The Enclave seats up to 8 passengers in 3 rows, and offers a quiet, comfortable cabin equipped with such features as an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat and a 2-way power-adjustable passenger seat, with cloth upholstery throughout the cabin. A leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel with mahogany accents, tri-zone climate control and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror lend an upscale feel.
