2023 Buick Enclave Avenir: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@lynnharr1277]

Absolutely beautiful! IMO the interior aesthetics are gorgeous with the quilted and piped seats, covered cup holders, unobtrusive screen, and curved front dash features. It’s about 9K overpriced, though….It’s a Buick!

[@robertrice6583]

If your concerned about the price than it's too much for you! I bought one over the phone! Had it over a year! Love it! An yes it's a little pricey for the average person! Put I can afford it! Enjoy your Buick Enclave Avenir AWD fully equipped ride! Only a few can own one!

My 23 Avenir has over 50 improvements over my old 13&15 Premium Enclaves. When you driven a 13 for 125,000 miles and a 15 -185,000 miles you get real world experience with issues and are able to compare differences vs opinions from those who have never owned and driven 3 Enclaves. I’ve owned 35 cars from all 3 big 3 companies plus Toyota driver tons of miles on lots of cars. The Avenir is by far the best overall for quality, driving, safety, etc. when you compare my 25 to the 23 , big positive changes that increased the retail price. If you can afford it, it’s worth the price.

I'd buy the Enclave before the cadillac XT6. The Avinir in my opinion just feels better and looks better. Yes, the XT6 has more gidgets and gadgets. However, the Avinir Enclave just has that look that makes you wanna touch it. 😉

We bought our Enclave Avenir in December. I haven't owned a domestic vehicle in 15 years. I have to say it does everything better than our 2021 Lexus RX350 except for the seat adjustments on the driver door. The Lexus you press and go, the Buick you have to press and hold until your setting is reached. Also, we sat in a bunch of vehicles including the Yukon because I wanted to look at a bunch of different SUVs and the lateral space (where my knees touch on each side) in the Enclave is about 1/4" less than the space in the Yukon. There is a ton of room in this vehicle.

I own a 2022 Avenir. You can use settings to program the seat so that it automatically goes to your preset settings (without having to press any button) when you turn on the car. (It will know which of the 2 key fobs is closest to the driver's seat.)

[@mariannalacrosse2886]

This vehicle is beautiful just like the others . I would lease any of them . I will be new to leasing this year buying or aka financing to own is just too damn much Buick Toyota and Lincoln etc. subs are getting ridiculous in price but the safety features cameras and other tech are worth it . Thanks for sharing ..

This is a good review I will be subscribing to you and following you for more reviews on vehicles you do a great job thanks a lot

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

One day......... I am going to buy this beauty.

[@timmach05]

It's nice and the exterior is unique, but $61,000, no, looks befitting of $48-50k. It Is not even AWD. I can't imagine spending over $50k for a Buick period. But it's nice.

[@bmshaven]

These GM 3.6's do feel stronger than expected down low, most likely due to throttle calibration. The Enclave also hits peak torque lower than the typical 5000K rpm or so, and that could be the reason that it feels strong in lower rpms, or at least stronger than you would expect a NA V6 to feel.

[@terryroseberry9034]

I think it’s due to the lower gears for initial acceleration from the 9 speed vs the 6 speed, my old 13&15 did 0-60 in 7.8 new Avenir 6.5 only difference is the 9 speed transmission

[@sofadviolator]

Good til you blow a timing chain.

[@lilred1107]

People are complaining about the price yet, everything in this class is priced the same... yes there could be nicer finishes however this is why cars get refreshed.

[@julianchavez5889]

Very nice ,I agree with you on the less expensive suv, with everything it comes with...both beautiful suv's.

[@frankmcinturff7220]

Great video and honest appraisal. Good job.

[@mgrella63]

This is my Dream Car!! Just Beautiful! Wow!! Someday!

[@Asouthernrrose]

Beautiful, but having a hard time with prices. For 60 + looking at other brands.

[@xvalue]

What about the trunk?

[@scottdavis_34]

This looks like a really nice Buick. I feel like Buick has an identity crisis right now. They are very popular overseas (mainly China) but are more of an afterthought here in the US. I read their sales were really down here. I hope they don’t go the way of Pontiac or Oldsmobile.

[@WTFCRLT1]

I think GM has always had the problem with offering the illusion of choice. Always with several vehicles under the same platform across all of their companies which kinda results with them competing against themselves sometimes. In a market where mid size 3 row SUVs are killing it, does gm really need to sell the Traverse, Enclave, Acadia, AND The XT6? I’m not sure if Buicks going anywhere any time soon, but I don’t think offering essentially rebadged versions of Chevy SUVs is the best way to complete against other top sellers in the segment. It’s a beautiful suv nevertheless but there are just too many to choose from especially with the Cadillac XT6 sharing the same price point🤷🏻‍♂️

My very first Buick SUV!! Great review bro.

[@JimAllder11]

Good review. Thanks, man.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks for watching!

[@speederz1]

61 grand...I would buy a Tahoe

[@mikewest6569]

Only 15k overpriced.

[@randallhammettDC]

Excellent car

[@ph00ny1]

I don't know about a 61k buick. Some of the electronics is showing its age taking the same corporate offering from many years ago (HUD, infotainment screen, instrument cluster, etc.). I said the same about the XT6 (Literally took most of the XT5 interior bits and transferred over to a new vehicle)

[@tjleland2670]

Lot of people don't know but general motors the first one that came out with the heads-up display the Buick Park avenues had heads up display in Pontiac was one of the first ones back in 98 so this technology here is nothing new

[@WTFCRLT1]

Yup gm was the first! Thanks for the info 👍🏼

[@Oliee7]

Can you do a review on a gr86 2022.

[@WTFCRLT1]

I’ll keep my eyes open for one but I’ll probably do a 2023 if I do one!

[@JontaeFischiettie]

Your doing 54 mph in a 45 work zone. This video should be used to issue you a ticket. Nice job on the video, I strongly suggest you pick another area to to a road test, and not a posted work site.

[@d.porter3142]

Too bad they don't offer the dual-clutch AWD system anymore. It was the best AWD system available and could send power to a single wheel. Now it just has a typical system which simply sends power to the slipping wheels and therefore doesn't actually do anything to get you moving.

[@LarsLawson]

Nice car. but the gauges look like they came out of a 25 year old car. Very disappointing,

[@blindtomdiy5918]

Did I hear 38 miles per gallon?

[@ron7195]

I like the car but it's not too cheap we're going over 50 Grand here now cuz everything's getting ridiculous with its inflation and everything I'm trying to be a wise car buyer Acadiana if they keep throwing in all these different charges undercoating maintenance charge delivery charge charge to be charged it's just ridiculous now you got a car starting off at 518 about 61,000 trade-in or no trading I got a 21 year old car would not even 60,000 Mi on it looks like brand new sits in the garage all the time top of the line maximum but I'm not going to give it away either

[@damionreid7215]

Every time he says the name of the city I get immature smh lol

61k for a fwd SUV!!??? Yeah NO
