Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mazda CX-70 PHEV than in the MINI Countryman. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Mazda CX-70 PHEV and the MINI Countryman.

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). The Mazda CX-70 PHEV is somewhat more expensive than the MINI Countryman.

Dimensions
Since the Mazda CX-70 PHEV is much wider than the MINI Countryman, 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 MINI Countryman.

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

Performance
The Mazda CX-70 PHEV has a little more horsepower than the MINI Countryman.

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

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 MINI Countryman.
