Buick Enclave vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee

Driving an SUV means there’s room for the whole family. That is, if you drive the Buick Enclave. This SUV comes standard with three rows of seats and has 157.3 cubic feet of passenger space. While the Grand Cherokee is offered with an available third row, it only comes standard with a 145-cubic foot passenger capacity.

How does this difference affect passenger dimensions? Check out this quick table to see which one offers more wiggle room:

While the Grand Cherokee offers extra space in some areas, the Enclave proves a more evenly distributed space among all three rows.

On top of extra passenger space, you’ll find more room for your cargo needs when you drive the Buick Enclave. This SUV comes equipped with a minimum cargo capacity of 23.6 cubic feet and, with the second and third rows folded down, provides up to 97.4 cubic feet of cargo space.

The Grand Cherokee, on the other hand, maxes out at 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space when optionally equipped with the third row. With this configuration, you’ll only have 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space when traveling with a full cabin.

When you crave fun, you need to compare the engines of the Buick Enclave and the Jeep Grand Cherokee as these components supply your vehicle with the hair-raising power you crave.

Under the hood of the Grand Cherokee is a 3.6L V6 engine that’s capable of delivering up to 293 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque. While on its own this seems impressive, you’ll find it’s lackluster when compared to the Buick Enclave.

This model is powered by a 3.6L V6 engine as well. Despite their shared sizes, you’ll find anything but that when comparing performance outputs. The Enclave churns out a remarkable 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque with ease.

Unscheduled trips to the gas station don’t fit with your lifestyle. Fortunately, both the Enclave and the Grand Cherokee offer extraordinary MPG ratings.

With nearly identical fuel efficiency ratings, you’ll find that both the Buick Enclave and the Jeep Grand Cherokee will help reduce the number of trips you make to the gas station.

It’s time to feel like a VIP. Inside the Buick Enclave, you’ll find standard perforated leather-trimmed upholstery and heated seats. The addition of tri-zone automatic climate control helps ensure comfort for all passengers since it lets riders in three unique zones independently set and adjust their temperature settings.

You’ll find the same features offered by the Grand Cherokee; however, one major difference is that these features are only found optionally. That means you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim level to gain the same comfort features you get standard with the Enclave.

One unique advantage to choosing the Buick Enclave is having access to QuietTuning™ technology. This feature comes standard and works hard to enhance your commute.

Several technologies are combined to minimize road and engine sounds. As a result, you’ll only experience the sweet sound of laughter and your favorite songs as the background to your commute.

Unfortunately, those who drive the Grand Cherokee may need to talk louder or turn up the music to help block out road sounds since no similar feature is offered.
