This particular Buick is featured in White Frost exterior with the Chestnut Leather interior. It is the Buick Enclave Avenir model with three packages included: Technology, Premium Suspension/Tailgate Tow and Accessory. This Luxury SUV can fit between 5 and 7 passengers.
*I have been told by the dealership we purchased this vehicle from that there is NO DIFFERENCE between the 2018 and 2019 Buick Enclave Avenir, so this Review is for both!

I just bought a 2017 and it is a dream. It is the last year before they got the big overhaul in 2018. Only 26,000 K's on it. I can only imagine how great this one is. I did test drive one and it was white as well. So nice. A real dream. Theres tons of room. These vehicles are well designed and thought out. I had a 1989 Blazer by GM and the Enclave's put them to shame. You have the whole world in your vehicle. Sirrus Radio, Wifi, Handsfree radio, Hands Free phone, and more options then you can believe.

I just wanted to say that this was a great video and it actually helped us decide on getting a new Buick Enclave. We have just recently started our car shopping just a couple weeks ago. We started to look at the pick up trucks because my dad wants the cargo space and wanted to be able to tow things. But then just a week ago we came to realization that given with the size of our garage that a pick up truck just would not fit. So we decided to move on to the large SUV. And then there was the new Enclave. This past weekend we took a test drive in the Enclave and we really liked everything about it. I, myself was thoroughly surprised with it. Back in 2009 we looked at the Enclave but were turned off by how the engine wasn’t smooth when it shifted gears and the dealer that we were at just wouldn’t negotiate with us. So we eventually went with the Acura MDX. I enjoyed how y’all explained everything about the car. Especially about the adaptive cruise control and infotainment center. I also liked how you explain everything about the leather and furnishings inside the car because it did really look luxurious. I just wanted to say thank for this helpful video. This helped me really understand what everything was and what everything did. I just wish y’all had the rear infotainment screens with the DVD player so I could see how that looks but it’s all okay 😊😅

Our kids go to the same school and I would pass you everyday in your Volvo. It was so pretty I wanted one. I was in a mini van lol. I went down to buy a Volvo. It was used and I just couldn’t do it. I ended up with a 2018 Chevy traverse RS. I love it! Very similar to yours but it’s not a top model so I don’t have the lane keep or the adaptive cruise control but I do have the 360 camera and the rear view camera. And girl I don’t know how y’all drive with that thing on. It makes me sick! Beautiful car you have there. It really is perfect with 3 kids. I have a baby jogger stroller and I have to pop off the back wheel to make it fit. Maybe I should look into the one you have. But we just found out we are having number 4. Sometimes I wish I would have kept my van. But we will make it work. I love my car.

Lovely car and good video, but with the auto shut off feature when you come to a stop at a light, it's a dealbreaker. I have driven several GM cars with this feature that ended up getting a check engine light prematurely. If GM made it optional to disable the auto shut off feature such as Ford and other foreign vehicles, I would certainly buy an Enclave or LaCrosse today.

Hi! Omgosh yes! This car has been amazing and we LOVE it 🙌🏻 The carseat protectors we have can be found here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00B7M7BKW/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_mw We have used them for years and they’ve been great!

Its funny that my uncle kept saying "No Buicks, Only Germans know true Luxury". I showed him this vehicle and he said Gorgeous, and would not get out of it. He is a die hard Mercedes fan. I'm waiting for a Regal Voltec Avenir. That would be my ideal car.

Your Baby is very cute :). Brings back memories when my brother was a baby and I sat next to him. I like the Regal Avenir. I just wish it was available as a relatively spacious plug in Hybrid. I would like something the size of a regal that gives me the gas mileage of a prius. It's $3.15 for regular here, and I don't want something thirsty. The regal in china does sell as a hybrid, and uses American batteries. But, it's not available in the US in that configuration. That's kinda why I'm turning my head towards the Volt, although the back seat will be very uncomfortable when I need to ferry my friends around (we are all close to 6').

We are a family of 5 and I have been trying to decide between the XC90 and the Avenir. I love the XC90 look and features but and thinking if we have another child may quickly run out of space. But am keeping in mind my husband has a GMC Arcadia which also accommodates 7 passengers! I watched your XC90 review which was great. Did you experience issues with the XC90? What made you switch cars?

@kateschwanke 6 жыл бұрын

Hi! The XC90 was a GREAT car and I loved it! We had no issues with it. The only reason I traded the XC90 for the Enclave Avenir is because our Volvo dealer was an hour and a half away, and that was just way too far! Since purchasing this car, I have not missed my XC90. I love this car even more!

I don't own either but I know people who do and I would go with Enclave, better looking inside and out, much more interior space, more family friendly, better infotainment system all for a better price!!!

I currently own a 2012 Buick enclave with 201,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new and have loved it. It has served my family well. My only complaint is Buicks horrible customer service for maintenance. They are very rude and unprofessional. I owned a Lexus RX prior to the Enclave. Lexus treats there customers well. I suggest anyone looking to buy a Buick looks at the reviews of their dealers maintenance and service center.

I think it really depends on where you go! Every dealership is different. When we had our Volvo XC90, we LOVED it....but the customer service at our Volvo was AWFUL and about an 1.5 hour drive to get there on top of it. The Buick dealership we’re at now is awesome!

I was ready buy one (2018 Avenir) but the seat vibrators are two metal rods that run right under the seatpan side bolsters and they dig into your thigh. So ended up getting an Essence which doesn't have the seat vibrators.

I’m not quite sure what these seat vibrators are that you’ve mentioned here 🤔 I’ve been driving this vehicle for the past 2.5 years and it’s been very comfortable for me.
