Lincoln MKT vs. Buick Enclave
Americans really like choices. And when looking into purchasing a luxury crossover SUV you certainly have a lot of them to choose from. Almost every automaker has a luxury brand and because of the popularity of the crossover SUV all of them are through a nearly endless list of makes and models at you. But when you are dealing with an investment of this sort, why not go right to the top and take a look at the names you recognize as industry leaders. Two of the top names in vehicle luxury have always been Lincoln and its General Motors counterpart, Buick. And they offer two of the best luxury crossover SUVs available and we are going to compare the Lincoln MKT vs. the Buick Enclave.
In keeping with the theme of choices while comparing the Lincoln MKT vs. the Buick Enclave, Lincoln and GM have taken divergent paths in offering the two vehicles. The Buick crossover has three trims with different packages associated with them and Lincoln Motor Company has gone a simpler route offering a single trim with many options as standard features with some wiggle room on the back end for customization’s sake. Lincoln built the car most customers wanted the first time around.
The Lincoln MKT has an impressive array of standard features to offer in its base trim.
If there was one place where the Lincoln MKT vs. the Buick Enclave battle begins to tip toward the Lincoln MKT, available at Mike Castrucci of Alexandria, is in the arena of engine power. The Buick Enclave offers just one engine choice, a 3.6-liter, V-6 with 288-horsepower. The starting engine option for the 2013 Lincoln MKT is an upgraded 3.7-liter, V-6 that can make 300-hp and has a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters to allow you to customize your gear choices to get the most performance possible from your Lincoln MKT. If you should choose the MKT EcoBoost option, you will receive a twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter, V-6 that is rated up to 355-horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque for one of the most powerful luxury crossover SUVs on the market.
Even with the extra horsepower, and larger engines the miles per gallon battle in the 2013 Lincoln MKT vs. the 2013 Buick Enclave comparison tilts toward the Lincoln model.
