5 reasons to buy the 2015 Buick Enclave

1. Roomy three-row cabin 

The 2015 Enclave has a total of 153 cu-ft of passenger volume, as well as seating for up to seven passengers as standard with two captain’s chairs in the second row. This capacity can be increased to eight with the optional second-row bench seat — available on Leather and Premium trims. No matter how many occupants you have inside, everyone will have space to stretch out and make themselves comfortable, with 41.3 inches of front-row legroom, 36.8 inches of second-row legroom, and 33.2 inches of third-row legroom. 

2. Abundant cargo space 

The 2015 Enclave is equipped with the kind of vast cargo space that will handle everyone’s luggage with ease. In the standard configuration, you get 23.3 cu-ft of cargo volume in the trunk, which is plenty of capacity for even the largest shopping trips. For larger items such as furniture or surfboards, the seats both fold flat, meaning you can expand to 68.9 cu-ft behind the second row and a huge 115.2 cu-ft behind the front row. A power liftgate is standard on all trims, making loading and unloading even easier.  

3. Strong standard engine 

Every 2015 Buick Enclave features a 3.6L V6 engine, producing 288 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. That’s ample power to make highway cruising a breeze, and it also has the bonus of giving the 2015 Enclave impressive pulling power as well. You can already fit all your holiday luggage in the trunk easily, but what if you want to bring a trailer with you on your next adventure? With the 2015 Buick Enclave, you can do just that - the V6 can tow up to an estimated 4,500 lbs with the available towing package when properly equipped.

 

4. Loaded and tech-forward feature list 

There are a lot of features and equipment to fit inside the 2015 Enclave, even on standard models. Starting with the stacked Convenience Group, all 2015 Enclave models come with rear parking sensors, cruise control, tri-zone automatic climate control, available OnStar® telematics, and a six-speaker sound system.

The Leather Group adds leather upholstery and heated front seats, while the top-line Premium Group wraps everything up with adaptive headlights and an enhanced ten-speaker Bose® sound system.  

5. Numerous driver convenience technologies 

Just to add the cherry on top of this very comfortable and convenient package, the 2015 Enclave has a selection of modern driver convenience technologies available to make every journey as stress-free as possible. Base Convenience Group models include rear parking assist and a rearview camera system, while the Leather Group adds blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and a side blind-spot alert. Rounding things off with the Premium group, this adds adaptive headlights, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning.
