So, it is clear that the very fresh model will continue without bigger changes for next few years. The new model gets a new platform. It is the same C1XX architecture that is in use for many other crossovers from General Motors, such as GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse, Cadillac XT5 etc.
This platform brings many benefits. The combination of lightweight materials and efficient engines give great performances results. The new model is both quick and economic. It is also pretty spacious. There is plenty of room even for the passenger in the third row of seats. Finally, this architecture gives a much better driving experience, which makes the new model more competitive on the market.

The 2019 Buick Enclave will continue with the same V6 unit. This engine is the only powertrain option at the moment, but we will not exclude a possibility of seeing some additional, most likely a turbo inline-four, engine in the offer. The current engine has a displacement of 3.6 liters. It has a max output of 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and comes in a pair with a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The new crossover features great accelerations, but the new engine acts quite civilized and provides very pleasant and smooth drive, despite its huge amount of power. When it comes to the fuel economy, the new model is good for about 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on a highway.
