The Buick Eclate is a full-size, three row SUV that packs plenty of power, and comes at an affordable price. The spacious and well-equipped crossover is available in three trims: Premium, Essence, and Avenir. Each model offers a variety of options and features, and is slightly more expensive than the others. The base model costs $46,195.
The Buick Eclate offers a comfortable ride and a large cabin. It offers many safety features such as blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alarm, lane departure warning and automatic emergencybraking. There are also three available seats in the third row, allowing you to fit eight passengers in the vehicle.
It is hard to see why Enclave, a mid-size crossover SUV, is not a popular choice. However, it doesn't offer the kind of high-end luxury you'd expect. This vehicle is more practical and comfortable than the latest technology. The ride is smooth.
A few minor upgrades were made to the 2022 Buick Enclave, including an updated 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 pack adds a premium suspension to your vehicle, as well as some driver assistance features.
The Buick Enclave is quiet, has a intuitive steering system and offers spacious interior. The Enclave also has a nine-speed automatic transmission, and a powerful V6 Engine. The engine isn’t very impressive but the Enclave has a mildly sporty exhaust note.
Buick Enclave also features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for added convenience. The touchscreen also offers wireless connectivity. Additionally, the infotainment system has built-in Amazon Alexa and OnStar services as well as a 360-degree view camera.
Buick Enclave comes standard with forward and back parking sensors, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency brakes with pedestrian detection. It also comes with blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, automatic high-beams, and surround-view cameras.
You can choose the Buick Enclave in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. 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. Although all-wheel drives have a slight fuel economy penalty, they do improve performance on slippery roads.
Buick Enclave has other features, including wireless phone compatibility and Wi-Fi Hotspot. It also includes a 8.0-inch touchscreen that displays a color Head up Display. For additional storage, you can fold the second- and third-row seats. The Buick Enclave, despite not having the most recent active safety technology, is still an attractive option for those looking for a spacious three-row SUV.
Overall, the Buick Encore is a good vehicle to drive. But, you might want to consider other options if you are looking for a stylish and luxurious SUV. There are better choices for your budget than the Hyundai Palisade as well as the Kia Telluride. Luxury-lovers might also consider the Acura MDX/Audi Q7.
