2018 Buick Enclave Premium

The 2018 Enclave is Buick's three-row SUV, the one you'd cross-shop with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander if you want a roomier, plusher family hauler. It drives more like a big sedan than a truck-based SUV, with a smooth, steady feel that makes long trips easy. Inside, the Enclave seats up to seven with captain's chairs in the middle row, and the third row actually fits adults. Cargo space is generous even behind the third row, so you can haul a week's worth of luggage for the whole family. Stepping up to the Premium adds leather seating, a power liftgate, and blind-spot monitoring, giving you the conveniences the Essence leaves out. Its 3.6L V6 makes 302 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic, delivering smooth, confident acceleration that never feels strained, even with a full load. The Premium also opens up the available Driver Confidence Plus package, which adds adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking for extra highway ease.
