Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about comparing the 2025 Buick Enclave and 2025 Mazda CX-70.

Which crossover offers more utility for cargo when comparing the 2025 CX-70 and Enclave?

Despite the CX-70 being the smaller overall vehicle (200.8 inches long), it paradoxically quotes a significantly higher cargo capacity of 39.6 cu ft compared to the Enclave's 22.9 cu ft. This suggests a major difference in how the third rows or cargo floors are configured.

How does the torque difference affect real-world driving between the two models?

The Mazda CX-70 holds a slight edge in peak twisting force, delivering 332 lb-ft of torque compared to the Enclave's 326 lb-ft. However, the Enclave compensates with 328 hp, suggesting it might pull stronger at higher RPMs while the CX-70 may feel punchier off the line.

Is the higher horsepower of the Enclave noticeable given the similar MPG ratings?

The Enclave's 328 hp versus the CX-70's 280 hp indicates better top-end performance, yet both achieve similar fuel economy (23 vs 25 combined MPG), implying the CX-70 is structurally lighter or more aerodynamically efficient for its power level.

Why does the Mazda CX-70 have a lower MSRP but offer AWD standard?

The CX-70’s lower starting price of $40,445 compared to the Enclave’s $45,100 allows it to include standard AWD at a lower barrier to entry. The Enclave uses front-wheel drive as its base configuration.

How much larger is the 2025 Buick Enclave than the CX-70?

The Enclave is substantially longer, measuring 207.6 inches compared to the CX-70's 200.8 inches, a difference of 6.8 inches. It is also taller, measuring 71.0 inches high versus the CX-70's 68.2 inches.

Both cars use regular unleaded fuel; do their transmissions affect performance?

Both vehicles utilize an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission, ensuring modern, smooth power delivery. The difference in output is purely attributable to the engine tuning and mechanical specifications, not the transmission design.
