The 2012 Buick Enclave - Highlights

 

 

           

 

Strength and Character.

 

Powerful, smooth and remarkably efficient, the high-tech 3.6L V6 engine nestled under Enclave’s stylish hood sets the tone for the entire vehicle. Enclave marries capability and sophistication, practicality and luxury, traditional virtues – like quality and craftsmanship – and the latest in technology. The result is a remarkably versatile and uniquely satisfying luxury crossover.

 

Driving Delight

 

Ease into Enclave's driver's seat and you'll find yourself in a world of luxury. Up-to-the-second standard and available amenities like a Driver Information Centre, Bluetooth® hands-free phone connectivity, a DVD Navigation System* and a rear vision camera add to your sense of confidence and control. Add in more power than 2011 Volvo XC90, Mazda CX-9 and Lexus RX350** plus the responsive handling of an advanced chassis and you have something exceedingly rare: a luxury crossover vehicle that you'll love to drive.

 

The Intersection of Luxury and Utility

 

Inside Enclave, you'll find room and comfort for as many as eight passengers - more than the 2011 Mazda CX-9, Lexus RX350, Volvo XC90 or Audi Q7.** The seats - available with sumptuous silk-infused leather seating surfaces in the first 2 rows - are the product of 1,400 hours of evaluation and fine-tuning to ensure just the right balance of comfort and support. Enclave handles cargo as gracefully as it does passengers, too. The 2nd- and 3rd-row seats fold flat with ease to accommodate a massive 3,265 litres of gear. That's almost a thousand litres more than the RX350 and more than 400 L more than the CX-9.**

 

A Hushed Haven in a Noisy World

 

Enclave's much-praised whisper-quiet ride is no accident. Buick's exclusive QuietTuning® process uses a range of techniques to reduce, block and absorb unwanted sounds before they can intrude into the cabin. Triple door seals, acoustic windshield glass and flat-blade windshield wipers are just a few of the features that contribute to the peace and quiet you enjoy inside Enclave. Even the tread pattern of the tires has been carefully selected to help reduce road noise..

 

Breathe Easy

 

When it comes to safety, Enclave comes with a full range of high-tech features - including 6 standard airbags and a StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system - plus some very impressive credentials. The 2012 Enclave scored the highest possible overall rating in the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's new, more stringent vehicle safety and crash test program - 5 stars. †
