Buick manufacturers attractive and upscale utility vehicles in the three most popular segments. Buick SUVs offer quiet and refined accommodations, plentiful practicality, and sharp styling. They're also nicely equipped, with abundant amenities at attractive value propositions.
Buick SUVs are perfect for Collinsville commuters who want a more premium driving experience minus the luxury price tag. But which one is the best fit for you? To help you determine the ideal Buick model for your needs and lifestyle, here's a quick look at what each has to offer.
Buick Encore GX
The Buick Encore GX is an excellent choice for drivers seeking extra practicality with minimal space requirements. This classy subcompact crossover offers a smooth ride, nimble handling, and convenient dimensions, making it easy to navigate busy streets and crowded parking lots. However, while small on the outside, the Encore GX is impressively accommodating, with ample passenger space, comfortable seats, and flexible cargo capacity. When you need more room for an errand or adventure, you can fold the rear seats to expand storage from 23.5 to 50.2 cubic feet.
Every Encore GX includes amenities like keyless entry, heated mirrors, and Buick's signature QuietTuning active noise cancelation. You'll also get desirable tech features like an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and driver aids like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, a following-distance indicator, and automatic high beams.
Encore GX Preferred and Select trim levels are powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine (137 horsepower, 162 pound-feet of torque). Or you can select a 1.3-liter turbo-three (155 hp, 174 lb-ft) as an option for those tiers and standard in Essence models.
Buick Envision
If you need something roomier while maintaining a city-friendly physical footprint, consider the Buick Envision. Recently redesigned for its second generation, this sophisticated compact crossover has plenty of curb appeal. It also offers smooth, confident driving dynamics and roomy accommodations, especially for rear-seat occupants. However, if you don't need the extra seatbelts, you can fold the second row to expand the cargo area from 25.2 to 52.7 cubic feet.
The Buick Envision finds its motivation in a responsive 2.0-liter turbo-four engine making 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Its base trim (Preferred) is similarly equipped to the Encore GX but includes driver aids like Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. Available for Preferred models and standard on higher trims, the Comfort and Convenience Package adds several desirable upgrades, including heated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10.2-inch touchscreen.
Buick Enclave
Do you need extra space, seatbelts, and safety features for your larger family? The Buick Enclave is a compelling choice. This flagship midsize SUV boasts attractive three-row accommodations, handsome styling, and a wealth of amenities, including many as standard equipment.
While many SUVs in the segment have third rows suitable only for smaller children, the Buick Enclave provides comfortable seating throughout the cabin and still reserves nearly 24 cubic feet for cargo. Folding the rear seats expands the storage area to 57.7 cubic feet behind the second row and a capacious 97.4 cubic feet behind the first.
The Buick Enclave is powered by a robust 3.6-liter V-6 (310 horsepower, 266 pound-feet of torque) and features a well-tuned suspension system that neatly absorbs road imperfections for a calm and composed ride. Standard amenities include heated, power-adjustable front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and a hands-free liftgate. Additionally, every trim gets Enhanced Buick Driver Confidence technologies like:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Following Distance Indicator
- Front and Rear Park Assist
- IntelliBeam auto high beam assist
