Buick Enclave: Enclave in the Market
The Enclave arrives at the right time, with its focus on getting relatively
good fuel economy without sacrificing the interior space that makes full-size
SUVs appealing. The only problem? There are a slew of other new three-row
crossovers — like the CX-9 and Veracruz — that the Enclave must contend with, in
addition to quality luxury competitors like Acura's MDX.
What this means is that it's not going to be easy for the Enclave to win over
shoppers, but it is well-positioned to try. The key will be convincing younger
consumers to stop by a Buick dealership for a test drive — which may actually be
the greatest challenge.
