This latest model of the Buick Enclave CX FWD is a smooth operator, with its 6 speed automatic transmission and powerful 3.6 liter V6 275HP engine. However, like many SUVs the sheer weight of the Buick Enclave blunts the performance slightly. With EPA fuel consumption figures of 16mpg City/22mpg highway, the Buick Enclave CX FWD is slightly heavier on fuel than some of the competitors. This latest version of the Buick Enclave CX is an entertaining drive, with little body roll and a sure-footed feel. With a full complement of safety aids fitted as standard including ABS, stability control, front, side and overhead airbags and seatbelt pre tensioners, the Buick Enclave CX FWD achieved an NHTSA Driver's Crash Rating of 5 stars. The Buick warranty on the Enclave is 4yrs/50,000 new vehicle warranty plus 5yrs/100,000 miles cover on the powertrain. The Buick Enclave CX is obviously designed to take on the Lexus RX and has similar strengths such as excellent refinement and civilised road manners. Is it as good as the Lexus RX? Well, that's a personal call, why not test drive both models and see which vehicle you prefer! Remember to compare ratings for reliability and customer satisfaction also.
