The ST package features a unique Sport grille with body-color surround and 20-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with contrasting Satin Graphite pockets and is available on the Enclave Essence trim level. With upgrades for 2016, it helps make it a bit friendlier, and it seems like it’s just as popular as we wait for what’s coming in the next Enclave.Buick's flagship seven-passenger SUV features style and technology highlighted by a Sport Touring package - a bold style that radiates confidence. The 2016 Buick Enclave crossover has the space of a larger vehicle, yet is still easy enough to drive and park. Fuel economy for the 186 miles I drove was 16.7 mpg, not the 18 mpg of mixed driving on the sticker, but you do use regular gas. It tries to get to the higher gear quicker though a modern transmission with more gears and could help with fuel economy. I wanted a few more ponies when it was fully loaded with people and cargo. There is only one engine, a 3.6L V6, and it does a decent job. It doesn’t carve corners or snap your neck with quick acceleration, but it provides good all-day driving comfort. For a big crossover, the cabin is hushed and the ride is good. The side and rear view aren’t the most exciting-looking on the market but overall it looks smaller than it really is.Ī Buick should have a quiet and smooth ride, and the Enclave doesn’t disappoint.

The second row has two captain’s chairs, which makes access to the third row much easier with two car seats. The Enclave probably has the most in the midsize crossover class. The seats are comfortable, and are heated and cooled. The leather seems like a higher quality, and the dash materials are also an improvement. The interior is a step up from the Chevrolet version. My wife has the Chevrolet version of this crossover, so I was interested to see whether the loaded, $53,835 Enclave AWD Premium was worth the extra coin. Yet the Buick Enclave seems to be a popular alternative to larger luxury SUVs and other expensive midsize luxury crossovers. GMC and Chevrolet sell their own versions, too.
