Not all of Buick’s SUVs experienced sales increases. Sales were down by 5.1% for the Buick Enclave last month, although this is partially due to drivers holding out until the brand-new 2018 model of the Enclave debuts.
Meanwhile, in a market where sedans, especially larger ones, are struggling, the Buick LaCrosse attained major sales growth in June. LaCrosse sales were up 45%, with a total of 2,157 LaCrosse vehicles sold.
