Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Enclave than in the BMW X1, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Buick Enclave will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the BMW X1.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Buick Enclave, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X1 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Buick Enclave.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the Buick Enclave, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW X1, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Buick Enclave.

Handling
The BMW X1 has the same turning radius as the Buick Enclave, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X1 has a lot less horsepower than the Buick Enclave.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW X1 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Buick Enclave.
