Drivetrain
The Mazda CX-70 uses a Petrol producing 254kW and 500Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.8 seconds.
The Porsche Macan responds with a Electric making 420kW and 955Nm, paired to a single-speed automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds.
The Porsche Macan has the clear power advantage at 420kW vs 254kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Porsche Macan is 3.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Mazda CX-70 measures 5,120mm long on a 3,120mm wheelbase, 315mm longer than the Porsche Macan at 4,805mm (2,893mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mazda CX-70 generally means more rear legroom.

For towing, the Porsche Macan leads with a 2,500kg braked capacity vs 2,500kg. That 0kg 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 0.3 m tighter, 11.8 m against 12.1 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Mazda CX-70 costs about $2,309 a year (8.1 L/100km) and electricity for the Porsche Macan about $1,018 a year (21.2 kWh/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Mazda CX-70) and 3 years / Unlimited (Porsche Macan).
Where each one leads
The Mazda CX-70: the lower starting price ($73,020 against $171,100), the bigger boot with the seats up (598L against 476L) and the longer warranty (5 years against 3).
The Porsche Macan: more power (420kW against 254kW).

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.
