Previewed by a concept car in 2006 and presented in
final production form the year after, the current generation Buick Enclave is
now facing the axe.
However, since there is an increased demand for
crossovers and SUVs, the GM-owned brand already has a successor in the
pipeline, which, according to AutoNews, will arrive in the very near future.
Set to debut this spring at the 2017 New York Auto
Show, and to go on sale around mid-year, the all-new Buick Enclave will adopt
the company's new design language that was first seen on the Avenir study, with
a similarly shaped grille and lighting units, on both sides, and a
cleaner-looking body.
Details surrounding its cabin are scarce for now,
but we should expect a new layout, alongside some fresh technology and a bundle
of driver assist features.
The 2018 Buick Enclave will probably share the same
architecture with the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse, namely the C1XX platform, and
while the automaker is keeping all these details a secret for now, some say
that turbocharged four-cylinder and V6 engines should be part of the family.
Nevertheless, with the 2017 NY Auto Show opening its
gates in mid-April, we don’t have to wait that long until learning everything
there is to know about it.
