Buick Enclave vs. Toyota 4Runner Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Toyota 4Runner is significantly cheaper to get to the dealership than the Buick Enclave. Regarding MSRP, the Toyota 4Runner doesn't cost much less than the Buick Enclave.

Utility
The Buick Enclave will doubtless prove handier than the Toyota 4Runner for those of you with frequent child-cargo.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Buick offers a bit more head room than the Toyota 4Runner, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Buick Enclave make it markedly roomier for your passengers than the Toyota.

Dimensions
The Enclave's tank is roughly the same size as the Toyota 4Runner's, though the Toyota 4Runner's is a tad more capacious. The Toyota and the Enclave compete for the same parking spaces. The Toyota 4Runner's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more agile feel in daily traffic than the Buick.

Handling
The Toyota and the Buick Enclave have about comparable tires. With their comparable turning circles, the Toyota 4Runner and the Buick quite certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Buick Enclave's engine is a tad smaller than the Toyota 4Runner's, but not terribly so.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the 4Runner isn't quite as generous as the Buick Enclave's.
