It's hard for the 2017 Buick Enclave to compete with the all-new 2017 Audi Q7 in any category except price—but for some buyers that's enough.
The Enclave is a little more refined in our eyes than the 2016 Ford Flex, although the related 2016 Lincoln MKT creeps up in that category.
The 2016 Dodge Durango comes with a bigger, more powerful engine and more towing capability, but we think the Buick's a little smoother around the edges.

Quick Specs | |||||
The 2017 Buick Enclave is a good-looking SUV for families and one of the better-aging GM cars in recent memory. |
The 2017 Acura MDX is one of the best-driving, most technologically advanced three-row luxury crossovers, and a new Sport Hybrid model and active suspension should only add to that reputation. |
The 2017 Audi Q7 gets a rakish new sport-wagon look, a finely detailed, tech-savvy interior, and serious chassis advancements underneath—including a dramatic weight loss, available rear-wheel steering, and a plug-in hybrid version. |
The 2017 Dodge Durango tows like an SUV, drives like a crossover—but crash test scores are a dull spot. |
The 2017 Ford Flex is a spacious family hauler with a style all its own. It lacks the fuel economy of some of the competitors, but beauty doesn't come without effort. |
The styling may be polarizing, but the comfortable, spacious interior and muscular turbo V-6 still make the MKT an outside pick against luxury crossovers. |
