beautiful, powerful and reliable

This car exceeded my expectations. I always thought of a Buick to be an old man's car... I've owned plenty cars in my life but this one is yet my favorite. (Never thought I would say these words lol) I strongly recommend this car to anyone who wants an upscale car for a great value. I'm a happy customer.

BEST FOR ALL MY NEEDS

The 2018 Buick Enclave Premium checks off all the boxes for style, comfort, space and overall performance. The redesign for 2018 brought this model back to respectability, and then some. First of all, the interior space is tops for the midsize brand, providing plenty of room for the golf clubs for our foursome with the 3rd row seats down, while also allowing lots of legroom for the 2nd seat passengers. The 2018 Enclave is promoted as a great family vehicle, but offers plenty of enjoyment for my wife and I whose kids have left the nest. The interior is well done with very comfortable seating throughout the cabin, including easy 3rd row access. The 2018 model is much easier to look at than the previous Enclaves, which were more tank like in appearance. The 2018 is lighter also, but added a few inches in length to it's frame, thus providing extra room inside. It is sleek, luxurious, and handles quite nicely on the open road. The 310 horsepower V6 is very capable, and the new Enclave handles all the bumps with ease. Possibly the best feature with the 2018 Buick Enclave, is the quiet cabin area, which has gotten extra seals in the door jams and acoustic glass. I test drove the infiniti QX60 and the Buick Enclave provided more of what I was looking for in my next new vehicle purchase. The QX60 is luxurious and handles pretty well, but lacks the space that I require, not to mention that Infiniti could not match the great deals available through the Buick dealership. I would recommend looking into this new model for your next purchase. You might be pleasantly surprised how far Buick has come in the midsize suv market. It has the looks, the comfort and space, all the luxury features, and one of the best values anywhere.

New Buick

Needed a SUV that seated 7. This vehicle is very comfortable and has a very nice interior. Love the new look of the Enclave and the bigger wheels that come on the premium model. The only negative I could find is that I was not able to put adaptive cruise control on this without purchasing the Avenir model and I hated the interior color on that model and their are no options for changing that.

Luxurious and Easy to Drive

Love this car, it drives well, it is roomy and comfortable and it has few if little issues! Feels like an expensive car and is reasonably easy to get in to! Best SUV I have driven.

Great vehicle.

I have been driving a Suburban or Expedition for over thirty. Wanted a change to something a little smaller but with lots of room. After checking out just about everything in this class and size I really like the Enclave Avenir. You will too.

Buick aimed high...almost hit the mark

This car is attractive but rather plain jane, styling is bland. Interior looks good but lots of plastic used. Seats are NOT great. You sit on the bolsters and they have hard sensors in them. Drives well but auto stop is terrible.

''18'' Enclave Avenir is great except for one flaw

The alert safety seat that is standard on Avenir is very uncomfortable. You are sitting on two hard bars with very little padding. Buick denied to rectify the issue!
