It’s actually pretty easy to paint a picture of the redesigned 2018 Buick Enclave with one word: more. As in more of everything. The mid-size luxury seven-seater SUV enters its second generation, packing in extra comfort, convenience, and features in an overall sleeker form. We dropped in on the rolling hills of Vernon, B.C., for the first Canadian drive of this modern Buick.
The outgoing model wasn’t exactly a boxy utility vehicle, but the domestic brand has further sculpted and refined the body, giving it a slimmer, more windswept look than before. The roofline is lower, the windshield angle sharper, and the wheelbase has been stretched out. Several design elements are clearly influenced by the Avista concept that debuted at the North American International Auto Show two years ago, particularly the front end with the wing-shaped accents in the headlamps and front grille.
