Additional Description: The 2015 Buick Enclave is the American brand's answer to luxury 3-row crossover SUVs such as the Acura MDX Audi Q7 and Infiniti QX60. Like those upscale family haulers the Buick is awash with amenities such as plush interiors premium audio and advanced safety systems. Where the Enclave stands apart from peers is in size and price. As with its mainstream siblings the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia the Enclave is larger than its rivals making it ideal for those requiring extra space for passengers and cargo. Despite its bigger footprint the Enclave's sub-$40000 starting price undercuts rivals by thousands. Buick's 3-row SUV may not have the brand cachet or sleek design of some rivals but what it lacks in those areas it makes up for in value.You'll Like This Car If...If you want an upscale hauler that can comfortably seat seven or eight people and boasts a quiet comfortable ride in the $40000 range the 2015 Enclave offers good road manners and much vehicle for the money.You May Not Like This Car If...Buick's image and sales are rising but some luxury buyers won't settle for anything less than a European brand such as Audi BMW or Mercedes-Benz with a history of badge envy. Those brands also offer higher-mileage diesel-powered luxury SUVs. Acura's MDX meanwhile features cutting-edge technology and better fuel economy.What's New for 2015Among the minimal changes for the 2015 Enclave are a heated steering wheel on upper-level trims a dark plum interior color option and new exterior paint colors.Driving ItDriving ImpressionsThe 2015 Buick Enclave lives up to its premium SUV image with a quiet and comfortable ride. A long-term test model in our fleet stands out for its easy highway manners. The 3.6-liter V6 and its 288 horsepower offer good but not startling acceleration and passing power. And despite the Buick's size and 4700-pound weight the engine eagerly propels the big vehicle even up steep mountain passes that make lesser cars wheeze. The Enclave is most adept as a comfortable cruiser with a soft ride and an insulated cabin that benefits from Buick's "QuietTuning" sound suppression. Conversely this big Buick isn't one to embrace twisty canyon roads with much enthusiasm. In our time on such switchbacks it was best to go easy on the throttle.Favorite FeaturesINTERIOR VERSATILITY Not only does the Enclave seat up to eight in comfort the ingeniously-designed 2nd-row seats with flip-up cushions and the capability to slide fore-and-aft make it easy to access the 3rd-row seat or to increase the cargo capacity for those trips home from the big-box store. QuietTuning Buicks QuietTuning method of in-vehicle noise reduction may sound like marketing hype but there is actually something to it. At higher speeds the SUV's interior remains delightfully calm and free of the racket that can fatigue occupants on long drives.Vehicle DetailsInteriorStep into the 2015 Buick Enclave and you'll see a handsome front panel with stylized instrument faces and clean integration of the IntelliLink touch-screen display. The display blends hard buttons and touch-based controls the latter of which can be if you'll excuse the pun too touchy especially when you're driving at freeway speeds. Seven-passenger seating is standard across the line with an 8-passenger setup an option in the two higher trims. The former has two captain's chairs in the second row while the latter uses a bench. Legroom is generous even in the third row as is rear cargo space.ExteriorAt nearly 202 inches the Enclave is a large SUV with road presence. Its exterior lines are rounded and handsome overall though not everyone's eyes will favor its hump-like rear. Among the more favorable design cues are Buick's elegant "waterfall" grille in front and big oblong exhaust outlets at rear. Standard roof-mounted luggage racks add a degree of ruggedness with their practicality and an available power moonroof with fixed sunlight for rear passengers helps bring the outdoors inside. One the Enclave's most useful features is its standard power-operated liftgate a real arm-saver.Notable Standard EquipmentIn base form (Convenience) the 2015 Buick Enclave offers a lot for the money. That trim includes tri-zone climate control power front seats a rearview camera with park assist 18-inch wheels high-intensity headlights and an AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with a 6.5-inch touch screen and Buick's Intellilink system to connect smartphones. Mid-trim Leather Group models add you guessed it leather heated front seats and steering wheel and blind-spot monitoring. Top-trim Premium models have heated and cooled front seats 10-speaker Bose audio and a forward-collision warning system. New Buicks also include two years/24000 miles of scheduled maintenance and six years/70000 miles of roadside assistance.Notable Optional EquipmentTraction-enhancing all-wheel drive (AWD) always a utility plus for an SUV can be had on the two higher trims of the 2015 Enclave instead of the standard front-wheel drive (FWD). Other upgrades vary by trim and include a Bose premium sound system with navigation forward-collision and lane-departure warning systems a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones a power moonroof with rear skylight and 19- and 20-inch wheel options.Under the HoodThe 2015 Buick Enclave is powered by a smooth 3.6-liter V6 linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-drive models earn up to 24 mpg while AWD models muster up to 22 mpg. As other SUV competitors become more efficient those figures are no longer that laudable. The Acura MDX is rated up to 28 mpg for FWD or 27 mpg for AWD while the Infiniti QX60 gets 26 (FWD) and 25 mpg (AWD). A diesel-powered Audi Q7 also easily bests the Enclave with a highway rating of 28 mpg. While the Enclave's Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia SUV brothers are rated to tow up to 5200 pounds the Buick is rated at 4500. Unlike some premium gasoline-drinking luxury rivals however the Enclave is happy running on regular unleaded. 3.6-liter V6 288 horsepower at 6300 rpm 270 lb-ft of torque at 3400 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 mpg (FWD) 16/22 mpg (AWD)Pricing NotesThe 2015 Buick Enclave has a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just under $40000 for the base Convenience trim.
