Dodge Durango vs. Buick Enclave Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Buick to the dealership as the Dodge Durango. Producing an accurate gas mileage evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Enclave is the winner as far as fuel economy. The Durango will tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the Buick Enclave will. The Dodge isn't much less expensive than the Buick as far as MSRP. The Enclave will save you a bundle at the pump every year compared to the Dodge Durango. The Dodge Durango will cost you a bundle in gasoline every year compared to the Buick Enclave.

Utility
Neither the Buick Enclave nor the Dodge Durango has a marked advantage in terms of seating capacity. The Durango outpulls the Enclave by a massive margin.

Convenience
You'll most definitely take the Dodge Durango for a fill-up roughly as often as the Buick Enclave.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Durango offers a bit more head room than the Buick Enclave, there frankly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Dodge Durango offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Buick Enclave, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Durango than the Buick Enclave because of its larger tank. The Durango and the Buick compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning radiuses, the Dodge and the Buick most definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge's engine is substantially larger than the Buick Enclave's. Bear in mind that bigger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Durango will have picked up and gone by the time the Buick Enclave finally gets moving. The Buick Enclave could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge in terms of torque.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Dodge Durango isn't quite as generous as the Buick Enclave's.
