Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Enclave than in the Acura RDX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Buick Enclave will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Acura RDX.

Convenience
The Buick Enclave requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Acura RDX, 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). Whether you pick the Acura RDX or the Buick Enclave, it's going to cost you about the same.

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

Handling
The Acura RDX has the same turning radius as the Buick Enclave, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Acura RDX has a little less horsepower than the Buick Enclave.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Acura RDX transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Buick Enclave.

Utility
The Acura RDX has less seating than the Buick Enclave, making the Buick Enclave the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
