As #Buick continues to try and reinvent their image here in America, buyers can really find themselves somewhat confused if they visit a Buick showroom. On one of the spectrum, you've got a pretty nice sport sedan in the form of the Regal GS, while at the other end, their best-selling model, the #BuickEnclave is every bit a modern interpretation of what you'd expect from Buick. Its cushy ride, relaxed steering, quiet cabin, and bloated proportions make the 2019 #EnclaveAvenir feel like the modern day Buick Roadmaster driven by a much older generation. It loses ground to new entries from Kia, Volkswagen, and Subaru in the luxury department, and its shocking as tested price near $60,000 will make you question its value when modern driver aids are still optional, even on this pricey #Avenir trim level.

Happy Friday everyone! Just wanted to make a slight correction, the Enclave does in fact have LED rear turn signals, which you can see in the video. As nice as this car is, we struggle to find a reason why you'd choose this over the Telluride, Atlas, or upcoming Hyundai Palisade. Even the Chevy Traverse makes more sense, mostly because of the price tag that Buick is asking for this car. It is about $10,000 more expensive than a fully loaded Telluride, Atlas, Ascent, Pilot, Traverse, etc but to us, it didn't really feel like it. We also disliked how even our top trim Enclave Avenir was missing adaptive cruise control and at $57,000, it should be standard. Still a great choice in the segment if you like the design and want something bigger, but we question the value here with so many options to choose from now! Thanks for watching everyone and enjoy your weekend!

I agree with what you said about the font. Each brand needs their specific font style. They also need different dash chimes! No matter which GM brand you choose, the same damn BONG, BONG, BONG. The smallest details can change the overall brand perception. I think Buick and Cadillac with these small details, could start to differentiate themselves a little more from Chevrolet. When you're driving a Buick or Cadillac, you shouldn't feel like you're driving an overpriced Chevrolet.

Center console where the keys are lifts out. You also missed the spot of the console by your feet. That's where the space went and an additional outlet. Buick softness is what it should be, living room on wheels is what they started out as. As for extra options, most folks with BMWs barely use all the buttons and are just happy they have a BMW. Same for this, GM markets and gets away with what people will buy because they are solid GM loyal folks and will not cross shop.

It's frustrating when someone complains REPEATEDLY over and over (center console design, dashboard design, lack of storage) when the complaint is due to lack of actually becoming familiar with the vehicle. He even opens up with an opinion of the first gen Enclave with a negative (professional considering his profession) opinion even though he says he had never reviewed it.

Good review as usual. As someone who was in the market comparing the Enclave, Acadia, and XT5 I have to say that the 3.6 L V6 in the Enclave and Traverse is not basically the same as what's in the XT5 (Acadia or Blazer). The larger vehicles on this platform use the first generation V6 (LFY) @ 3564cc and the smaller three vehicles use the larger V6 (LGX) @ 3649cc which has a larger bore and increased bore spacing. So though they are both nominally 3.6 liters in displacement they are completely different engines. The two engines also produce peak torque at very different RPMs---5000 for the new one versus 2800 for the Enclave/Traverse engine. I found the new 3.6 to be more refined (smoother) than the one in the Enclave. (The Grand Cherokee 3.6 seemed smoother than the LFY 3.6 in the Enclave.) I guess the lower-rpm torque peak in the LFY vs. the LGX is the reason to leave it in the the larger, heavier vehicles.

Good review, young man. The RX350 is hideous looking in its new guise. However, you cannot beat the reliability of Toyota and Lexus. Acura has had some issues with their automatic transmissions over the last 8 to 10 years or so, so I personally steer clear because of that. Also, the RX350 has that ridiculous device that you use to control the center info screen, it's a terrible design and works awfully. I was going to buy a new RX, but After experiencing the total lack of ergonomic prowess of this device, I shook my head and walked away.

My guess is instead of actually checking out pricing there will be another 200 comments saying "OMG, this is so expensive and I would never pay $57k for this!" As if they aren't currently 16% off. This vehicle is probably around $50k. Only slightly more expensive than the smaller loaded Telluride which 30 people have commented on thus far claiming it's a huge value relative to this. If the pricing info isn't going to be represented accurately there is no point in bringing it up. The new explorer is going to costs just as much well equipped. Even a loaded Pilot is nearly 50 grand

Rah L. I believe that’s how you set the distance between you and objects in front. I believe there are 4 levels of distance that you can choose. When you get within the specified distance, you get a warning: a red light flash in the windshield, and the seat rumbles. And to his point about not having massage seats, these seats are more than capable. The rumble is very strong, and can either be on the left or right side, or both. So why not make massage seats an option since you’re half way there??!

Thanks for your review. I always liked your reviews but for the past few you seem to end up confusing me. Specs for cargo volume are 97.6 for the Buick, 96.8 for the VW Atlas and 86.7 for the Kia Telluride. 3rd row leg room specs are 33.7 for the Atlas, 33.5 for the Enclave and 31.4 for the Telluride. You said here that the max cargo for the Buick is about 10 more than the Atlas and Telluride. In your last review of the 3 row comparison you gave the Telluride the win for the 3rd row legroom over the Atlas. Now is there a way for you to have the 3 way comparison with exact equal tests not having one with 2nd row pushed forward while others are pushed all the way back. This would be greatly appreciated as it would give the readers/listeners the right and great information

@theredline 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for catching that, we actually filmed this review about a month before we did the 3-way comparison and forgot that the Atlas had about 10 more cubic feet of space versus the Telluride. So this vehicle and the Atlas are similar which makes sense because they are closer in size while the Kia is a bit smaller. With 3rd row legroom, the numbers may show higher on the Atlas and Enclave, but we found the real world space in the Telluride to feel roomier. Hope that helps to clarify a few things and thank you for watching!

@nvamember 5 жыл бұрын

Redline Reviews thanks for replying. I have sat in all 3 and I am 5:11 to me the Atlas was more comfortable in the 3rd row than others. The seat felt higher. I can say that when I moved the 2nd row forward on all 3 to be comfortable the second row legroom was equal between the Atlas and the Enclave while the telluride felt a bit more cramped. Front row was set to my driving position. Right now overall the Atlas seems to be the winning combo for me. And leaning to get that above the others.

@nvamember 5 жыл бұрын

Just take look at the same review made by TFL Car. They are over 6 feet and the response was that yes they have room but the second row suffers on the Telluride. Those were the same exact cars that you tested. And please can you divulge who made the 3 SUV available for the test comparison.

" In dry conditions, the system is designed to minimize the amount of torque it sends to the rear wheels, which means during full-throttle acceleration, the CX-9 and its 310 lb-ft of torque will chirp the front tires and then proceed to torque-steer, leaving the driver to wrestle with the steering wheel. Considering the AWD control module is monitoring both the accelerator position and steering angle, I feel like the moment the accelerator pedal is depressed fully, power should be moved to the rear to mitigate the effects of all of that torque on the front wheels."

So I'm assuming everything that this vehicle is missing will be standard in the 2020 Cadillac XT6.

@jeffs6090 5 жыл бұрын

That would be nice. However, after seeing the XT6, it looks very much like a little bit nicer Traverse. Unfortunately you'd have to get the highest trim level with all the options to make it better. Then it becomes exponentially pricier to where a similarly equipped MB GLS is the better option.

@@jeffs6090 Wow! That is insane. I feel like GM is doing the same thing to the Traverse as they did with the Trailblazer. Remember you could get it as a GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender, Saab 9-7x and Buick Rainier... and you see that was a flop and they are no longer in production 😆

Good review as always Soyfan. Just looks like most of the SUV's out there and for the price - not worth it compared to it's competition in the segment. GM simply seems to cut and past between name plates and the results don't inspire enthusiasts.

Daniel D. Yeah Dan, that’s scary. There’s just a total lack of imagination at GM. How is that Kia, on its second attempt (if you count the Borrego) got it right with the Telluride? A company not known for large SUV’s. GM is a dinosaur in its thinking. Hopefully that changes sooner than later.

Tellurides are selling for over sticker and this vehicle is selling for 16% off MSRP before counting dealer discounting. How can you not know this (and most American vehicles) do not sell for MSRP? It is truly unbelievable how little research people do. If he told you this cost $80k you would probably take that at face value. He did note $3500 discounts (although not sure where he got that from) so the $57k number is irrelevant.
