Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The GMC Yukon uses a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management producing 313kW and 624Nm of torque, sent through a 10-speed automatic to a 4WD layout.
The Mazda CX-70 responds with a Petrol making 254kW and 500Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.
The GMC Yukon has the clear power advantage at 313kW vs 254kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The GMC Yukon measures 5,337mm long on a 3,071mm wheelbase, 217mm longer than the Mazda CX-70 at 5,120mm (3,120mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mazda CX-70 generally means more rear legroom.
For towing, the GMC Yukon leads with a 3,628kg braked capacity vs 2,500kg. That 1,128kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Mazda CX-70's turning circle is 0.6 m tighter, 11.8 m against 12.4 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the GMC Yukon costs about $3,648 a year (12.8 L/100km) and fuel for the Mazda CX-70 about $2,309 a year (8.1 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $1,339 a year less for the Mazda CX-70.
Warranty: 3 years / 100k km (GMC Yukon) and 5 years / Unlimited (Mazda CX-70).
Where each one leads
The GMC Yukon: more power (313kW against 254kW) and the higher braked towing limit (3,628kg against 2,500kg).
The Mazda CX-70: the lower starting price ($73,020 against $174,990), the longer warranty (5 years against 3) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($2,309 a year against $3,648).
The Verdict
Mazda CX-70 scores higher, 72 vs 50
The Mazda CX-70 scores 72 to the GMC Yukon's 50 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 3 of the 5 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: fuel economy (Mazda CX-70 ahead by 43 points), value (Mazda CX-70 ahead by 42 points), reliability (Mazda CX-70 ahead by 30 points). At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Mazda CX-70 costs about $1,339 less (8.1 L/100km against 12.8 L/100km, at $1.90 a litre). Warranty: 3 years on the GMC Yukon, 5 on the Mazda CX-70.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
