2022 Buick Enclave Everything You Need To Know

Introducing the new 2022 Buick Enclave. Buick added exciting new exterior design details to complement the upscale interior loaded with comfortable amenities. In addition, Enclave has all the cutting-edge technology you crave.

With all the new elements of the Enclave, we thought we’d have our SUV experts break down the features you can expect to find to help you make an informed decision.

CURB APPEAL

2022 Buick Enclave

The refreshed exterior features an angular front fascia ending in a signature grille framed by LED headlights. Daytime running lights sling high around the sculpted hood’s corners, completing the aggressive stare. An available power moonroof and standard rear fixed skylight let in all the light and air on your Oklahoma City commute.

Standard low-profile roof rails provide the base for available crossbars to carry your kayaks and other gear for your adventures around Seminole. Sharp lines and soft curves define Enclave’s athletic profile. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels come in various styles, or you can opt for 20-inch designs. The hands-free power liftgate with logo projection integrates with the sleek taillights finishing the bold exterior. 

The Sport Touring package adds distinctive style with a blacked-out mesh grille, Pitch Dark Night lower trim, and 20-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels with Satin Graphite painted pockets. 

You can upgrade to the Enclave Avenir model which elevates luxury to new heights. Avenir models have an available enhanced design LED headlight and taillight package. In addition, your 20-inch wheels come in a stylish Pearl Nickel finish that complements the exterior chrome trim.

INTERIOR COMFORT

Enclave’s three-row interior seats seven people in refined comfort. Sophisticated leather in various colors blends with warm wood and brushed chrome accents. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard with an option for heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats. Smart Slide second-row seats tilt and slide for easy access to the third row. 

Buick’s Smart Tuning technology with Active Noise Cancelation lets you block out all the noise. Using triple door seals, a noise-reducing five-link rear suspension, and acoustic laminated glass delivers a peaceful quiet cabin where you can talk or listen to your favorite music.

IN-VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY

No matter where your life takes you around Seminole, you’ll stay connected to your world. An 8-inch touch-screen display powers your infotainment system. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and Amazon Alexa come pre-loaded in your Enclave. A wireless charging pad lets you ditch the cords to stay powered up as you make hands-free calls, access navigation, and stream your playlists.

In addition, your Enclave turns into a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. You can connect up to ten devices with a range of up to 50 feet, keeping you in touch no matter where you go. A head-up display projects your critical driving data to the windshield before you, enabling you to keep your eyes on the road where they belong while you receive information.

PERFORMANCE

Buick’s 3.6-liter V-6 engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission propels the Enclave. This powertrain produces 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque while delivering 18 mpg driving in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. 

You can opt for the all-wheel-drive system, which intelligently delivers power to the wheels with the most traction to keep you in control under various road and weather conditions. You see a slight drop in economy, with your 17 mpg around town and 25 mpg on the freeway. However, most drivers consider this a reasonable trade-off when the weather turns wet or wintry.

Engineers designed the Enclave using lightweight, high-strength materials for durability and performance. As a result, Enclave tows up to 5,000 pounds when you add the Trailering Package. In addition, the package includes a hitch guidance system with Hitch View. This feature incorporates dynamic gridlines and a rear camera system to guide you to your trailer.

STANDARD DRIVER-ASSIST TECHNOLOGY

Every Enclave comes standard with Buick Driver Confidence Plus, a suite of driver-assist systems designed to elevate your driving experience and help keep you safer. The suite includes a forward collision alert, which scans the road ahead for potential obstacles and signals you with visual and audio cues. If you react slowly, the automatic emergency braking system engages to help you mitigate or avoid a possible collision. Buick’s front pedestrian braking system recognizes when a person enters your path and can brake if necessary.

A Lane Keep Assist with lane departure warning system tracks your Enclave when traveling within marked lanes. When this system detects an unintentional drift, it alerts you and can provide gentle steering correction to help keep you centered in your lane. The lane change alert with Side Blind Zone Alert system uses similar technology to warn you when a vehicle enters your blind spots. Then you activate your turn signal, the system scans your blind spots for trouble, letting you change lanes confidently.

A rear cross-traffic alert does the same when you drive in reverse. This system scans for approaching vehicles on either side, enabling you to back out of those busy parking lots. The rear park assist system helps you back into tight spaces by projecting a live video from behind your vehicle to your infotainment screen. The following distance indicator alerts you when you get too close to the car ahead, and Intellibeam Auto High Beams toggle between high and low as you approach a vehicle traveling in either direction.

AVAILABLE DRIVER-ASSIST SYSTEMS

In addition to the standard suite above, you can add technology such as the rear camera mirror. This system lets you choose between the traditional rearview mirror or a camera view. As a result, you get a wider angle view with fewer obstructions in the camera view. The camera even features a washer function to clean the lens from dirt and dust.

You can opt for the adaptive cruise control system that enhances your standard cruise control. This system lets you set a following distance and speed to the vehicle ahead, thus reducing driver fatigue. Your ACC automatically slows your Enclave down as traffic slows and speeds you up as the way forward clears. Adding the HD surround vision system lets you see around your Enclave with a bird’s-eye view and to the front and rear with additional camera views. 

We hope you found this breakdown of the Enclave informative and helpful.
