What’s New for the 2018 Buick Enclave?

The Buick Enclave was entirely redesigned for the 2018 model year, including the addition of the range-topping Avenir model. The exterior received an adjustment from last year’s model, giving the Enclave a stronger, more athletic stance, as well as lowering the roof line for a sharper windshield angle. The vehicle was expanded, increasing the overall interior space by 10 percent. Drivers can also enjoy the addition of QuietTuning with a new active noise cancellation feature.
