Midsize SUVs are a popular body style on the Burlington, NC, market. With so many options, it can be tough to narrow down your choices. We believe the Buick Enclave is a wonderful choice; however you may also be eyeing the Toyota Highlander. Compare the two SUVs and see where the Buick Enclave outshines the Toyota Highlander. Contact us if you have any questions about the Buick Enclave.
The Buick Enclave Interior is More Elegant
There is no doubt that the Buick Enclave offers a more elegant interior near Graham, NC. The cabin is outfitted with premium materials, even in the base trim, and the dashboard sports a flowing, attractive design that is just as functional. To get close to that level of premium ambiance in the Toyota Highlander, you have to choose the highest trims.
The Buick Enclave Boasts More Space
If space is a must, you will want to choose the Buick Enclave. The Enclave boasts an impressive 97.4 cubic feet total, with the second and third rows folded down. The Toyota Highlander comes close but cannot quite reach the Buick's level with only 84.3 cubic feet. That difference in cargo space also mimics the difference in space for passengers. While the Highlander offers an eighth seat, the Buick's potential seven seats provide more head- and legroom for occupants to move around.
The Buick Enclave Offers More Power
The Buick Enclave and Toyota Highlander bring powerful engines. However, the Buick Enclave gets the edge near Mebane. Its 3.6L V6 engine produces 310 horsepower. The Toyota Highlander's 3.5L V6 engine only produces 295 horsepower. The Buick Enclave uses this power to accelerate from zero to 60 MPH within 7.5 seconds.
The Buick Enclave is More Engaging to Drive
On top of having more horsepower near Greensboro, the Buick Enclave is more fun to drive. This SUV's polished driving dynamics are remarkable and will impress anyone that climbs inside. The suspension soaks up every dip and bump in the road, creating a gentle and comfortable ride. Steering is responsive, and the brakes feature confident stopping power. Overall, the Buick Enclave is cool and composed. By comparison, the Toyota Highlander delivers a less than satisfying ride. Drivers can find poised handling and decent overall comfort, but it doesn't quite stand out like the Buick Enclave's ride quality.
The Buick Enclave Comes with Teen Driver
The Buick Enclave raises the bar by offering the Teen Driver safety system. Teen Driver allows you to set volume and speed limits for secondary drivers. This is a great tool for parents with teenagers learning to drive. The Toyota Highlander simply does not offer this piece of technology.
The Buick Enclave Comes with a Power Liftgate
The Buick Enclave offers a standard power liftgate. Power liftgates help you load and unload your vehicle when your hands are full. The Toyota Highlander once again does not offer this feature.
