The 2016 Buick Enclave Leather Group is designed with family needs at the forefront, offering generous three-row seating and easy access for car seats or booster seats in the second and third rows. With a flexible split-bench third row and rear air conditioning, it ensures comfort and practicality for growing families and frequent school runs, while a power liftgate and ample cargo room make daily errands and stroller loading simple.
Parents managing busy schedules will appreciate the Enclave’s spacious interior, which accommodates up to seven passengers without sacrificing comfort or storage. The Ebony with Ebony Interior Accents cabin offers supportive perforated leather-appointed seats, heated front seats, and memory functions for added convenience. In regions like St. Louis, where unpredictable weather and family outings are common, features like automatic temperature control, rear window wiper, and a roof rack for extra gear further enhance versatility for families on the go.
The Enclave delivers a smooth and composed ride thanks to its 3.6L V6 SIDI VVT engine paired with a 6-speed automatic electronic transmission. Front-wheel drive ensures stable handling whether navigating city traffic or heading out of town for weekend trips. With an EPA-estimated 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, the SUV balances ample power for highway merging and hill climbs with efficiency suitable for daily family use. Quiet highway cruising and a refined suspension contribute to low fatigue on longer journeys.
Family safety is a clear priority, with advanced features such as dual front and side impact airbags, overhead airbags, and an occupant sensing system helping to protect every row. The Enclave includes ABS brakes, electronic stability control, brake assist, rear parking sensors, an exterior parking camera, and traction control, providing parents with peace of mind during drop-offs, pickups, and weekend road trips. The LATCH system and rear air conditioning further support young families by simplifying car seat installation and keeping all passengers comfortable.
Convenience and technology are well integrated, with 7-passenger seating, power driver and passenger seats, heated steering wheel, and a power tilt-sliding moonroof for an airy cabin feel. The Buick IntelliLink infotainment system with AM/FM/CD, SiriusXM radio, and six speakers keeps everyone entertained, while Bluetooth connectivity and a garage door transmitter add to daily practicality. The leather steering wheel, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and automatic headlights enhance the premium experience.
Against family-focused competitors like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Enclave stands out with its refined interior, standard heated front seats, and spacious third row that remains comfortable even for older kids or adults. Its quiet ride and upscale features often come at a lower resale value, offering high value for families seeking luxury touches without the premium badge pricing. The power liftgate and flexible seating make it particularly well-suited for families juggling sports, school, and travel.
Is the Enclave practical for families with multiple children? Yes, with three rows, generous space, and easy car seat access, it’s built for large or growing families. How safe is it for daily driving and teen drivers? Extensive airbag coverage, stability control, and rear camera technology provide peace of mind for all ages.
