Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the BMW X1 than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV. The BMW X1 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 BMW X1 is a better financial choice over the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW X1, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mazda CX-70 PHEV.

Handling
The BMW X1 has the same turning radius as the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X1 has a lot less horsepower than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV.

Powertrain
The BMW X1 has much lower torque than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Mazda CX-70 PHEV.
