2021 Buick Enclave in Clinton Twp., MI - $28,895

Buick has redesigned the Enclave for 2018. Available in Base, Essence, Premium and Avenir models, the Enclave is the first Buick to feature the all-new new Avenir sub-brand representing the highest expression of Buick luxury. Avenir offers unique styling cues and an extensive set of standard features and premium materials throughout the vehicle. New and versatile functionality, interior spaciousness, and intuitive technologies build on the Enclave’s established popularity.

Smart innovation and style come standard on the 2018 Buick Enclave. Buick-first Evonik Acrylite exterior lighting illuminates the road ahead with the power of more than 100 LEDs across the vehicle. An in-vehicle ionization leaves the air cleaner and fresher. It’s all packaged within an elegant design that combines concept car inspiration with improved interior luxury amenities and roominess for up to seven passengers.

The all-new Enclave Avenir distinguishes itself from the standard Enclave with the following unique features: standard extensive active safety, connectivity and luxury features; 17 radar, camera and ultrasonic sensors when fully equipped; standard hands-free power-programmable liftgate with a Buick tri-shield logo illuminates the ground below the hidden sensor and power-folding third row; Avenir-exclusive three-dimensional mesh grille, badging, pearl nickel 20-inch aluminum wheels and luxurious interior materials; standard rear camera mirror; and Evonik Acrylite lighting technology to provide a distinctive light signature.

Power for the Enclave is generated by a 3.6L V-6 engine with stop/start technology and paired with a Hydra-Matic 9T65 nine-speed automatic transmission. Available intelligent AWD with active twin-clutch rear differential and Buick-first switchable AWD help improve control and efficiency. The standard five-link rear suspension and available continuously variable real-time damping (CDC) offer a refined, isolated ride.

Inside the passenger cabin, a wide array of advanced technologies and interior features emphasizing premium comfort and inclusive luxury comes standard in the Enclave, including heated and ventilated front seats; heated second-row seats; wireless charging; a dual moonroof; an eight-inch diagonal reconfigurable cluster display; and a rear camera mirror that can function as a traditional mirror or as a camera, eliminating obstructions such as heads and headrests while expanding the rear field of vision by an estimated 300 percent.
