Buick Enclave

Fuel consumption 8.4 – 13.0 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 83%(view ratings)
The Buick version of the Buick Enclave/Chevrolet Traverse/GMC Acadia trio is by far the most luxurious. With better sound insulation that the other two, the Enclave is also heavier and more expensive. First brought to market in 2008 and remodeled in 2013, it is still available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The only powertrain offered is the 3.6L V6 producing 288 horsepower and 270 lbs.-ft. of torque hooked up to a six-speed automatic transmission. Base versions start at around $45,000.
