70 PHEV has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Mazda CX-70 PHEV doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Mazda CX-70 PHEV and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
