[@jacobseitz6224]

In my opinion this is the best looking of the gm siblings. between the enclave, the Acadia, and the traverse i would definitely choose the Buick. The interior is beautiful. Thanks for the great video Roman and TFL.

Not for the Lease Price. ridiculous

I never thought i would be searching on KZbin for the new lineup of Buick Cars i am liking so far what i am seeing

Beautiful car! I love the interior color. I wish more manufacturers would offer such an interior instead of just black.

Im not a big fan of the new trend of big screens for gauge cluster. That white carpet wont stay white for long lol. Im no GM fan but gotta admit it looks really nice

Sharp looking vehicle Buick!

[@rromancunard]

Beautiful and elegant the Buick Enclave.

[@hhjones9393]

Thanks Roman! I have the last of the big Acadias, sold as the Limited in 2017 alongside the downsized Acadia. I was very happy to see this platform size return to the lineup. There really was a big hole between the seemingly limitless different models of small GM wagons and the Tahoe/Yukon. This was always a popular size wagon and I will never understand why they dropped it. But the good news today is that they are back!

This car is seriously impressive

[@h115oscilator]

It looks really good, GM has really stepped up their interior game. However, it's a shame that they can't get their electronics better sorted. On top of that, I've been hearing those 8spd trans are having issues

[@davidd1692]

How you get brown interior, not an option on website

[@GRAFHC]

I'm as impressed by this as I was by the Telluride when it first came out... I was so impressed then by the Kia I bought one of the first ones on the lot. This same situation might repeat itself with this car. Good work GM.

[@HALWG51]

I have the 2024 Traverse Z71, which I really like, but this takes the platform to the next level. The light interior is fantastic. I wish Chevy would have a light tan and light gray interior option. Of course this Buick is about $12,000 more expensive than my Chevy.

[@vicarod]

What's interesting is that you cannot build this car on the buick website with that color interior. Only white / blue. No white / brown. Wonder if they gave you a pre-production model?

[@MikeV-t7o]

Great review as always Gorgeous interior Nice 👍 tail lights like a Lincoln Buick Reliability Love it

[@jeffjob6995]

Nice looking suv but I'm still fuzzy on the drop from 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder with a turbo.

[@Hazdazos]

Good looking exterior and gorgeous interior. GM's newest vehicles are the tops in their class.

[@Natethegreat200c]

DEFINITELY! And the ride quality is chefs kiss !

[@angelscarreviews6094]

Did Buick just add Spotify after the enclave came out for 2025? Looks like you can play some songs and listen to music, looks identical to the Envision.

[@joseprprprpr]

I think it’s a great option!

[@alphasports3743]

Made in America the 2025 Buick Enclave, starts at $45,000, although its an American car the parts come from Canada, China, Germany, and South Korea so it assembled in America which means you could pay with tariffs $56,000 based on the new calculations, the US will charge the Canada 25% more, other countries 22% and China 10%. If you are planning to buy a 2025 Buick Enclave depending of where the parts come form you will pay close to $50K.

[@ChesterSm-ge1hb]

@alpha, you neglected to mention the Union in your rant..

[@Froggy1000]

That car is beautiful looking.

[@rudfil]

Nice looking vehicle, I’m sure my grandfather will love it.

[@Tom-ej8bb]

I'de like to see GM set the Bar on having Transmissions lasting over 100k!

[@Inferno45]

Dont drive like an idiot and change the trans oil every 30k miles. Every car eventually has transmission problems. My mom’s 2009 Honda pilot was slipping because we never changed the oil. After service it ran like new.

[@hhjones9393]

I have to agree. I have had 2 wagons with that god awful 6 speed. Neither made it out of warranty without repair. And it's not lack of maintenance or driving it too hard. It's just a crappy transmission. Hopefully this 8 speed is better.

$60K for a Buick is bonkers.

[@trashyspeeds266]

Better then 90k for a fckn jeep wrangler

[@asotomayor]

I thought the same until I got in one. I had already bought the Honda Pilot but damn this immediately came to 2nd place. Made me seriously consider getting a North American car next.

[@jd5179]

Its the inflation - bought 2010 enclave for $43k in 2010 - when you adjust the inflation it cost $63k in 2024 - reason we felt the increase because cost of living never caught up .

[@NotXion]

@@asotomayor I love the cars and they're very nice and comfortable, but the dashboards are built very cheaply. A lot of parts in this car don't fit so theres a lot of gaps. I do think its a nice car, though.

[@Chris-v4z]

And with a 4 cylinder turbo by GM. Insane. Let them rott on Dealer lots!

[@JDMEXforme]

Looks like a hyundai with those Squinting headlights and a highlander and Rav4 with the grill . Most cars today look all alike.

[@adammorris7172]

I just saw a video by Doug Demuro that he thinks that in the next 5 years or so, that Buick will disappear from the US. He said sales are down, but around where I live, I see Buicks everywhere. I don't think I agree with him.

[@teyoung304]

If you look at GM’s sales recently, Buick has gone up quite bit. A lot of them is specifically their new Envista. Bc it is well equipped, and attractive and starts around $21,000-$22,000.

[@dorrito]

Yea, he may have been right, but these new ones are turning heads. Great features, family friendly, and look good. If they add hybrid they will gain even more traction. Only with there were more manual controls.

[@kaeanf7525]

Buick is on the up climb in America again I say we support America’s oldest car manufacturer

[@trentonevans8835]

I don’t like the fact they do not have the wooden material around the doors and on the steering wheel. I feel like it made the car more luxury. But nice car👍

I love the new look but I hate small engines... The 3.6 was fine, but a four cylinder will a turbo no way... Small engines give up faster than a large especially with a turbo for it's too heavy... It's like putting a 6.7 diesel on a semi truck... Damn I'm not happy but the exterior and interior is amazing!

[@erickthefantabulous1]

She's gorgeous. I just had to see a review, but i'm still brainwashed to think american cars can't compete with the reliability of perhaps a Toyota, Honda, etc. Haven't had an American car in Twenty years but the Buick styling makes me want to get a Buick.

[@FM-gv7sb]

[@hanbury22]

Why have I always been lied to that Buick is American when in actuality is European? My late grandma loved her Buick for how smooth the ride

[@bk27117]

Because it began in Detroit....so it is American

[@Carfan678]

Its closer to being Chinese then european 😂 China is Buicks biggest market. Buick about 8-10 years ago sold 2 models that were rebadged opels but none of their new models are based on anything european. The early to mid 2010s was a weird time for buick

[@rtcturnemup7028]

Dude said European 😂 you must think Lincoln is more korean than American

[@JG3inTX]

The only recent Opal in Buick’s was the Regal, which died in ‘20. The Enclave is is built in Lansing. The Chinese Buick offered in the US is the Envision, built in Shanghai (which the salesmen do not disclose…some don’t even know themselves).

[@svpracer98]

Buick only really exists for the Chinese market, and even then, they get the GL8 Minivan that has been refreshed for multiple generations now... That being said, I like this interior over the rather hideous Acadia's and the exterior styling looks way better than the Traverse's.

[@atmartens]

All brands in China haven’t been doing as well. But agreed that Buick was kept for the Chinese market.

[@Natethegreat200c]

It exist for every market it’s in. We love Buicks as well. Lately I’ve asked Buick owners how they like their car and they LOVE THEM. talk to Buick owners yourself and you’ll too see. It’s not just the Chinese. And I do not own a Buick.

Buick was 2nd only to Cadillac pre 1977. They were considered superior to Lincoln and Imperial at least here in the south. As a matter of fact Buick was often chosen over Cadillac by wealthy people as Cadillac was considered to be obnoxious and only driven by people with first generation success.

[@ovp66223]

300 HP 4 cylinder...that should age well (eyes rolling). Waiting for GM to buiild something...anything...that is mildly reliable. The few family members I know that have a GM product are constantly going to service center. GM has been building transmissions for 100 years and still appear to be in novice mode. The transmissions suck. Slipping...missing...making worrisome noises. I guess they just need another 100 years to get the bugs worked out? Garbage.

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

Put it on the rollers. Where is Tommy?

[@Evan_Land]

CarPlay in a new GM product?!? Hopefully, this means GM is changing their stance.

[@atmartens]

The thing about Buick is that it has a lot of nice features but what does the brand represent? Why not get the GMC version? Secondly, American brands can’t sell these without a discount. This really isn’t a 60K suv. But when you go to a dealer and they offer $5-15K off, you’re inclined because it’s a deal. Same with Jeep, Ram, Lincoln or Ford. Lastly, SUVs like this are only as good as the lower end models. A Chevy version is 30K, so the next 30K worth of options isn’t really worth 30K. I seriously doubt any of that extra money went towards a better engine or better driving parts. Just my thoughts. For 60K, I’m going high end Pilot or MDX.

[@EvanBtechman]

That's a gorgeous SUV. Too bad its got the white interior. If we didn't have kids anymore, I'd totally get that. It's super nice. But alas. They'd absolutely wreck that thing.
