Buick unveils the second generation of the Enclave
- Buick unveiled the second generation Enclave SUV which is the largest model of the brand in the United States. The first generation was launched in 2007 and restyled in 2013. It shared its platform with that of the GMC Acadia (launched in 2006) and Chevrolet Traverse (launched in 2008). These were replaced in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and it is the turn of the Buick Enclave to be replaced, using the new 130 kg lighter platform also used by the GMC and Chevrolet models.
- In the Buick range, the new SUV Enclave will be located above the SUV Encore (4.28m) and Envision (4.67m). Unlike the Envision model (produced in China), the Enclave will continue to be manufactured in the United States on the same site as previously (Lansing - Michigan), which is also the site of the Chevrolet Traverse.
- While the Chevrolet Traverse is planned for 130,000 units per year and the Acadia GMC at 110,000 units per year, the more expensive Buick Enclave should not exceed 80,000 units per year, according to Inovev.
- The new Buick Enclave will feature the most powerful engines of the Traverse-Acadia-Enclave trio as it will eschew the 2.0-litre petrol and 2.5-litre petrol engines with 194hp, to adopt the V6 3.0-liter bi-turbo petrol and 3.6 liters petrol with 310hp.
