2016 Buick Enclave Premium

2016 Buick Enclave Premium Sport Utility 4D: Refined Comfort and Premium DesignThe 2016 Buick Enclave Premium Sport Utility 4D is a midsize luxury-oriented SUV designed to combine the practicality of a three-row family vehicle with the comfort and refinement expected from Buick. Its standout qualities include a remarkably smooth and quiet ride, a spacious cabin, generous cargo capacity, and a strong collection of convenience and safety features. With seating for up to seven passengers, the Enclave provides the versatility needed for families, road trips, commuting, and everyday transportation. Its upscale interior and extensive equipment also give it a more luxurious character than many conventional three-row SUVs from the same era.

Buick's QuietTuning approach is one of the defining characteristics of the Enclave. The cabin is engineered to minimize road, wind, and outside mechanical noise, creating a relaxed environment for both short trips and long-distance travel. Combined with a well-controlled suspension, the Enclave delivers a comfortable ride over a variety of road surfaces. Rather than feeling stiff or overly sporty, its driving character emphasizes smoothness and stability, making it especially well suited to passengers who value comfort.
V6 Performance and All-Wheel-Drive CapabilityPowering the 2016 Enclave Premium is a 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine featuring variable valve timing, Spark Ignition Direct Injection, and dual overhead camshafts. The engine produces 288 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 270 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm. Power is delivered through a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive. This combination provides the Enclave with enough performance for daily driving while also giving it the capability needed when the vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and cargo.

The all-wheel-drive system adds another layer of versatility. AWD can provide additional traction when road conditions become slippery or when traveling on less-than-ideal surfaces. The Enclave can also tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, giving owners the ability to handle certain trailers, recreational equipment, or other loads. Fuel economy is rated at approximately 15 mpg in city driving and 22 mpg on the highway. While those figures reflect the tradeoff associated with a large three-row SUV and a V6 engine, the Enclave's focus remains on passenger capacity, comfort, and utility.
Spacious Three-Row InteriorInterior space is one of the strongest attributes of the 2016 Buick Enclave. The cabin provides generous room across all three rows, with a third row that is considerably more usable than what is found in many vehicles in the same category. Its thoughtful interior dimensions make it possible to transport a large group without making the rearmost passengers feel like they have been placed in an afterthought.

The Premium trim adds an impressive collection of comfort features. Heated and cooled front seats help maintain comfort during both cold mornings and warm afternoons, while power adjustment and driver and passenger lumbar controls allow occupants to find a more comfortable seating position.

Memory seating further improves convenience for drivers who regularly share the vehicle. The leather-wrapped heated steering wheel adds another upscale touch, particularly useful during colder weather.

The Enclave also provides automatic multi-zone climate control with dedicated rear air conditioning, helping passengers in different seating areas maintain a comfortable temperature. A power liftgate makes loading and unloading easier, while power windows, power locks, remote keyless entry, remote engine start, and a universal garage-door opener add everyday convenience.
Impressive Cargo VersatilityThe Enclave's large cabin is not only useful for passengers; it also provides substantial cargo flexibility. With the rear seats folded, the veh
