Buick Enclave Large Luxury Crossover SUV

BUICK ENCLAVE OFFERS LUXURY, REFINEMENT AND VERSATILITY

 The award-winning Buick Enclave continues to draw accolades and bring new customers to the brand for its outstanding design, performance and safety features. The three-row luxury crossover that forged the brand’s renaissance saw its best year ever in 2013. Recent accolades include Kelley Blue Book’s 2014 5-Year Cost-to-Own award for the full-size luxury SUV/crossover category.

 Enclave continue to outsell rivals including Lincoln MKT, Volvo XC90 and Infiniti QX60 with its state-of the-art features, capability and safety offerings such as the industry-first standard front center air bag, forward collision alert, lane departure and text-to-voice technology. It is also designed to comfortably accommodate three rows of adults and provides more third-row leg room than the Infiniti JX, Acura MDX, Lincoln MKT, Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90.



Sculpted exterior design 

The Enclave is instantly recognizable as a modern Buick, with sculpted styling and signature elements such as a black-chrome waterfall grille complemented by technologically advanced features, including signature wing-shape LED lighting. Monochromatic paint schemes accented with chrome contribute to the luxury crossover’s premium appearance, along with large 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheel designs.


Efficient, smooth driving experience
Enclave is driven by a 3.6L V-6 engine featuring fuel-saving direct injection technology and continuously variable valve timing, and matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Direct injection helps the engine produce power comparable to a V-8 – SAE-certified 288 horsepower (215 Nm) and 270 lb-ft of torque (366 Nm) – with good efficiency. EPA fuel economy estimates of 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway for front-wheel-drive models are very competitive with other three-row crossovers and utilities.

The strong V-6 engine also enables Enclave to tow up to 4,500 pounds (2,045 kg) when properly equipped, and it can be flat-towed in both FWD and AWD configurations. The available intelligent all-wheel-drive system provides increased traction on slippery roads by actively managing the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, based on factors such as wheel speed, throttle and surface conditions. There is no driver intervention; the system automatically decides how much torque to apply and delivers it to the wheels that have the best traction.
