2012 Buick Enclave Base AWD Trim Overview

The 2012 Buick Enclave Base AWD crossover vehicle comes equipped with an Intelligent AWD system, which monitors traction for all 4 wheels and activates automatically when it detects wheel slippage, directing power to the wheels with the most traction. The AWD system channels power from a 3.6-liter V6 engine with direct injection and variable valve timing. It generates 288 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, and links to an electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy numbers check in at 16/22 mpg. Standard safety features include the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, as well as 6 airbags, daytime running lights, 4-wheel antilock brakes and traction control. Buick also adds new hill-hold assist braking technology as a standard safety feature for 2012.

The Enclave Base AWD's comfortable, well-equipped cabin receives such standard upscale features as an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a 2-way power-adjustable passenger seat, a leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel with mahogany accents, tri-zone climate control and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Other standard features include cloth upholstery, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, Bluetooth and an AM/FM audio system with SiriusXM satellite radio. Buick also includes the OnStar system with 6 months of the Directions and Connections plan, which includes turn-by-turn directions. In addition, the automaker adds an accessory power outlet to the center console as a new standard feature for 2012. Outside, the Enclave Base AWD displays such standard features as automatic on/off HID headlights, foglights, a power liftgate, dual chrome exhaust tips and heated power side mirrors with integrated turn signals, as well as 19-inch aluminum wheels.
