Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 than in the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 GLE 450, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Mazda CX-70 PHEV is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Mazda CX-70 PHEV, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 is clearly the choice over the Mazda CX-70 PHEV for pulling heavy loads. The Mazda CX-70 PHEV has a little less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Mazda CX-70 PHEV and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
The Mazda CX-70 PHEV has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, making the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
