The Buick Eclate is a full-size, three row SUV that packs plenty of power, and comes at an affordable price. This spacious crossover is available in three trim levels: Avenir Premium, Essence and Premium. Each model offers a variety of options and features, and is slightly more expensive than the others. The base model is priced at $46,195.
The Buick Enclave is spacious and comfortable to ride in. The Enclave also features blind-spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking. The third row has three seats, which allows you to carry eight people.
The Enclave's many amenities make it hard to believe that it isn't the top choice for mid-sized crossover SUVs. It doesn't provide the high-end luxury that you would expect. The vehicle's focus is on comfort and practicality, rather than latest technology. This makes the ride smooth.
The 2022 Buick Enclave received a few small upgrades, including a new steering wheel and LED lighting. An optional second-row bench seat can be added to increase the seating capacity to eight. The optional Avenir technology package adds a premium suspension, along with some driver assistance features.
The Buick Enclave is quiet, has a intuitive steering system and offers spacious interior. You also get a standard ninespeed automatic transmission as well as a powerful V6-powered engine. The Enclave is a moderately sporty engine, even though it's not particularly powerful.
Buick Enclave comes with a wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Wireless connectivity is also available through the touchscreen. Also, the infotainment software offers OnStar services and built-in Amazon Alexa.
Buick Enclave comes standard with forward and back parking sensors, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency brakes with pedestrian detection. Blind-spot monitoring, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, surround-view cameras, and automatic high-beams are all included.
You have the option of choosing between front-wheel or all-wheel driving for the Buick Enclave. Front-wheel drive has a rating of 23 mpg highway and 18 mpg for city. All-wheel drives have a lower rating by one mpg. While all-wheel drive does have a slight fuel-economy penalty, it does improve performance on slippery roads.
The Buick Enclave also features wireless phone compatibility, Wi-Fi hotspot and an 8.0-inch touchscreen with a Head-Up Display. For additional storage, you can fold the second- and third-row seats. Despite the lack of the latest active safety technologies, the Buick Enclave is still a good option for anyone looking for a stylish and roomy three-row SUV.
The Buick Inclave is a fine vehicle, but it's not the most luxurious or stylish SUV you can drive. You will find the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Kia Telluride to be better options for your money. Luxury-minded customers might also like the Acura MDX or Audi Q7.
