Buick is preparing a new generation Enclave crossover: the first official sketches

The model will receive an appearance in the style of the Wildcat EV concept, which was presented in 2022. It is expected that the SUV will share technology with the current Chevrolet Traverse.

The American brand Buick belongs to the General Motors concern. It has been producing the Enclave crossover since 2007. Ten years later, the company presented the second generation crossover; it underwent an update in the summer of 2021. The current version has very good performance: judging by the website Goodcarbadcar.net, last year Enclave sales in the United States increased by 29% to 39.4 thousand units. The manufacturer is currently developing a third generation SUV.

Sketch of the new generation Buick Enclave

The company officially announced the new Buick Enclave. It is known that it will debut in 2024, but the presentation date has not yet been announced. The brand's press service accompanied the announcement with several sketches of the future new product. Buick Vice President Duncan Aldred also said that its exterior design will borrow some of the solutions from the Wildcat EV concept, which was presented at the Detroit Auto Show in 2022.

Judging by the published sketches, the new generation Enclave crossover from the show car will receive narrow running lights in the shape of a “swoosh”, a similar trapezoidal radiator grille and a “shark nose”. In general, this SUV will obviously be designed in accordance with the current corporate style of the brand.

In the sketches you can also see the car’s large air intake integrated into the lower part of the front bumper, massive plastic linings on the wheel arches, a spoiler on the top of the sloping tailgate and a “shark fin” antenna on the roof. The brand logo will likely move from the grill to the edge of the crossover hood.

So far, the company has not talked about the technology of the next Enclave. It is possible that this crossover will share the “filling” with the new Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, which debuted last year (both brands belong to the GM concern). We are talking about a 333-horsepower 2.5-liter turbo-four (maximum torque – 442 Nm), paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

For comparison, the current Buick Enclave, sold on the domestic market, is equipped with a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 gasoline engine. Its output is 314 hp and maximum torque is 360 Nm. The engine comes complete with a nine-speed hydromechanical automatic transmission.

What will be the cost of the third generation Enclave , will be announced later. Now the starting price of the current crossover on the domestic market is $43,900 (equivalent to approximately 3.87 million rubles at the current exchange rate). For the top version of the SUV they ask for no less than $57,500 (about 5.07 million rubles).

Remember, the brand is also represented in China. One of the latest new products here is the Buick Encore Plus crossover: the restyled version debuted at the end of last summer.
