2018 Buick Enclave
The Buick Enclave has been around for a decade and gets better with each iteration. The tradition continues for 2018, as GMC has introduced a completely redesigned vehicle that could redefine the concept of driving a luxury SUV. The redesign is impressive, giving the vehicle better functionality and a refined interior. The Enclave is now the flagship model and the biggest SUV from Buick, making it a solid competitor in the crossover category, alongside the Audi Q7 and Acura MDX.
Trim Levels
Available upgrades can be added to any of the three trims so that it can easily be customized to suit owner preferences. The base model Essence is anything but basic, as it includes touches such as LED headlights and the choice of either the All- Wheel or Four- wheel drivetrains. A step up to the Premium trim adds a Buick package that includes 20-in polished cast Aluminum wheels. The ultimate in Buick Luxury is new for 2018 with the addition of a new line called the Avenir, which will be carried over to other models. It includes everything from a heated steering wheel to Infotainment System with Navigation.
Engine
All Enclaves are powered by a new 3.6-liter V-6 engine that emits 302 horsepower with 260 pound-feet of torque. A unique combination of Double Overhead Cam and a 24-valve aluminum block produces the available power that should comfortably handle towing of up to 5,000 pounds when fully loaded. The fuel-saving stop/start technology is also included as standard, as is the 9-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and auto-manual toggle mode. The fuel economy is respectable for its class at a combined 21 mpg.
Performance
The 2018 Buick Enclave is surprisingly quiet due to the electronic noise cancellation technology. The reduced weight now produces a smoother ride and there is a fine balance between the body motion and wheel movements that carry the big size SUV on a large 120.9-inch wheelbase. The result is a very smooth ride with minimal surface reflection. Firm brakes and positive centering keep tracking consistent, and the Avenir model can include a driver-adjustable damper package with automated braking and adaptive cruise control.
Interior
The rear doors of the 2018 Enclave open wide for access to the three interior rows that seat seven adults. With the second and third rows folded down, the allotted cargo space expands to 97.6 cubic feet. The unique shape of the exterior is continued in the interior with a countered dashboard that flows into the door panels. An 8-inch touchscreen is standard on all vehicles to include the interface for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto systems. Interiors are designed in four subtle color schemes of perforated leather with contrasting stitching fabrics for a warm comforting feeling.
Safety Features
The Enclave Avenir is literally loaded with features that include, automatic emergency brakes, rear park assist, lane-departure warnings and auto lane keeping controls. Rear cross traffic alerts and blind-spot monitoring are all included to provide peace of mind to operators of this midsize SUV. GM's proprietary Rear Seat Reminder alerts users to check the back seats when exiting to ensure nothing is left behind.
