Comparison Review

Comfort
The Buick Enclave offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Subaru Ascent. The Buick Enclave offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Subaru Ascent, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Enclave as you will with the Subaru Ascent, 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 Subaru Ascent.

Dimensions
Since the Buick Enclave is much wider than the Subaru Ascent, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. 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 Subaru Ascent.

Handling
The Buick Enclave has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Ascent, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Buick Enclave has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Ascent.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Enclave and the Subaru Ascent. With the Buick Enclave, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Subaru Ascent.
