Buick Enclave
As the cousin of the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, the Buick Enclave is different enough to have a personality of its own. This crossover is definitely big, but that just means there’s more room inside. The only engine available for this vehicle is a 3.6L V6 that develops 288 hp and the only transmission is a 6-speed automatic. Buyers have a choice between FWD and AWD. Its competitors are the Acura MDX, Lincoln MKT and Lexus RX.
