The
Enclave is Buick’s first luxury crossover SUV. It is built on an
all-new crossover architecture and motivated by one of GM’s most
powerful V-6 engines ever.
The Enclave creates its own niche in the fast-growing crossover market by melding elegant interior and exterior design and a confident ride in a quiet, well-crafted roomy cabin capable of carrying up to eight passengers with space for gear. It arrives in dealer showrooms next summer.
Available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive, Enclave employs a new 275-horsepower V-6 powertrain with variable valve timing (VVT) that is mated to Buick’s first six-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6L V-6 VVT is a sophisticated dual-overhead camshaft engine that uses full four-cam phasing, rapid data processing and torque-based engine management to optimize power, economy and emissions performance.
A host of innovative features that are uncommon or unavailable in competitors’ vehicles add to the Enclave’s standout status in the segment, including a second-row seat console that unfolds to contribute to a flat load floor when the seats are folded.
“Enclave is the new face of Buick and everything we want in future Buicks,” said Buick General Manager Steve Shannon. “It’s an absolutely stunning, high-quality crossover SUV that delivers all the product attributes that define the new Buick: a confident ride, relevant technologies, more luxury features, elegant design and a quiet, comfortable and well-crafted interior. These are the hallmark traits of future Buicks.”
Peace-of-mind features such as Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist and a rear back-up camera, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation are also available.
