Best SUV I’ve driven...now own

This ‘professional’ review cons MPG but I just got a easy 28mpg on a 450 mile trip over mountains to NY ... 310hp .. two people with lots of luggage ... I call that pretty good. I got 23 MPG in a rented new RAV4 last year on same trip. When I hear ‘interior materials’ the red flag goes up that screams .. this reviewer doesn’t know what they are talking about ... I want to hear about galvanized body and stainless steel exhaust ... that’s quality... the Buick Enclave has both. My 14 year old Buick still looked and drove like new.... and I got 3 times ‘book value’. The Enclave rides better than the company car BMW X5 by far... smoother and more quiet. Have taken several 500 mile trips in my new 2020 Enclave ... the ride is extremely smooth and quiet ... the 121” wheelbase and 4300lb weight creates a ride no small SUV can come close to.... This is a true road vehicle ....And I’m getting 28mpg on the road! The 310hp V6 is quick... If you want a roomy ... quiet ... smooth riding road car that gets good mpg ... it’s a Enclave.

Luxury at a decent price

VERY quiet ride, loaded with technology that I’m still learning about. I love most every thing about it. I discovered 2 shortcomings that were available in my 2009 Enclave: the shade on the panoramic sunroof over the second row is now manual instead of powered; the front passenger window now does not now have auto up and down. The gear shift is a major departure from what was available in the past. It requires a moderate learning curve. The auto stop feature was active the first couple of days but now does not I’m not complaining, it’s just weird. The adaptive cruise is a blast as well as the lane departure warning and subtle correction. Both features should be standard on all trim levels. I have not tested the other safety features yet. Very satisfied with the car overall. Extremely comfortable and loaded with helpful technology. I’m looking forward to exploring and exploiting the rest of the technology.

Had a 2008 Enclave new. Just bought a 2020 Enclave. Interior items seemed to be diminished somewhat. Rear captains chairs are not as nice. Less standard features this time around. However the engine and transmission is much smoother and better tuned. I got the sport package with 20 inch rims and dark grille. Very nice look and great smooth quiet ride. GM was offering 5 k cash incentive plus other savings. I got it for 10 k off sticker. Could not be happier. 11k miles in and still loving the Enclave. Quiet and smooth ride.

This is my second enclave, the first was damaged by a hit and run driver, I can tell you that this model is a classic road car. If you want smooth, supple, refined, classy, it should be your car. LOVE THIS CAR.

In for repairs more than you'll drive

I have 356 miles on this 2020 Enclave as of today it has been in for repair 5 times. All for 3 codes. Flashes a service park brake light then check engine. Then youll get 3 messages steering assist reduced,engine power reduced, service parking brake. So far they have changed a battery, tightened a cable, replaced accelerator,and still after picking it up the 5th time drove approx 1/4 of a mile and yep all 3 came back again. Seems they can't fix the issue and the vehicle is un drivable.

Superior ride, quiet, smooth, excellent power, high quality interior and exterior. Avenir grill was a much needed improvement from the old straight waterfall. All the room you need as well. I traded in an 2015 Acura RDX. Enclave Avenir is by far better value and gas mileage difference is negligible. I tried out a Kia Telluride and several other like SUVs. I honestly don’t understand the hype of the KIA. I’ll take the Avenir. I constantly hear consumer reports talk about cheap looking interior components on GM products. That is a fabrication in my opinion. I currently also own a Toyota RAV4 as a third vehicle. Neither the Acura nor the Rav 4 have any better interior components or fit and finish. DON’T drink that coolaide!

Transmission

Last year I purchased a new 2020 Buick Enclave Avenir from the dealership. My transmission this September went out and the car only has a little over 13000 miles. It has been over 30 days since it was towed in for repair and I can’t seem to get any updates from the dealership or GM as to when it will be repaired. I originally fell in love with the look of my Enclave and the way it drove. But now I can’t wait to get it fixed so I can trade it. Bottom line…I don’t trust it to not have more issues down the road.

The best description of the ride in the Enclave Avenir is that it glides. Great pickup, excellent braking, easy to understand dash and entertainment center. Luxury appointments all around. It has an abundance of space, heated/cooled seats are comfortable and infinitely adjustable, and the stearing wheel is heated. There is excellent visibility and the abundance of cameras enhance the visibility. The memory seating puts you exactly where you want to be every time. There is also exit assist for the driver's seat. You It is a pleasure to drive.

It is big, quiet, and comfortable. Only negative is the "ideoit stick" transmission lever. Much rather have simple push buttons. It just does everything very well. Gasoline level gage is off by about 2 gallons.
