Remember that old TV show hosted by Robin Leach? I think it was called “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” I used to geek out to that show, hoping I’d one day be able to live a life of luxury. I’d ride my yacht from island to island, drinking with every hot babe in sight. Best of all, I’d pay for it ALL! Yup, I was going to be the one to pick up the tab. Well, fast forward 20 years, and yea… that didn’t end up being the case. While I may not be able to afford caviar at every meal or a DJ for every party, I’ve still found clever ways to live a pseudo-life of luxury. One of the major ways I’ve accomplished this is by opting for affordable luxury vehicles. No vehicle better fits this bill than the incredible 2019 Buick Enclave. The nameplate delivers all of the luxurious amenities and capabilities you could possibly want from an opulent ride, and it’s a big reason why the vehicle continues to climb the charts among the most popular vehicles on the market.
Below, we’ve explored some of the most luxurious attributes of the 2019 Buick Enclave. Take a look for yourself, and you’ll understand how you could soon be living that life of luxury.
Performance
We’ll admit that it’s tough to describe a vehicle’s engine as “luxurious,” but that seemed like a proper adjective for the system that’s included under the hood of the 2019 Buick Enclave. At the end of the day, it isn’t as much about the power specs (although those are plenty impressive). Rather, it’s more about Buick’s ability to provide owners with an optimal (and, vicariously, a luxurious) driving experience.
The 3.6-liter V6 engine proves to be the perfect match for the 2019 Enclave. Teaming up with a nine-speed automatic transmission, the system is ultimately capable of pumping out 310 horsepower. Even with all of this power, the engine still proves to be plenty efficient. Owners can ultimately expect the unit to deliver an incredible 26-mile-per-gallon highway fuel efficiency (when equipped with the front-wheel-drive system), numbers that aren’t often seen in this particular segment.
As we mentioned, engineers also did an admirable job of including amenities that will boost the vehicle’s drivability. The innovative five-link rear suspension system will help to improve overall handling of the SUV, while the available all-wheel-drive system maximizes traction. Sure, the Enclave may include a powerful engine, but that doesn’t mean the nameplate is hard to control. Rather, thanks to these power specs and the mechanical features, drivers can actually enjoy their luxury vehicle’s performance.
A life of luxury is accompanied by happiness, right? Those who live opulent lives tend to enjoy their experiences. Well, thanks to the performance specs and capabilities of the 2019 Buick Enclave, we’re convinced you’ll appreciate any driving experience.
Safety
Buick is particularly focused on helping drivers to avoid accidents from occurring in the first place. To achieve this goal, engineers added a number of features to the SUV, and these inclusions ultimately do play a role in preventing collisions.
For instance, the Forward Collision Alert will notify the driver when a crash appears to be imminent. We’re all guilty of occasionally losing focus of the road, and this system will serve as your co-pilot and alert you if you’re approaching another vehicle at too great of a speed. Plus, thanks to the Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking, the vehicle can even decelerate or stop the SUV if the driver fails to respond to the subsequent cues, thus lessening (or even preventing) the impact. The Front Pedestrian Braking plays a similar role, it manipulating the brakes when something (whether it be a vehicle, object, or another car) suddenly appears in front of the Enclave.
Even the Surround View Camera is a notable safety inclusion. Thanks to this feature, drivers can constantly monitor everything that’s happening around their SUV. The accompanying “bird’s eye” view will prove to be particularly helpful when you’re traveling at low speeds, as the camera will alert you of any obstacles that are in your way.
If you do find yourself in an accident, there’s no need to worry. That’s because Buick added the OnStar Safety and Security system. If you are in a collision, a simple click of a button will connect you with the Automatic Crash Response system, Emergency Services, and Roadside Assistance. Help is truly right at your fingertip when you’re traveling in the 2019 Buick Enclave.
So what do all of these functions have to do with luxury? For starters, they’ll help drivers avoid accidents, thus preserving the style and opulence of their 2019 Buick Enclave. Furthermore, a luxurious driving experience shouldn’t be accompanied by any stress. Since the Enclave has you covered when it comes to safety, you’ll be able to better focus on the road.
Technology
Sure, we understand how important the performance and safety is when it comes to a new vehicle. Now it’s time to dig into the aspect you’re truly focused on: the technology. Realistically, this shouldn’t be all that important to a driver… but we get it. After all, you’re spending the majority of your time inside the vehicle, right? You might as well enjoy your driving experience!
Fortunately, the 2019 Buick Enclave includes a number of amenities that will be surely be appreciated by both drivers and passengers. Primarily, the Buick Infotainment System provides drivers with quick and easy access to an assortment of notable applications, allowing drivers to access their favorite radio stations or an intuitive navigation unit via the eight-inch touchscreen. Of course, the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto doesn’t hurt. Thanks to the smartphone compatibility, drivers can seamlessly connect their smartphone to the unit, allowing them to perform many of their gadget’s basic functions. Does it get more convenience (and, vicariously, luxurious) than that?
Of course, the Enclave provides a whole lot more than an impressive infotainment system. The built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot provides a strong wireless internet connection for up to seven devices, meaning you and your passengers will always be able to stay on the grid throughout your journey (without wasting your valuable data, of course). The brand also included their Buick Connected Services, allowing owners to remotely monitor their new vehicle at all times. Whether you want to start your car, check vehicle diagnostics, or configure your Wi-Fi system, it will all be possible thanks to the advanced mobile application.
Convenience and entertainment are two major attributes of a luxury vehicle, and the 2019 Buick Enclave more than delivers in that regard.
We’re all striving for the luxurious, opulent, and rich lifestyle. Unfortunately, our budgets usually make that unrealistic.
Fortunately, you can still have a taste of that life… even if it only comes for a few hours each day.
