2008 Buick Enclave crossover SUV
2008 Buick Enclave, the entry-premium brother-in-law of the latest GMC Acadia car-based crossover SUV, will be available this summer in three trims.
The front-wheel-drive Buick Enclave CX and Enclave CXL models will start at $32,790 and 34,990, and the all-wheel-drive CXL will set you back for at least $36,990.

All three trims will be available with an only 275hp 3.6-liter V6 VVT engine, mated to a six-speed automatic so it seems to be right to assume that the Enclave will feature both slim and fuel-efficient driving experience. And it will also be quiet.
The seven-seater will come with an enormous list of standard equipment features, including Xenon HID headlamps with automatic headlamp control, heated outside mirror, tri-zone automatic climate control, XM Satellite Radio and remote keyless entry.
List of safety features includes four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with rollover mitigation technology, tire pressure monitoring system and traction control. Of course, there will also be six standard air bags.
