2018 Buick Enclave Overview

The 2018 Buick Enclave represents a significant redesign for Buick's popular three-row SUV, offering a more upscale and refined experience. This model year marked the introduction of the second generation of the Enclave, boasting a larger footprint, more sophisticated styling, and enhanced technology. It aims to provide a comfortable, spacious, and feature-rich option for families and those seeking a premium midsize SUV.

Highlights

  • Engine: Under the hood, the 2018 Enclave is powered by a robust 3.6L V6 engine. This naturally aspirated powerhouse delivers 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission. This combination provides ample power for confident acceleration and highway cruising, with the transmission's extra gears contributing to improved fuel efficiency.

  • Safety Features: Buick equipped the 2018 Enclave with a comprehensive suite of available advanced safety and driver-assist technologies designed to enhance awareness and prevent collisions:

    • Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects potential frontal collisions and automatically applies the brakes to mitigate or avoid impact.
    • Forward Collision Alert: Warns the driver if it detects a potential frontal collision with another vehicle.
    • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane and alerts the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
    • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert: Monitors blind spots on either side of the vehicle and alerts the driver if a vehicle is detected in their blind spot during a lane change.
    • Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Warns the driver of approaching vehicles when the Enclave is in reverse.
    • StabiliTrak, Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control: Helps maintain control of the vehicle in slippery conditions by automatically applying brakes and reducing engine power.
    • HD Surround Vision: Utilizes multiple cameras to create a bird's-eye view of the area around the vehicle, aiding in parking and maneuvering.
    • Rear Seat Reminder: Alerts the driver to check the rear seats for children or pets before exiting the vehicle, a particularly useful feature for families.
  • Trim Summary: The 2018 Buick Enclave was offered in three distinct trims, each building upon the previous one to offer increasing levels of luxury and features:

    • Essence: The entry-level trim, still generously equipped, featuring comfortable seating, the IntelliLink infotainment system, and a good array of standard safety features.
    • Premium: Stepping up, the Premium trim adds more luxurious touches like perforated leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, and enhanced safety features.
    • Avenir: Positioned as the pinnacle of Buick's luxury offerings, the Avenir trim elevates the Enclave with exclusive styling cues, premium materials throughout the cabin, advanced suspension tuning for a smoother ride, and a more comprehensive list of standard comfort and convenience features.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious Interior: The redesigned 2018 Enclave offers a more generous interior space than its predecessor, with a comfortable seating for up to seven passengers. Third-row seating is more accommodating for adults than in many competitors.
    • Cargo Capacity: It boasts impressive cargo volume behind the first, second, and third rows, making it a practical choice for hauling groceries, luggage, or gear.
    • Refined Ride and Handling: Buick focused on delivering a quiet and comfortable ride, with a well-tuned suspension that effectively absorbs road imperfections. The steering is precise and predictable, contributing to a confident driving experience.
    • Buick IntelliLink Infotainment System: The user-friendly infotainment system features a touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and available navigation.

What to Expect

Ownership of a 2018 Buick Enclave typically involves a comfortable and refined driving experience. The cabin is exceptionally quiet, thanks to Buick's focus on noise-dampening technology, making it an ideal vehicle for long road trips and daily commutes. The plush seating and smooth ride contribute to a luxurious feel.

Maintenance: Like most modern SUVs, the Enclave will require routine maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks according to the owner's manual schedule. Buick generally offers reasonable maintenance costs, but as with any premium vehicle, parts and specialized service can be more expensive than for mainstream brands. Regular servicing at a qualified dealership or trusted mechanic will help ensure longevity and optimal performance.

Insurance: Insurance premiums for the 2018 Buick Enclave will vary based on factors like your driving record, location, chosen coverage levels, and the specific trim you select. Given its safety features and premium positioning, it may fall into a slightly higher insurance bracket compared to more basic SUVs. It's always recommended to get personalized quotes from multiple insurance providers.

Potential Considerations

  • Fuel Economy: While the 9-speed automatic transmission and V6 engine offer good power, the Enclave's larger size and weight mean that fuel economy is not its strongest suit. Drivers looking for the absolute best MPG from a midsize SUV might find it slightly less efficient than some of its competitors, particularly in city driving.
  • Infotainment System Responsiveness: While the IntelliLink system is generally user-friendly, some owners have reported occasional lag or slow response times from the touchscreen, especially when performing complex tasks or switching between menus.
  • Third-Row Access for Younger Children: While more accommodating than its predecessor, the third-row access, as with many SUVs of this class, can still be a bit tight for very young children to buckle themselves in without assistance.
  • Limited Off-Road Capability: The Enclave is primarily designed for on-road comfort and capability. While it can handle light unpaved roads or slippery conditions with its available all-wheel-drive system, it is not intended for serious off-road adventures.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Buick Enclave stands out as a compelling choice in the three-row SUV segment, offering a refined, spacious, and well-appointed cabin with a comfortable ride and a good array of modern safety features. Its V6 engine provides ample power, and the redesign brought a more substantial and upscale presence. While fuel economy and occasional infotainment lag are minor considerations, the Enclave delivers a strong package for families and individuals seeking a premium and practical SUV experience.
