2009 Buick Enclave Styles

The Buick Enclave crowns GM's newest group of crossover SUVs, a batch that also includes GMC Acadiathe and Saturn Outlook. The Enclave has some characteristics not seen on Acadia or Outlook, including a power-adjustable steering wheel, additional noise insulation and rear backup camera. Like its siblings, three rows of seats standard with seating for up to eight passengers are offered in the Enclave. While the Acadia and Outlook compete with garden-variety Toyotas and Hondas, Buick says the Enclave will go head-to-head with Acura MDX and Volvo XC90 among others.
