[@josephpayton9151]

I could not wait to see what buick had in store this considering they’ve been doing pretty good with they’re latest products. I find this to be very nice thought the front has grown on me a little bit. Those wheels though with the body colored bottom areas make up for it and those clear tailights, a buick hallmark. Love the way buick did them with the dynamic signals and the way it runs across the entire back. That gives it an elegant look even more than whats on the acadia denali which I really like that. I do wish u can get the rear view camera mirror without the super cruise package because it is pricy package and ik some people probably wont use it but want that feature.

[@josemanuelruiz2036]

That main display is the same one used by Cadillac but upside down! I got you Mary Bara!!!

[@NevadaFederalBites]

This looks like great looking refresh 🔥

[@G-Rated]

I love Buick’s new design language. This is a very luxurious vehicle and what Buick should be, a slight step down from Cadillac but with a huge savings in money. *gm* has knocked the new Buick Enclave out of the ballpark! With all the attention to detail it feels and looks like it should be a $80,000 SUV easily. Love the welcome animations on the Avenir but the interior is certainly my favorite.

[@MercOne]

80K for a SUV with a 4-cylinder? Have you ever sat in a modern GM car? Nothing about this car is worth 80K. Totally detached from reality. Step down from what Cadillac? The XT6 clearly has been surpassed by this. You are all types of confused.

[@G-Rated]

@@MercOne Have _you_ ever sat in a modern *gm* car?? You are the same *gm* troll that seems to be completely detached from reality as far as what *gm* is doing and how far their product quality and tech has improved. You can’t help but follow their product reviews around KZbin with nothing but negative things to say. Apparently a 4 cylinder engine that’s even more powerful than the 6 cylinder it replaces and mated to a much smoother 8-speed automatic transmission means the powertrain wouldn’t be an issue for anyone who previously owned an Enclave or Acadia. This is now a full on luxury SUV with full LED lights w/ animations, real stitched leathers, massaging front seats, a Bose performance audio system, and interior technology you can’t even get from Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, or Genesis. You can’t even get this level of luxury and tech from Mercedes or Audi for the same money. Buick boast a semi-autonomous driving system that’s completely hands/feet free from customer operation, and real authentic woods and metal materials throughout the vehicle. Nobody said anything about the Cadillac XT6 which is 5 years old and has been replaced by the fully electric Cadillac VISTIQ. This Enclave is a clear step down from the all-new VISTIQ. Go take your meds.

[@MercOne]

@@G-Rated People like you continue to prove why GM and Buick suffer so much. You think this cheap plastic play box should cost 80K with a 4-cylinder and you actually think it's full on luxury. Based on what? A nice leather interior? There is nothing more luxurious about this heap than an top of the line Chevy and the Cadillac Vistiq is an EV, so why are you comparing it to that? You're doing it because you know this "Buick" absolutely destroys the other heap it's related to the XT6. You don't seem to understand what a luxury vehicle is as you list features and then talk about how you get them for cheap. What you don't seem to grasp is luxury is not just features it's how the the vehicle comes together and a Buick ain't nothing to be in or drive. Features don't alone make a luxury car and it doesn't matter how much power you get out of moped engine like this it doesn't make a V6 or I6 for refinement/NVH, another point lost on long suffering GM apologists. Every real luxury car has real wood and leather, but I get it that you being a GMer are not used to these things and think that because Buick now has them, that it's some type of revelation. It's just really sad. A modern Buick is a joke which is why the brand is dead to most consumers and their sales reflect that irrelevancy. There is nothing here you can get anywhere else and other vehicles do it better for a little more or around the same money. Buick is a loser brand for people who don't know what a real luxury vehicle is.

[@MercOne]

@@G-Rated Gotta love reading the nonsense from GM apologist that think leather and features are what make a luxury vehicle when every vehicle today has the same features. No clue what luxury is. Yeah a moped engine that makes more power yet sound and feels like shit when you drive it. Yeah that's true luxury for the clueless. There ain't nothing full on luxury about a plastic crap box with a 4-cylinder and a bunch of features slapped on to make it appeal to people shop features per dollar. Lexus, Genesis, BMW, Mercedes Audi all make superior driving vehicles and they don't have to pander on features per dollar because their brands are not irrelevant like Buick. The XT6 is on sale today and that is what this heap is related to, but I get that the XT6 is just such junk that you want to forget it exists. Real authentic woods and customer operation? I can't stop laughing at this nonsense. I mean you can't make up something so laughably stupid.

[@G-Rated]

@@MercOne The engine is not that course you’re being dramatic. Lexus, Genesis, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi will also ALL happily sell you an SUV with a 4-cylinder engine, some of them offer way less in tech, practicality, reliability, and design. Just say you’re *gm’s* #1 hater and leave it.

[@OPC249]

Only GM would refuse to offer bench seating and rear sunshades on a flagship model and provide an overboosted buzzy 4 cylinder with worse mpg than the outgoing v6

[@CarsandTechInfo]

And not include ventilated second row seats in the top trim just like some of its other competitors

[@G-Rated]

@@OPC249 You literally just made that up. The new 4 cylinder is both more powerful and more fuel efficient than the outgoing 3.6L V6. If you actually watch the review and pay attention you’ll realize the rear windows are darkly tinted which eliminates the need for plastic sunshades that break. Window tint doesn’t break, it’s more effective, and easier to maintain. Y’all will literally say ANYTHING to push the narrative that *gm* is always doing something wrong. It’s hilarious actually.

[@randywilliams5042]

The rear doors have a real deep tint, no need for $20 sun shades.

[@G-Rated]

I agree! Sunshades can actually get visibly filthy, and they break with frequent use whether it’s kids constantly pulling on them or adults yanking them during Uber/Lyft rides. They aren’t built to last the life of the warranty that’s for sure whereas *window tint* both last and looks much better longer. I’m glad *gm* hasn’t hopped on the sunshade bandwagon and instead continue to offer deep factor tints in the rear. They’ve even gone to smart glass electric tinting in the new Cadillacs, somebody at *gm* _really_ doesn’t care for sunshades.

​@@entasis.fifty-four So you blame the manufacturer for what a private franchised business failed at?

@@lilred1107 Absolutely, GM approved said franchisee to begin with. Each dealership acts as an agent for GM. It’s another reason I find it hilarious when the finger pointing begins regarding which party is responsible in some case. The dealer will say GM; GM will say the dealer.

Previous Cadillac and Buick owner here. I cannot see any reason to keep the Buick brand. GM just needs the Cadillac and Chevrolet brands and integrate these models into those brands. GM lost me as customer owed to their Ma and Pa Kettle dealerships that need revamping and new owner ship. They did a nice job on this model, but there’s always a problem that the service department can never fix on every GM model I’ve owned (throw Ford into that mix too).
