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.
For the 2019 model year, the Enclave receives a new FWD Preferred (1SD) equipment group, the addition of the automatic function for the heated steering wheel and front row heated seats, as well as a new Ebony with Ebony interior accents interior.
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.

Where I live, the Buick nameplate represents OLD people driving an Old name boring car. Except for the small Encore, I see very few Buicks on the road.
Where I live it is more progressive with a younger family generation in their 40’s. The whole Buick lineup is what I see for the younger, more affluent professionals.
Well said David. Mark??? Crawl out of your 1980’s can.
Actually, it is more for the working class, that have no real investments outside of what they wanted before their retirement. I cannot afford the Jag I want, but I can afford the luxury and plush environment of this vehicle. Where I live, I see very few late models, because they are family vehicles, that are overpriced for working class families. But they are what the typical family needs in technology and performance.
Too late to make a long story short, so…
This vehicle, is not for the “young family in their 40’s” (those are Chevys, Fords, Hyundai’s and Toyotas, he** even Nissans to name several), Nor is it old people driving. It is people that have waited all their life for luxury and dependability, at a fairly reasonable (not necessarily affordable) price. It most definitely is not affluent professionals, they drive other stuff (Jags, Benzes, Mercedes, to name a few).
Anyone who knocks Buick needs to go sit in a loaded up Enclave……..their nice!!!
*They’re
Go sit in a Hyundai Palisade or Kia Telluride and then get back to me on how “nice” an Enclave is. Buick has the Enclave priced in luxury territory, but the trimmings come nowhere close to matching far less expensive competitors.
@John Warner: Once you put any features on those two models, the price goes quite high very fast. Also, it was recently reported that those same two models have taken a really big increase in price since being introduced. Not sure where I found that article and it may have been on here somewhere. But the point is that they too get very pricey with any options. Secondly, let’s see how those two new models hold up over time. They may do well and it seems Kia/Hyundai have been doing well, but history shows those two brands have interior materials that have not held up well over time.
Personally, I don’t mind the Korean brands. However, we will need to disagree about the “trimmings” as you call it. I’ve sat in nearly every Kia at the LA auto show and they are nice enough, but not any better than the Buick’s.
Thanks for correcting my spelling John,People might not have know what i meant.
I have spent many test drives in a loaded Avenir. It just doesn’t compare to a European with the drive. An Enclave is just a disguised van. It sits right on the ground like a van. No real ground clearance. Is it nice. Absolutely. Just not nice enough for me to spend 60k on it.
I have owned and driven several Buick Enclaves and many other makes/models. The Buick Enclave stacks up to most. You don’t need to sit in a basic or loaded model. Just make comparisons on price and packages…
Since the Enclave was introduced in late 2008 (as I was selling them at that time), they have been a great looking vehicle. This one above in that dark garnet color is just stunning IMO. Although not quite the exact same color, it’s close to the color of my 2018 Encore, and I love it. When I went to the dealership after working out my numbers with the lady in the fleet department, I had her bring three colors for me to choose. After looking at the tanish and gray, I knew I really wanted the dark maroon color. Very rich and I’ve gotten tons of compliments on it.
Kind of on a different note: I understand those who really like and want “cars” or “sedans”, but if you are a true Buick person and maybe you have driven a Park Avenue or Lucerne or LaCrosse or Regals, etc, how can you not look at the fantastic looking line of SUV’s and crossovers Buick offers? What I don’t understand is how people can’t see the value and how nice it is to sit into a vehicle rather than down into a car. I can tell you 100% now that I have both a 2006 Lucerne and the Encore sitting in my garage that getting into and out of the Encore is so much better. Just driving down the road in the Lucerne and sitting so low is not as nice as sitting up higher. Don’t get me wrong, that Lucerne drive beautiful even with the 162K on the odo, but for driving across country, I’d actually prefer the Encore.
Look at it this way. Just imagine that dark garnet Enclave is just a higher sitting Park Avenue wagon! haha.
Though the second generation Enclave looks as good or better than anything in its class, I really liked the look of the original first generation in the front. Some people called it bulbous but that is what got people in the door!
The Volvo XC90 inscription Blue denim with blonde interior is a way better vehicle for about the same money. Way more safety features and much better looking.
There are about fifty name plates in the USA, Something for everyone.
@Robert Jones: I sell Volvo. You sir, are wrong when you say a “way better vehicle”! The XC90 is one of the worst models we sell for issues and buy-backs. They are constantly in the shop for repairs. We know the Volvo rep who handles the buy-backs by name he’s here so much. You are also very wrong on the “safety features”. Care to expand on that one and put your money where your mouth is?
I can and will agree with you that the XC90 is nice looking, especially in the denim blue/blonde. The Volvo’s also do a great job on the interiors. But safety and reliability being better? No.
Then you haven’t compared those vehicles closely. The safety features on the Volvo are far more advanced than the Enclave. It does not have auto braking, auto emergency braking, lane centering, steering assist in emergency situations. That’s just off the top of my head. I spent months comparing vehicles and I did own an Enclave and highly considered buying another one. It just isn’t as safe. The 2020 XC 90 is almost autonomous driving. It also drives more like a European vs a soft roll on the corners feel. The cage around the occupants of a Volvo is absolutely better than the Enclave. The third row of the Enclave is its bright spot with slight more leg room as the seat is higher off floor. Ford, Lincoln, Dodge and on are ahead of Gm. Ford has co pilot 360 which the got from Volvo. Gm doesn’t have it. So no I’m not wrong. Gm took tax payer money and still is a follower. I have drove Gm products my entire life. The Volvo Is my first non Gm product because I couldn’t get the things I wanted in a Gm product. I tried. Even Cadillac XT6 is behind. And it cost a solid 10 grand more with the most comparable features. I can’t say same features because the Cadillac didn’t have lane centering etc unless I paid more than 10 k more to get super cruise. Which only works on some roads. Do your product research before you call out people. You could make a simple statement without being a keyboard warrior.
Read my comment properly please. Gm and Volvo do not have great reliability so I did not mention it. I personally do not have much trouble with vehicles I buy new because I take proper care of them. The Volvo drives like a European vehicle. It has active bending lights that are not just cornering lights. They actually shine up the road around the vehicle in front of you. It has lane centering, traffic jam assist, which is basically a copilot feature as you can set it to highway speeds. Just keep your hand on the wheel and the car drives itself. Heads up display, personal settings for steering response, dynamic ride Control settings, steering assist in emergencies, automatic braking, which is part of a collision mitigation system. These are the things a Gm product does not have.
I guess that saying has some truth in it . The Rich Garnet color shown in this article is very similar to two GM vehicles I have owned in the past . They were a 1990 Buick Lesabre Limited { Claret ?? } and a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville { Crimson Red ?? } . My point ?? is old new again ?
I’m getting up there in age [ physically not mentally ] . I have owned 9 vehicles in my lifetime .. Six of them were GM Products . Of those six ; two Buicks ; two Pontiacs ; one GMC truck ; and my ride at present , the 2017 Cadillac XT5 ..
In my opinion , GM made a wise decision in keeping the Buick and eliminating the Oldsmobile lineup . I, personally,would not have any hesitation in buying another Buick .. But , like others have mentioned and noticed in this forum , GM has to upgrade their styling and interior quality in a lot of their models . Have a good day , everyone ..
where are the updates for the 2021 Buick Enclave redesign…..update interior……the 2020 news is old news, looks the same as my 2018 Enclave Avenir
The news and title of the story was the new rich garnet metallic color. This is only the third year of the second generation redesign, what more do your expect?
Gm is not a leader. They are following on every brand.
I’d buy one, but it’s too long for my condo parking space. I’m waiting for the Enspire, but since GM hasn’t given any data or time frame for debut and sale, I’m about to give up on it. If I run out of time, I my to to buy a Blazer or a ’21 Terrain Denali.
