The Buick Enclave combines the smooth ride and responsive handling of a car with the cargo capability and high seating position of a sport utility vehicle.
The Enclave is available in two trims; CX and XL. Both feature a contemporary design that incorporates trademark styling cues associated with Buicks of the past. Both are available with a front-wheel drive (FWD) or an all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration. The interior features two front bucket seats and two different seating configurations for the second and third row seats accommodating a maximum of eight passengers. A direct injection 3.6-liter V6 engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Enclave offers a luxurious interior with an extensive list of features and amenities.
For 2010, the CXL trim becomes the XL trim and the CX trim now features standard 19" wheels and tires.

The ride is surprisingly dynamic, with little body roll even on some winding, shoulderless rural asphalt. -- Car and Driver
We've been quite impressed by the engine, which is found in a number of other GM vehicles, including both of Buick's sedans. Those two cars, though, won't tow 4500 pounds like the Enclave can. -- Automobile
The Enclave stands out for its quiet ride. There's something to that "Quiet Tuning" marketing speak. The Enclave gets several things at the factory that its intradivisional counterparts don't: an acoustic laminated windshield and front-door side glass, special damping material on the underbody (tar), and triple door seals and engine mounts. You don't have to raise your voice much to be heard by any passenger. -- Motor Trend
