Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Enclave than in the Ford Explorer. The Buick Enclave will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Ford Explorer.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Enclave as you will with the Ford Explorer, 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). The Buick Enclave is somewhat more expensive than the Ford Explorer.

Dimensions
The Buick Enclave is about the same width as the Ford Explorer. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Buick Enclave, which is slightly longer than the Ford Explorer.

Performance
The Buick Enclave has a little more horsepower than the Ford Explorer.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Buick Enclave transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Ford Explorer.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Enclave and the Ford Explorer.
