Riding on a
119-inch wheelbase, the production
Enclave appears virtually identical to the concept car shown at the
2011 North American International Auto Show in January. Like the concept, the
crossover sports signature
Buick cues include a waterfall grille -- with "tri-shield" emblem -- and portholes. The portholes, which are similar in design to the new Lucerne sedan, are mounted on the trailing edges of the hood, which forms a distinct "V" shape
NEW BUICK ENCLAVE Custom Interior
Inside, the
interior retains many of the
design elements of the concept, with a slightly more practical implementation. GM insists the craftsmanship that made
Enclave concept popular is carried over to the production model.
