2010 Buick Enclave: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Buick Enclave should see no major changes. This eight-passenger SUV is a crossover that shares its basic design with the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook. Enclave should come in CX and CXL trims. It should remain available with a 288-hp 3.6-liter V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity should be 4500 lb. Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive should remain available. Seven-passenger seating with 2nd-row bucket seats and a 3rd-row bench should remain standard. A 2nd-row, three-person bench should be optional. General Motors' Smart Slide 2nd-row seats have flip-forward bottom cushions and sliding backrests. They're designed to allow easier access to the 3rd row and should remain standard. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows, and front side airbags. Bi-xenon headlamps will likely remain standard. A DVD entertainment system will likely remain available, along with a navigation system with real-time traffic updates and a wireless cell phone link, heated and cooled front seats, and a 110-volt inverter that should be included with all entertainment packages. A rearview camera should be available with the Driver Confidence package--even on those vehicles without a navigation system. This report is based on evaluations of the 2009 Buick Enclave.
