The GM Authority Take
Buick Enclave sales performance outpaced the segment in November, enabling the crossover to take first place in its segment during the month ahead of the Acura MDX, Infiniti QX60, Audi Q7 (see Audi Q7 sales), and Volvo XC90 (see Volvo XC90 sales).
We attribute the Enclave’s noteworthy November sales performance to the following three factors:
- An all-new, highly-competitive second-generation model that is attracting new car buyers to the Enclave and to the Buick brand
- Attractive incentives to move units of the outgoing, 2017 model year Enclave
- Value-laden vehicle that presents an attractive price point (that is about $10,000 lower) compared to more expensive rivals such as the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90
- A continuous change in market vehicle buying dynamics that sees car buyers continue switching to crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) from other vehicle types like sedans
Going forward, the Enclave and all other segment contenders will face strong competition from the upcoming Lexus RX350L, an upcoming three-row variant of the best-selling Lexus RX.

About Buick Enclave
The Buick Enclave is a premium full-size crossover utility vehicle (CUV). It is the biggest Buick crossover currently offered, slotting above the subcompact Buick Encore and compact Buick Envision.
The first generation Enclave was introduced for the 2009 model year to replace the Buick Rendezvous. It rode on the GM Lambda platform and was discontinued in 2017. The current, second-generation model was introduced for the 2018 model year. It rides on the extended-length GM C1 platform shared with the second-generation Chevrolet Traverse. A shorter variant of the same platform underpins the second-gen GMC Acadia and Cadillac XT5.
Compared to its first-generation predecessor, the second-gen Enclave is an all-new vehicle that is larger, lighter, sleeker and more modern. It also introduces new trim levels, including the range-topping Enclave Avenir.
The Buick Enclave is built at the GM Delta Lansing Township factory in Michigan operated by GM USA. It is currently the only plant that builds the vehicle alongside the second-gen Chevy Traverse.

Comments
outstanding styling exterior and luxury interior -but there should be a 2 row only seat option . we don’t need a third seat which adds weight so we nixed the Enclave . again GM screwing up on their options but it is made in the USA. great^^^^^
Fold the seats down… they fold flat.
If you want to two-row version, you might wait a year for the rumored Enspire.
They lease really well and have extra incentives and marketing from the Costco Holiday program this time of year…Current national offer is $291 drive off and $291/mo if you can qualify for the lease conquest then up to a $700 cash card from Costco…MSRP is just under $40K, damn good lease deal even if you have to pay for extra mileage, the lenders allows up to 20K miles per year…
Enclave, TourX and Regal are beautiful designs. Enclave has a perfect sweep spear, an element missing on Lacrosse.
Buick grows as Cadillac fades. Buick is a bargain for GM while Cadillac has bled billions.
Buick’s Avenir trim makes for an ideal Lincoln, Acura, Volvo and Infinity rival. Sharing showroom space with GMC only gives GM a greater advantage.
Go Buick!
I agree with everything, we just have to see how JDN decisions affect things in the next few years as most products now he only had limited input…Caddy has gone through some major changes during JDN, perhaps the most in company history…During JDN tenure, he moves longtime Caddy headquarters from Detroit to Manhattan, he forced dealers to opt in a tiered incentive program where more incentives go to the dealerships who sell the most or to accept a buyout and now for perhaps the first time in history, the CUV/SUV is more desirable then a “car”…
