EP. 240: BUICK ENCLAVE IMPRESSES, BUYERS PICK THEIR FAVORITE CAR FEATURES, REBELLE RALLY PREP

EV Channels Review

The Buick Enclave, redesigned for 2025, is presented as a compelling, near-luxury, three-row SUV that offers significant refinement and quietness for its segment. The reviewer highlights the availability of the Super Cruise hands-free driving system across all trims as a major plus, praising its performance even on two-lane highways. While the new turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides adequate power and improved fuel economy over the outgoing V6, the reviewer notes it lacks the smoothness of its predecessor. Minor criticisms include the lack of auto up/down windows for rear passengers and the cheap appearance of the gas and brake pedals. The infotainment system's Apple CarPlay integration is also flagged as feeling 'phoned in' due to awkward screen cutoff and small icons. Despite these points, the Enclave is considered a refined and potentially underappreciated vehicle that could appeal to buyers seeking a more upscale experience than its Chevrolet or GMC counterparts.
