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). Clearly, the Buick Envista is a better financial choice over the Subaru Solterra, when considering MSRP.

Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Envista does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Solterra.
