Complex yet elegant grille. The wings--two sets of them--are neat details. Large but not disproportionate grille. Artful flowing lines.
Many beautifully flowing lines on this car. Somehow they all seem to fit, none seems extraneous. A brick has rarely appeared more handsome.
"Floating roof" treatment at the top of the rearmost pillar. Rear end more square than it appears. Artful "sweep spears" high on the fenders are a classic Buick cue that work well here.
This saddle color is only offered on the Avenir. Sporty console with clunky shifter. It's not so much that the Buick's interior falls short as that the Volvo's surprises.
Low flowing instrument panel. Compared to Buicks earlier in the decade, the new Enclave has simpler controls (except the shifter).
Not a bad seat, but to be accepted as a true premium vehicle the Enclave might need more here. The new Enclave has roomier and much more comfortably positioned second-row seats than the original.
Much roomier than the Volvo's third row. Still not roomy. Much more space behind third row than in most large crossovers. Plus another 9 inches below floor.
So much cargo space with the third row folded that it won't often be necessary to fold the second. As much cargo space as you can get in a crossover (except slightly roomier because squarer Chevy).
Large compartment beneath the rear floor. Cover doesn't easily come off but can be folded upward. A 310-horsepower V6 is all 99.9% of large crossover owners will ever need. Quick and decent mpg.
