2025 Buick Enclave vs. Ford Explorer
Compare Features & Specs
Overview
At Brown & Wood Buick GMC, serving the GREENVILLE, NC community, we're here to help you explore your SUV options. Today, we’re taking an in-depth look at the 2025 Buick Enclave and the 2025 Ford Explorer. While both vehicles stand out in their own right, the Buick Enclave emerges as the top choice for those who prioritize luxury, capability, and advanced safety.
Capability & Engines: Efficiency Meets Performance
When comparing performance, the 2025 Buick Enclave and 2025 Ford Explorer take different approaches to delivering power and efficiency. The Enclave boasts a 2.5L Turbo engine paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. With 328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque, and impressive towing capacity, the Enclave offers the perfect balance of strength and efficiency for daily driving or weekend getaways.
On the other hand, the Explorer provides a range of powertrains, including its standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. While powerful, the standard powertrain for the 2025 Explorer lacks the power of the Enclave with the 2.3L EcoBoost offering 300 horsepower.
Ultimately, the Buick Enclave and its refined performance and reliable power edge make it the preferred choice for demanding drivers who value a smooth ride alongside towing ability.
Interior & Luxury: Comfort Elevated
Both SUVs commit to delivering comfort, yet the 2025 Buick Enclave goes above and beyond with premium interior appointments. Stepping inside the Enclave feels like entering a luxury retreat. Standard features include leather-appointed seats, quiet-tuning technology to reduce cabin noise, and up to 97.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Features like optional massaging front seats and wood-trim accents elevate the Enclave luxurious vibe, along with multicolor ambient interior lighting. You will also find fun and convenience with the Ultrawide 30-inch diagonal screen for infotainment.
While spacious and practical, the Explorer’s interior leans more toward utility. It offers solid materials and comfort, but its finishings lack the upscale finesse that Enclave drivers love. If premium comfort, class, and style are on your checklist, the Buick Enclave outshines the Explorer with its attention to detail and quality.
Safety Features: Advanced Innovations
In terms of safety, both the Buick Enclave and Ford Explorer ensure peace of mind on the road, but the Enclave delivers extra peace of mind with its high-end technologies. The 2025 Enclave includes a suite of advanced safety features such as intersection automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, rear cross traffic braking, and HD Surround Vision. These technologies include subtle enhancements that prioritize your safety without overwhelming the driver.
The Explorer also offers a solid array of safety tech, including lane-centering and adaptive cruise control. While effective, the overall integration of these features doesn’t feel as cohesive or intuitive as the advanced system on the Buick SUV.
The 2025 Buick Enclave outperforms the 2025 Ford Explorer in luxury, performance, and safety features. At Brown & Wood Buick GMC, we pride ourselves on offering GREENVILLE’s top selection of new and pre-owned Buick vehicles, including the Enclave.
