2013 Lincoln MKX vs. 2013 Buick Enclave Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lincoln MKX than in the Buick Enclave. The Buick Enclave offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Lincoln MKX, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The Buick Enclave requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Lincoln MKX, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Lincoln MKX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Buick Enclave. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Lincoln MKX and the Buick Enclave have similar Destination Charges.

Dimensions
Since the Lincoln MKX 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 Lincoln MKX, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Buick Enclave.

Drivetrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Lincoln MKX transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Buick Enclave.

Handling
The Lincoln MKX has a smaller turning radius than the Buick Enclave, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Buick Enclave is clearly the choice over the Lincoln MKX for pulling heavy loads. The Lincoln MKX has a little more horsepower than the Buick Enclave.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Lincoln MKX seats a lot fewer people than the Buick Enclave. The Lincoln MKX has significantly less cargo capacity than the Buick Enclave.

Warranty
The Lincoln MKX comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Buick Enclave.
