2012 Buick Enclave Premium AWD Trim Overview

The top-of-the-line Buick Enclave Premium AWD combines optimal handling and good performance with an upscale cabin seating up to 8 passengers in three rows. The  Intelligent AWD system monitors traction on all 4 wheels and activates automatically when it detects slippage, sending power to the wheels with the most traction. Power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 engine, which generates 288 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. The V6 mates to a 6-speed automatic transmission, and posts fuel economy numbers of 16/22 mpg. Standard safety features for the Enclave Premium AWD include a rear-view camera and ultrasonic rear parking assist, as well as 6 airbags, 4-wheel antilock brakes, traction control and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system. Buick also adds new hill-hold assist braking technology as a standard safety feature for 2012.

The Enclave Premium's well-equipped interior includes such upscale features as leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, a power tilt/telescopic steering wheel and a 10-speaker Bose audio system. The driver's seat features 8-way power adjustment with memory settings, while the passenger seat offers 4-way power adjustment. A leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel with mahogany accents, tri-zone climate control and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror also add to the cabin's upscale feel. Tech features include a remote vehicle start system, Bluetooth and GM's OnStar system with 6 months of the Directions and Connections plan. Other standard features for the Enclave Premium AWD include steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, remote keyless entry and power windows and door locks. In addition, Buick adds an accessory power outlet to the center console as a new standard feature for 2012. Options include navigation and a rear-seat entertainment system.
