Brothers and sisters, do you know that Buick has released another new car, and the new Enclave, which the market has been waiting for, has finally been released. Buick Enclave has two names, previously called Encore, and later changed its name to Encore in China. The Encore flag is an exclusive model in China, and I wonder if this overseas replacement can be introduced into the domestic version.
The Enclave released by Buick this time is a reborn version, the third generation of the Enclave family. The new generation is larger than the previous generation, with a more spacious interior and a higher body stance. It provides a more comfortable ride for drivers and passengers, and enhances storage capacity. However, the body measurements were not announced in this release.
In terms of appearance, the new generation of Enclave has an avant-garde shape, with a larger front grille area and a trapezoidal layout, which at first glance is thought to be a Chevrolet Trailblazer. The new styling design is inspired by the Wildcat EV concept car brought by Buick in 2022, and this set of front face design has been applied to Buick Envision and Angyang, and it is reasonable for Enclave to use it.
The interior changes are also huge, especially compared to the old model. In the top-of-the-line Avia version, the interior materials are more premium. The biggest highlight of the interior is the central control screen, which is designed with a 30-inch floating screen, which is a single screen that combines the instrument screen with the entertainment information screen. Some of the physical buttons are retained in the central T-shaped area, and the central armrest area is designed with a floating island, which is equipped with wireless charging for mobile phones and cup holders. Other features include a head-up display, panoramic view, a 12-speaker speaker system, ambient lighting, heated front seats, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
In terms of intelligent driving, the new car is equipped with GM's latest Super Cruise intelligent driving system, which will be equipped in North America on a subscription basis, and the first three years of the new car will be free.
In terms of power, the new generation Enclave only offers one power system, a 2.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 328hp, matched with an 8AT gearbox, the entry version is front-wheel-drive, and the mid-to-high configuration is full-time four-wheel drive, and the maximum towing mass of the new car reaches 5,000 pounds (2,268kg).
Epilogue:
This is the Overseas Enclave, and you can think of it as an early Oncorre. The new power also replaces the 3.6-liter V6 of the previous generation of Overseas Encorre. As for whether the domestic Anke flag will also follow such a new shape, let's wait and see.
