I was an up on the last body style. This one seems rather generic compared to that one. Way too many incandescent exterior lights, no fog lights(!), and an obscenely small rear wiper, to name 3. The video is very well presented with extreme detail, as usual. Good job, guys.

Really nice review. It’s just kind of shocking for a vehicle that you stated it is about $60,000 that it doesn’t come with the rain sensing wipers and you have to manually open the sunshades on the roof they actually snapped back sounding really cheap I think Buick needs to rethink that for that price.

I love Buick as a good tweener brand; however, I still dislike how GM packages options. I really wish safety systems were standard across the board since this is at times more expensive than the MDX which does include those safety systems on every model. GM makes good vehicles, no doubt, but the value proposition isn’t as good as the Acura, Lexus, and Audi options

That didn't look at all like a "flat folding floor" to me! Does the second row flip forward?? IDK why ppl dislike the Lincoln MKT when it beats the heck out of all the Buick features for a lot less money??!! This has NOTHING over my old Lincoln!!!! Mines a 13 and it has WAY more features that make it FAR superior to this. I thought maybe replacing mine with an Enclave but after watching this... NO WAY!

@d.porter3142 5 жыл бұрын

Both the second and third row fold flat, it just wasn't done properly in the video. The MKT has some features that the Enclave doesn't, but the Enclave has more passenger space, more cargo space, gets better gas mileage, has a driver-selectable twin clutch AWD system, can carry more interior weight, and can tow more.

@ginociarlante815 3 жыл бұрын

Both roads in the back full fly and has the largest square feet I believe it's 97 it can fit much more than the MDX those cars do ride similar they have the same exact transmission general motors and Ford went in together with the transmission and they have a shop in Mexico that they produce just transmission the same as the Ford explorer not the new one that was a new Ford explorer is rear wheel drive and is having many many problems with it

This is far from anybody’s “average truck.” It’s a very refined capacious luxury car that has over 97 cubic feet of enclosed cargo space, good towing capability, full 7 passenger room, and amazing surround / rear / front cameras and an awesome sound system. (Actually Watch this video review next time.) The 2020 Enclave Avenir is even better, and nobody needs to pay $60k.
