It’s always interesting to see what updates and changes vehicles come out with when the makers come out with a new generation.
Today, we are looking at the 2018 Buick Enclave and the best changes that have been made. Below we will look at the all-new exterior design, the new interior look and feel and the Avenir trim.
Let’s check it out!
All-New Exterior Design
Sometimes vehicles don’t change much from generation to generation. That is not the case with the All-New 2018 Buick Enclave. This vehicle has significantly changed the exterior design of the Enclave. This vehicle is, at first glance, unrecognizable compared to the previous generation.
So where have all the changes fit in? Well, to start out with, a big change is the front of the vehicle. The front of this vehicle features an all-new elegant grille. The grille is taken from the Buick LaCrosse and it features vertical slats and the Buick emblem with horizontal wings coming from it. Both the headlights and taillights have been given a slimmer look. The headlights are winged LED headlamps that give the Enclave a more dramatic look.
The entire body of the vehicle also has a different look and feel. It has a more square-shaped body that gives it a slimmer and more athletic feel. The whole of the vehicle looks smoother and less bulky than the previous generation.
New Interior Look and Feel
Comfort is a priority in the new Buick Enclave. This vehicle has standard heated and ventilated front seats as well as heated second-row seats. This generation has also added QuietTuning and active noise-cancellation tricks to give you a much more quiet and peaceful ride.
The interior also features a new frameless 8-inch infotainment screen. This shows that Buick was ready and willing to take a step up from the old, more bulky system. Other technology features in the new Enclave are tri-zone auto climate control, six USB ports and a keyless entry with push-button start.
As for storage space, this vehicle has a 10-inch deep underfloor storage space to give you more rear cargo space. This brings the 2018 Enclave up to 23.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row.
Introducing the Avenir Trim
Did you think that Buick was luxurious before? Well, they have stepped up their game. Buick is adding Avenir Trim which is said to be the “highest expression of Buick luxury.” What does this entail? Let’s check it out.
The new Avenir Trim is impressive for many reasons. On the exterior, this vehicle will have exclusive badging, a new three-dimensional mesh grille and pearl nickel 20-inch aluminum wheels. The interior of this vehicle will have even more luxury with embroidered front headrests, upholstery contrast stitching and more.
This top-of-the-line trim will also give you an even better performance. It features a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission with start/stop technology. This engine gives you 302-horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
The 2018 Buick Enclave has taken a definite step up with their new generation. They significantly changed the exterior design, added more comfort and technology and also introduced the Avenir trim. Buick was serious about making some improvements for the 2018 Enclave, so it is definitely a vehicle you should keep on your list.
