2015 Buick Enclave Vehicle Spotlight

The 2015 Enclave is Buick's three-row luxury crossover that features outstanding design, performance and safety capabilities. It received a 5-star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It also ranked high in J.D. Power 2015 Dependability StudySM, where it outperformed several luxury brands. Also, Enclave received Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own Award in 2015 for the Luxury Full-Size SUV/Crossover segment. Let's take a tour through the main features of the award-winning 2015 Enclave: 

Sculpted exterior design 
The Enclave is instantly recognizable as a modern Buick, with sculpted styling and signature elements such as a black-chrome waterfall grille complemented by technologically advanced features, including signature wing-shape LED lighting. Monochromatic paint schemes accented with chrome contribute to the luxury crossover’s premium appearance.

A chrome finish within the rear fascia frames the exhaust outlets, for an integrated appearance that exemplifies Buick’s attention to detail. LED-accented taillamps give the vehicle a distinctive signature at the rear that reflects Buick’s elegance. A power-operated liftgate is standard.
Harmonious interior environment
The Enclave’s interior is defined by luxurious amenities and high-quality materials, along with the intuitive technology of Buick IntelliLink. Rich, saturated tones and contemporary color combinations reflect Buick customers’ lifestyles and enhance Enclave’s sense of fashion. Interior highlights include:
  • Ice-blue LED ambient lighting around the dash highlights Enclave’s flowing lines, emphasizing the cabin’s spaciousness
  • Soft-touch materials and real stitching throughout the cabin, as well as true chrome accents
  • Available dual moonroof; power front, fixed rear
  • Standard storage system under the floor in the rear cargo area
  • Standard power windows with driver and passenger express up/down feature
  • Standard rearview camera system
  • Standard remote vehicle starter system.

Enclave offers three rows of seating, available in seven- or eight-passenger configurations. The second-row seats feature the popular SmartSlide system. With the pull of a single handle, SmartSlide allows easier entry to the third row. There is 23.3 cubic feet (660 liters) of cargo space behind the third row and a maximum of 115.2 cubic feet (3,263 liters) of cargo space available behind the front row of seats.
Efficient, smooth driving experience
Enclave has a long 118.9-inch (3,021 mm) wheelbase, with a wide 67.3-inch (1,709 mm) front track and 67.1-inch (1,704 mm) rear track – a combination that enables smooth, stable ride and handling characteristics. It is driven by a 3.6L V-6 engine featuring fuel-saving direct injection technology and continuously variable valve timing, and matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Direct injection helps the engine produce power comparable to a V-8 – SAE-certified 288 horsepower (215 Nm) and 270 lb-ft of torque (366 Nm) – with good efficiency. EPA fuel economy estimates of 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway for front-wheel-drive models are very competitive with other three-row crossovers and utilities.
The available intelligent all-wheel-drive system provides increased traction on slippery roads by actively managing the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, based on factors such as wheel speed, throttle and surface conditions. There is no driver intervention; the system automatically decides how much torque to apply and delivers it to the wheels that have the best traction.
Safety features
The Enclave includes the segment’s first Front Center Air Bag, providing added protection for both front occupants in side-impact crashes. Standard safety features also include StabiliTrak, traction control, panic brake assist, rearview camera system and a total of seven air bags – including head-curtain side air bags covering outboard occupants in all three passenger rows.

Enclave offers a number of camera- and radar-based safety features to assist the driver in avoiding collisions. Side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert are radar-based, while forward collision alert and lane departure warning are camera-based. Forward collision alert detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver, giving him or her extra time to stop and/or change course. With side blind zone Alert, the driver is alerted to vehicles in the blind sport during a lane-change or merging maneuver.
