Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Equinox offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mazda CX-70, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Equinox and the Mazda CX-70.

Convenience
The Mazda CX-70 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Equinox, 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 Chevrolet Equinox is a better financial choice over the Mazda CX-70, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox 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 Chevrolet Equinox, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mazda CX-70.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Equinox has a lot less horsepower than the Mazda CX-70.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Equinox does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mazda CX-70.

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