The Buick Enclave is a hard-hitter that aims to punch above its weight class with the features and value on offer. The three-row SUV gets a modern design philosophy that puts it in line with rivals like the Acura MDX, the INFINITI QX60, and the Honda Pilot. For the 2018 model year, the Enclave brings in a fresh face along with an overhaul inside-out. The cabin still remains spacious and ever-accomodating to its passengers but the poshness gets it close to more luxurious rivals.
With an MSRP of nearly $40,000 the Enclave gets four trims - Base, Essence, Premium, and Avenir. AWD is available as an option for every trim except the Base. The three-row SUV gets its power from a 3.6L V6 under its hood that churns out a healthy 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Although nothing special, the output ensures that there’s no lack of power anywhere while driving.
