The 1st Enclave came out as a 2008 model and when I got mine, I kid you not, every stop had people asking about it and wanting to see inside or know more. It was definitely a distinct design at that time. Hate it or love it, every curve in original Enclave represented the new and bold design of Buick's new SUV and that is what I fell in love with. From the grill, to the shifter, to the door trims, to the overall shape of side window trim and even the center panel housing the classic clock, every angle was made to mimic the shape of the vehicle. The new Enclaves have shifted away from that so just wanted to share.
Facts, this looks like the Dodge Journey inside i hate this. The spacious inside that the enclave had in 2007, 2008 models is made it what it was. I hate technology upgrades, it takes away from what ever the original ones had that made it worth buying in the 1st place.
Great review. We just sold our 2018 Buick Enclave Essence with 75k Miles. We're buying a 2022 Buick Enclave Premium with 20K miles. We've owned so many Buicks! (2012 Verano, 2015 Encore, 2018 Envision, 2018 Enclave, and now the 2022 Enclave). My sister owns a 2023 Buick Enclave Essence. I also have a 2019 Silverado 1500 LT. I love GM products. RELIABLE and easy to maintain. Let's Go!
Yes my family had just bought one! We had one before that but we bought it out thinking we would not be able to find one or even afford it with the way the world is right now. We got lucky and got a grey 2022 Buick enclave premier we love it 😊
Wish there was an option to add bench seat in the middle instead of captions chair only. Bench seat should have access to add 3 car seats will be perfect. If Buick claims 3 people can sit in third row then they should also add headrest in the middle. This SUV is almost perfect to be family suv but need some some improvements: Third row access can be provided from both side of middle row seat ( press button will be awesome), bigger media screen, in this video when trunk closed or opened didn’t made any safety sound, under engine protection looked open enough to cause damage from stones or other road hazard, back of the enclave need change so that it will match front. That round shape does eat up some interior space, finally throw some good bumper to bumper warranty of 4 years for added peace of mind and 3 free oil service ( Jeep has 3, VW has 2, Hyundai has 3 or 2, Toyota has 2 & Buick has 1), OTA update. Implement them & Enclave will surely grab more customers.
Was expecting a little more on that infotainment unit as well as the driver side gauge cluster not being a full digital screen. Buick feels a little behind the curve from their competitors. Haven’t seen any of these on the road.
im glad it's small, you can see it just fine. it's good enough, and quite frankly im glad it's not this long single piece. that looks so tacky and awful, but anyway this is fine. it only looks small on camera, it looks better in person. get with the times, no the only thing GM needs to do, is make quality reliable vehicles. not fill the car with junk.
The redesign ruined the front end (very ugly and disproportionate), and the idiots at GM removed the excellent dual-clutch AWD which could send power to even just one wheel with grip. Now it's just a fake AWD system which will just spin the slipping wheels instead of actually providing AWD.

That front end is shocking to look at but in a kinda good way. It’s definitely better than the average cookie cutter crossover.
Makes an impression, doesn't it? Distinctive headlights for sure.
I really love this SUV!! Amazing video bro.
I might try to buy one as my first used SUV.
I feel like we watched him fall in love in real time 😂❤
I don’t think I’ve seen a single one of these on the road yet - are they selling at all?
They just hit dealers like a week ago. Plus, lack of chips means production is limited at the moment.
Yeah, this is the first and only one I’ve seen in person.

The Avenir trim level has digital gauges along with many more tech features.

Why is the screen so small? Gm, Chevy and Buick need to get with the times.

You couldn’t vacuum the carpet before tapping?
Bring back the Grand national
They somehow ,made it look worse it has Spiderman eyes headlight and the front fascia looks upside down
Eh they’re just trying new ideas on a old body style. This car will get replaced soon anyways.
WHY DID GM BUY BACK BUICK FRANCHISES??
They don't want to sell/service electric Buick vehicles.
Price?
Think this one was $54-$56K sticker.
Thank you for a concise, intelligent, some of these people sounds like clowns. Thank you 👍

The HUD is lame.
Dog I’m sorry but Buick needs to do better man, the suv is not appealing at all! Looks like Buick is always 5-10 years behind every other car brand!
Look at reliability, maintenance & price.
Buick is doing great.

@@forgiversb5901 x5 is 20k more and the tech ain't that much better. Sure more luxurious but not worth it.
